Justin Bieber is set to bring his ‘Purpose Tour’ back to the UK and Ireland for a few extra dates this summer. And we can now reveal his support act for British Summertime in Hyde Park – it’s Sheppard!
The six-piece indie-pop band who hail from Brisbane, Australia, are no strangers to sharing the stage with Justin, as they already joined him on the ‘Purpose Tour‘ in their home country. “It’s a tour we will never forget. Playing stadiums has always been a dream of ours and we are so fortunate to have had that experience,” is what they had to say when we spoke to them just over a month ago about being on the road with the ‘Sorry’ singer.
But, that’s not all. The band are also set to be supporting Little Mix on the girls’ ‘Summer Shout Out’ tour this summer, which kicks off in Kingsholm Rugby Club in Gloucester on 24th June. It seems as though these lucky Aussies are getting the chance to rub shoulders with some of pop’s best and we’re not jealous one bit. Nope…
Sheppard recently released the music video for their acoustic version of the hit single, ‘Keep Me Crazy’. This magnificent stripped back version displays the soulful harmonies and impeccable musicianship of the band.
The single is the first from their upcoming second album, which is set to be released later this year. It already passed over 2 million views just a few weeks following the release.
If you’re loving the band, you’ll be excited to know that they’ve just announced two UK headline shows at Glasgow’s Garage on 27th June and London’s Lexington on 11th July.
Whether you hope to see them as Justin Bieber’s support act, on tour with Little Mix or headlining their own shows, tickets are available now.
