SOLD-OUT NORTH AMERICAN TOUR KICKS OFF FEBRUARY 11TH

DEBUT EP THE KIDS ARE COMING OUT NOW

DECEMBER 19, 2019 – Australian artist Tones And I has broken in to the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart this week with her global smash “Dance Monkey.” The song reaches a new high of #9 following Tones And I’s recent stateside TV performances on NBC’s The Voice and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

In her home country of Australia, Tones And I is rewriting history with “Dance Monkey,” as it remains the all-time longest running #1 on the ARIA singles chart, now in its 20th week atop the tally. In the UK, Tones And I has matched a similarly remarkable record as “Dance Monkey” sits at #1 on the Official Singles Chart for an 11th consecutive week, marking the longest running #1 song of all time by a female artist on the chart. Tones And I continues to make a massive international impact with “Dance Monkey” crossing a 1 Billion streams globally, while hitting #1 in 20 countries around the world. “Dance Monkey” is featured on Tones And I’s debut EP, The Kids Are Coming, which is out now on Elektra Records.

Originally from Australia’s Mornington Peninsula, Tones And I traveled to Byron Bay in early 2018 to take a chance at busking. On the first day she had crowds spilling onto the street. Tones quit her retail job and decided to make Byron her new home where she lived out of her van for a year, honing her songwriting and busking every weekend. Today, “Dance Monkey” has been certified 7x platinum by the ARIA with Tones and I taking home four major wins at this year’s ARIA Awards including: “Breakthrough Artist,” “Best Female Artist,” “Best Pop Release,” and “Best Independent Release.”

This February Tones And I will head out on her first-ever North American tour kicking off on February 11th at Portland, Oregon’s Roseland Theater. The sold-out run will include stops in Seattle, Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin, Dallas, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Philadelphia and Toronto, along with nights in New York City. In the midst of her North American tour, Tones And I will kick off the European leg of “The Kids Are Coming Tour” with a two night stand in London (2/28 & 2/29) followed by shows in Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria and France [see itinerary below].

Tones And I recently shared a stripped back performance of “Dance Monkey,” which is accompanied by an official video streaming now on Tones And I’s YouTube channel. The clip follows Tones And I’s official music video for The Kids Are Coming’s title track. The Kids Are Coming also features the ARIA platinum certified single “Never Seen The Rain,” and breakout single “Johnny Run Away,” which Tones And I originally uploaded to Triple J’s ‘Unearthed,’ an artist discovery platform for independent music. Within twelve hours the song was on Triple J’s airwaves with hosts calling it a ‘Hottest 100’ contender. This past March “Johnny Run Away” became the most played song on Australia’s Triple J Radio for two weeks straight, racing to 2x platinum certification from the ARIA.
