THE OUCH AUS TOUR! – MARCH 2025 SYDNEY | MELBOURNE “Delicate bubble of funk” – Fader “Sophisticated pop&B” – The Guardian “These guys do alternative pop to the absolute extreme, they are absolute connoisseurs in it” – Jack Saunders, BBC R1 Secret Sounds is excited to announce that London-based soulful alt-pop duo HONNE are returning to Australia in March 2025, set to light up stages in Sydney and Melbourne with their energetic, heartfelt live performances. HONNE, aka Andy Clutterbuck and James Hatcher, will head down under with a fresh set of tracks from their much-anticipated fourth studio album OUCH, which dropped in early September. OUCH is described by Andy as “the most personal and delicate album we've created. It's inward, outward, forward and backward looking and documents my wonderful and daunting journey into parenthood and how that has re-shaped me as a person.” Deep down HONNE has always been about two people and the friendship between them. Sure, the UK alt-pop duo have reached incredible heights – from those initial humble recording sessions in Bow, East London, they’ve notched up more than three billion streams, selling more than 210,000 tickets for their live shows. But alongside this, it’s been a story of growth, maturity, and kinship. 2021’s Let’s Just Say The World Ended A Week From Now, What Would You Do? pushed the duo as far as they could go. Laden with unbelievable features – including walk-on roles from Pink Sweats, Griff, Niki, and R&B titan Khalid – it reinforced their global stature. HONNE released OUCH through their own Smile More Recordings and for their radically ambitious independent era, HONNE have removed the gloss to show the emotions underneath – little wonder, then, their name means “true feelings” in Japanese. Don’t miss your chance to share the feels with HONNE when they head to Sydney’s Roundhouse and Melbourne’s Forum in March 2025.
