Swedish soul-pop singer, LÉON has today announced her Australia & New Zealand debut with a run of east coast shows beginning November 29 at Auckland's The Tuning Fork then onto Melbourne, December 1 at Howler. The rising pop star, who’s been named as “one to watch” by Katy Perry and “Sweden’s next big thing” by Vogue, will bring her softly glowing contemporary pop, which evokes the classic sounds of the 60s and 80s, to Australian fans for the very first time this summer.
Born from musician parents in Stockholm, Sweden, LÉON is only doing what she knows best. It's in her blood, and she knows nothing else. Since releasing her viral disco-pop single ‘Tired of Talking’, in late 2015, LÉON’s songs have been streamed over 350 million times worldwide. Blowing up unexpectedly on SoundCloud, her debut accumulated almost 70 million streams on Spotify and earned praise from Katy Perry and Vogue, who dubbed LÉON as “Sweden’s Next Big Thing” in 2016.
