Overview
Leon Bridges brings The Happiness Anytime Tour to Brisbane
Get ready for an evening of joyful sounds, infectious grooves and timeless R&B at On the Banks.
Leon Bridges first captivated audiences with his platinum-certified, GRAMMY-nominated debut Coming Home, delivering timeless favourites including “River” and “Coming Home”. Since then, he’s continued to evolve his sound across critically acclaimed albums Good Thing, Gold-Diggers Sound and Leon, as well as his celebrated collaborations with Khruangbin.
Now, Bridges enters a new era with Happiness Anytime, a vibrant new album produced by Jungle’s J Lloyd and Lydia Kitto. Blending R&B, disco and global rhythms with his unmistakably warm voice, the album is built for movement, joy and long summer nights.
Bridges brings this energy to the stage with a reimagined live production featuring a vinyl DJ, horn section, three backing vocalists and Bridges himself back out front dancing once again.
Joining Bridges is 54 Ultra, the New Jersey-based artist weaving synthy indie rock and garage pop with a Latin heartbeat into his own distinctive sound. His debut EP, First Works, was named by Billboard as one of the Best Projects of the Year (So Far).
