Multi-instrumentalist LANKS today announces a second Melbourne show at the Northcote Social Club and reveals the supports for his upcoming ‘twentyseven’ album tour in August.
Joining him across all dates is Melbourne-based Tyne-James Organ, whose single ‘Watch You Go’ was added to full rotation on triple j earlier this year, and recently sold-out his all-ages east coast ‘Watch You Go’ tour. Essie Holt will be opening support for all east coast shows (except Castlemaine), and MANE, Chelsea Cullen and Eliza Hull step up as local supports in Adelaide, Fremantle and Castlemaine.
These announcements follow a busy few weeks for LANKS, also known as Will Cuming. He made a recent appearance on triple j’s Like A Version, performing Hayden James’ NUMB, and his dreamy collaboration with Tia Gostelow, ‘Strangers’, came out last Friday and was added to full rotation on triple j this week.

“A debut album soaked in musical richness and emotional weight.” – BEAT
“LANKS manages to thread motifs of growth throughout ‘twentyseven'” – THE 405
.
LANKS released his highly anticipated debut album ‘twentyseven’ in April this year via THAA Records. ‘twentyseven’ LP details LANKS’ struggles as a musician and explores his personal relationships surrounding his life and career. The title comes from LANKS grappling with his long-standing idea that 27 was the milestone for success, given many heroes had passed away at this age and already achieved a lasting legacy. Throughout the album, he shifts from a solitary and introspective view of life, into an embrace of the people around him.
LANKS has released three EPs: ‘Viet Rose’ (2016), ‘Banquet’ (2015) and ‘Thousand Piece Puzzle’ (2014). His work is self-produced, but since ‘Viet Rose’, he has worked with Andrei Eremin (Chet Faker, Hiatus Kaiyote, Oscar Key Sung) on additional production. After releasing acclaimed singles ‘Bitter Leaf’, ‘Holla’ and ‘Comfortable,’ LANKS joined brand-new Melbourne-based label, THAA Records in 2017.
A topline writer, vocalist, and producer, his collaborations include Just A Gent, Kilter, Ngaiire, Woodes, Tia Gostelow and Set Mo. With a distinct, vibrant live set, LANKS has toured with acts such as RÜFÜS DU SOL, Vera Blue, Glass Animals, Toro y Moi, as well as a guest appearance for both Kilter and The Kite String Tangle.
