It’s been 25 years since Alex Lloyd released his critically acclaimed sophomore album Watching Angels Mend. To commemorate the occasions, the Sydney singer-songwriter has announced a massive Australian tour.
Released in 2021, the record peaked at #2 on the ARIA Albums Chart and produced a remarkable run of singles, with ‘Amazing’, ‘Green’, and ‘Everybody’s Laughing’ all reaching the Australian Top 40. ‘Amazing’ was, in particular, a huge hit for Lloyd, with the single coming in at #1 on the triple j Hottest 100 of 2001.
Having planned to tour the album for its 20th anniversary in 2021, the COVID lockdown threw Lloyd’s plans into chaos, with the singer marking the album’s 25th anniversary with a deserved tour.
Lloyd’s tour hits six states and territories from June to December, touching down in Adelaide for a special show at The Gov on Sunday 25 October.
