NEIL FRANCES Announce Hollywood Bowl Debut On Nov 23rd + Life Is Beautiful & Portola Festivals
June 28, 2024 BY Bailey Vigliaturo
Los Angeles-based duo NEIL FRANCES announced this week they will support Empire Of The Sun at the Hollywood Bowl on November 23rd and will play the inaugural Life Is Beautiful Presents: A Big Beautiful Block Party alongside Justice, LCD Soundsystem, James Blake, and more in Las Vegas this September. The new dates are an extension of Australian-born Jordan Feller and Southern California native Marc Gilfry’s first-ever world tour, which included packed performances at Red Rocks, Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Electric Forest. Next up, they will head to Europe for SZIGET Festival (Hungary), Frequency Festival (Austria), Cabaret Vert Festival (France), Lost Village Festival (UK), and headline shows in Berlin, Amsterdam, London, and more. Tickets are on sale now, and a full list of shows can be found below.
The summer tour follows their new collaboration, “High Notes,” with rapper PawPaw Rod, and the May 17th release of their deluxe album, It’s All a Bit Fuzzier, which features six remixes by artists like Poolside, and Alan Braxe of singles from their October 2023 record, It’s All a Bit Fuzzy. The collab-heavy record refines NEIL FRANCES’ natural, club-ready groove with sonic influences ranging from ‘80s/’90s rave culture, ‘70s funk and soul, yacht rock, and classic hip-hop. Alluding to a dizzy night out, followed by a pleasantly woozy morning after, it is “an ode to house music.” Featuring rising talents such as dreamcastmoe, St. Panther, PawPaw Rod, and DRAMA to create an adventurous, shape-shifting collection. The record was supported by the likes of KCRW, BBC6, Travis Mills, This Song Is Sick, SPIN, Rolling Stone, NME, and more.
More to come from NEIL FRANCES soon.
