Blowing in from Oxford, Stornoway are one of the most talked about bands emerging from the UK. In Australia for the first time this February as part of Laneway Festival, the band will perform two exclusive sideshows in Sydney and Melbourne. Support comes from Otouto, a welcome addition to the shows and ready to unleash their wonderful soul pop gems, with the Melbourne show also featuring local purveyors of groovy indie folk, The Bon Scotts.

Stornoway's debut album “Beachcomber’s Windowsill”, lead by critically acclaimed first single “Zorbing”, is a labour of love, of extraordinary beauty, that is by turns fiery, wistful and exuberant. The charming brand of quintessential pop, steeped in pastoral hues has won them fans across the globe, and Australian audiences will finally get the chance to witness their blissful timeless balladry this February.
