Handsome Tours is thrilled to present the Veneer 20th Anniversary 2024 Australian Tour in March 2024, featuring the maestro of indie folk singer-songwriter José González. This exceptional tour not only celebrates a major milestone in the career of this musical icon but also invites fans to rekindle the enchantment of his 2003 classic, VENEER. With a career spanning over two decades, José González has solidified his legacy as a masterful singer-songwriter renowned for his distinctive fusion of folk melodies and introspective storytelling. His enduring impact on the music industry is undeniable, making this tour a must-see for music enthusiasts of all generations.
José González’s Veneer 20th Anniversary 2024 Australian tour will take fans on a captivating journey across Australia’s most iconic cities and venues. The tour starts on Wednesday, March 6th, 2024, at the historic Astor Theatre in Perth; on Saturday, March 9th, the tour moves to Adelaide, where José will grace the stage at the vibrant WOMADelaide Festival. Then, Melbourne’s Forum is on Sunday, March 10th, and the tour concludes on Wednesday, March 13th, at the Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane.
Despite its minimalist production – featuring only José’s soothing vocals and the delicate plucking of an acoustic guitar’s nylon strings – VENEER is a timeless masterpiece that has sold over 1 million copies worldwide. It’s an album that has resonated with fans across the globe, and this tour is a fitting tribute to its enduring impact.

“Twenty years ago, something magical happened. In the space between technology and ideology, two terms that have been fighting each other to define the days that have come since an album appeared. A collection of songs that seemed defiantly out of place. Yet somehow, these songs knew themselves. Which, thinking back on it now, better explains why their creator, a young Swedish musician called José González, felt so familiar to us so quickly.” – Zane Lowe on José González’ Veneer.
José González’s remarkable musical journey spans three solo albums in 18 years, captivating audiences in distinguished venues worldwide from Sydney to Tallinn. He’s filled iconic locations such as London’s Royal Albert Hall and Sydney Opera House while preserving his humble and unassuming demeanour.
José González’s Australian tour promises to be a soul-stirring experience, taking audiences through the ethereal sounds of VENEER and beyond. This celebration of musical brilliance will remind fans of this album’s profound impact on their lives

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
