Music News - Nico & Vinz Announce Australasian Tour
10 September 2015 - 0 Comments
Update 10/09 -
‘Due to an extension of recording commitments in the USA, we advise that Nico & Vinz have been forced to dramatically reduce the time available to visit Australia & New Zealand later in 2015.
The tour dates announced this morning will now not proceed, however Nico & Vinz will still visit Australia in November to undertake promotional activity in support of their new album. Standby for further details in due course.
All parties are working to agree a new tour period for the region in early 2016.'

Hailing from Oslo, Nico & Vinz (Nico Sereba and Vincent Dery) write and
perform songs that speak joyously of life, love and identity. With a sound
reminiscent of The Police and Graceland-era
Paul Simon, these exciting new songwriters of Ivorian and Ghanaian backgrounds
expertly infuse their influences – from pop to reggae, West African dance to
hip hop, rock to soul.
The duo’s breakout single, Am
I Wrong, flew to the top of the charts in Norway, Denmark, Finland
and Sweden in 2013. Claiming numerous accolades and awards in the region, the
single has since received 20 Platinum combined-certification in Scandinavia,
and almost Double Platinum in the US.
Upon its US radio debut in 2014, Am
I Wrong instantly became the #1 most-added record in the Top 40,
while also claiming the honour of being the single most Shazamed song
worldwide. With more than 115 million streams to date, the single dominated
streaming and download charts worldwide – reaching Top Five positions through
iTunes, Billboard’s Hot 100 and Spotify’s US charts.
Nico & Vinz performed both Am
I Wrong and its soaring follow-up, In Your Arms, at the Nobel Peace Prize
concert at the end of 2013. Vinz describes that experience as surreal: “I will
never forget it. It was one of the all-time highlights. We had dreamed about it
four years earlier, and then it happened.”
Drawing on personal experiences with regret and despair, the duo’s latest
single That’s How You Know (ft.
Kid Ink & Bebe Rexha) further expands Nico & Vinz’s range – mixing
stripped-back instrumentation with bare, honest lyricism to stirring effect.
