LÉON
The Swedish Soul-Pop Singer Announces Debut New Zealand Tour
2019 You And I Tour - Part II
AUCKLAND, NZ (Sep 16, 2019) – Swedish soul-pop singer, LÉON has today announced her New Zealand debut with a show at Auckland's The Tuning Fork this November. 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 New Zealand
fans for the very first time this summer.
Tickets for all shows go on sale at 11am Thursday, September 19.
My Live Nation members can secure tickets first during the exclusive pre-sale beginning 11am Wednesday, September 18
until 10am Thursday, September 19.

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.
Following up with another three EPs, a full-length album, three headline tours of North America, festival sets at
Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Coachella, along with features in Vogue, Glamour, In-Style, W and The FADER, to name a few,
solidifying LÉON’s presence as an international artist.
With musical inspirations ranging from Norah Jones, Adele and Monica Zetterlund, LÉON’s ability to intertwine the soul
of the 60s with lush pop melodies led to the critically acclaimed release of her vibrant, self-titled debut album in
early 2019. The album has delivered the hit single, ‘You and I’, which was featured in the A-list on BBC Radio in the
UK, and garnered national airplay across Europe and Scandinavia.
Embarking on her first global world tour in 2019 with dates across North America, Europe and Scandinavia, LÉON will
finally make her debut in New Zealand with an intimate club show at The Tuning Fork on November 29. Don’t miss your
chance to jam out with LÉON this summer.
