Last here in Aotearoa 24 hours before the pandemic closed our borders in March 2020, Australian sensation Alex Cameron has announced his imminent return, performing with six-piece band including saxophonist and collaborator Roy Molloy this December in Auckland and Wellington. Globally beloved for a marathon run of big-hearted and lyrically daring crooning hits including 'Candy May', 'Stranger's Kiss' (with Angel Olsen), 'Politic Of Love' and 'Runnin' Outta Luck', Cameron's new album Oxy Music ditches earlier themes of hyper-masculine self-critique for an earnest interrogation of "addiction, mental health, and love" — created in response to the ongoing opioid addiction crisis in the US. Fans of world-class showmanship, huge tunes and exceptional stage banter know exactly where they need to be when Cameron, Molloy and their merry crew finally hit our shores again this summer, grip the official details below...

“The album is a story, a work of fiction, mostly from the perspective of a man... Starved of meaningful purpose, confused about the state of the world, and in dire need of a reason to live.” — Alex Cameron
