Formed in Birmingham in 2011, it was St. Paul & The Broken Bones' sophomore album Sea of Noise that saw them break through. Critically acclaimed, the album remains the band's highest-charting release on the US Billboard 200.

They've since released four more albums, including last year's self-titled album, which was recorded at the legendary FAME Studios and produced by Eg White (Adele, Celine Dion).

Throughout their career, St. Paul & The Broken Bones have shared stages with The Rolling Stones, Lizzo and Black Pumas and delivered show‑stopping performances at Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo, with Australian and New Zealand audiences in for a treat when they touch down next year.
