“Illy's natural flow, incredible hooks and onstage presence instantly brought an eager audience to the front of the room… his sold out gig delivered everything expected, and just a little more.” - Junior

Sydney, Newcastle, Traralgon, Melbourne, Ballarat, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra – that’s the incredibly impressive (and still growing!) list of sold-out shows for Illy on his national 21-date ‘The Chase’ album tour.

The tour, in aid of Illy’s acclaimed second album ‘The Chase’, has only it’s West Australian dates to go. Illy hits Bunbury, Mandurah, Albany, Perth and Fremantle later this month, with ARIA Award-winner producer M-Phazes by his side. Illy is taking WA’s own Bitter Belief on the road, and hand-picking some additional local supports along the way.

In his hometown of Melbourne, triple j’s live music team dropped in to the Corner Hotel to record an entire set for Live At The Wireless. The performance will be broadcast nationally on the j’s at 8pm on Monday 16 May and again at 5pm on Sunday 22 May. Tune in!

And in a special announcement, Illy heads to the Northern Territory to make his debut appearance in Darwin at Discovery on July 1. Also just announced are shows in NSW at the Sussex Inlet Tavern on June 10 and Waves in Wollongong on June 12.

Amongst the headline shows, Illy plays Come Together Festival in Sydney on June 11, River Sessions in Mackay on July 2 and the huge Splendour In The Grass festival at Woodfordia on July 29.

In the world’s biggest voted music countdown, triple j’s Hottest 100, ILLY took out the Number 29 spot with the track ‘It Can Wait’ (ft. Owl Eyes). Second single and the album’s title track is now making waves at radio. Check out the new video clip here - http://youtu.be/Vul9TYHZd88
