The artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known As will be touring Australia this May.

The run of dates come just a few months after Big Day Out promoter Ken West revealed he was close to booking the pop artist for the 2012 edition of the festival. Much of the time since has seen speculators trying to pin down exactly when he would return. 


Few predicted it would be in just a couple of weeks.

Fri 11 May
Allphones Arena
Sydney


Mon 14 May
