OWL CITY

AT YOU LIKE FIREFLIES

IN AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND THIS NOVEMBER!

The Frontier Touring Company proudly announces the return of Owl City to Australia and New Zealand for a series of headline performances this November.

In the basement of a modest house in a small town in Minnesota, emerged the electronic and melodically infectious tunes of Adam Young, more widely known as pop darling Ow lCity.

Owl City’s first official album release titled Ocean Eyes took on a life of its own and achieved multiplatinum sales, including the four times platinum single ‘Fireflies’ which rose to #1 in 22 countries, was positioned number one on the ARIA singles chart and placed in the RIANZ Top 5.

‘The likes of UmbrellaBeach, Cave In and Vanillla Twilight blend bittersweet longing, wintry elemental imagery and melodies that worm their way into your consciousness with effortless aplomb.’ – Q Magazine

‘The third album from MySpace phenom Owl City, a.k.a., Adam Young, isPristine pop electronica: synths and strings meld seamlessly into dreamy, summery atmospherics…The result is a skillfully crafted record that feels blissfully monochromatic.’ – Spin

2010 saw Young reach our shores for the first time in support of Cobra Starship. Since his previous visit, Young has supported John Mayer and Maroon 5 on their American tours and is now returning to Australasia for his very own headline shows. OwlCity is making an enormous impact on the music scene and the fans are ready for the dynamic and exciting live show he brings to every stage.
