Angus & Julia Stone, currently enjoying global success with their sophomore album Down The Way, return to the UK for their second tour this year in December.

The duo who kick started their career in the UK – and consider London their second home – have steadily amassed a devoted following alongside considerable critical acclaim. Having wrapped up their spring tour with a sold out show at Shepherds Bush Empire, they’ll return in December for six shows including a date at the Royal Festival Hall.

Meanwhile the band’s profile is rapidly on the rise across Europe with Big Jet Plane a huge radio hit in France along with sales of over 30k for their current album. They will play an extensive run of dates across Switzerland, Germany, France and Holland ahead of their UK tour.

The fruits of their labours will be heard on a compilation album – also featuring likes of Lissie, Lyre Birds and Sarah Blasko - to be released later this year.

Angus & Julia will play the Word Arena at Latitude on Friday July 16th.
