Adam Newling is up and about after the release of his debut album, The Bloody Unknown, so much so that he's announced a run of national dates to end the year.

"I'm taking my album on the road, The Bloody Solo Tour!" Newling posted on social media. "There's something special about playing these songs solo, just as I write them. Looking forward to some yarns with ya x."

Released in August, the 13-track collection was two years in the making and features the singles 'Foxtrap', which made him the #1 most-playlisted Australian artist of the week, and 'LIFE', which earned triple j rotation.

Newling's Australian tour commences in Fremantle with a performance at Pollen Festival on Saturday 14 November, followed by Thirroul Music Festival in Thirroul on Saturday 28 November and Mirroball Ministries in Brisbane on Sunday 29 November.

The singer-songwriter then makes his way to the Grace Emily in Adelaide on Thursday 10 December, Hobart's Altar Bar on Friday 11 December and Melbourne's Smith St Hotel on Saturday 12 December, bringing things to a close in Sydney at Heaps Normal Health Club on Thursday 17 December.

Tickets go on sale at 10am AEST on Friday 16 October via adamnewling.com.
