Electronic soul-pop duo Honne will return to Australia in March 2025 for shows in Sydney and Melbourne, promoting their fourth studio album Ouch.
The London-based pair, Andy Clutterbuck and James Hatcher, have amassed more than three billion streams and sold over 210,000 concert tickets since their early recording sessions in East London. Their latest album, released in September through their independent label Smile More Recordings, marks a more personal direction for the band.
Clutterbuck describes Ouch as “the most personal and delicate album we’ve created. It’s inward, outward, forward and backward looking and documents my wonderful and daunting journey into parenthood and how that has re-shaped me as a person.”
Australian tour dates:
- Roundhouse, Sydney – Wednesday 19 March
- Forum, Melbourne – Thursday 20 March

The duo, whose name means “true feelings” in Japanese, have previously collaborated with artists including Pink Sweats, Griff, Niki, and Khalid on their 2021 album Let’s Just Say The World Ended A Week From Now, What Would You Do?
Fader has praised the band’s “delicate bubble of funk,” while BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders called them “absolute connoisseurs” of alternative pop.
The tour announcement follows the band’s shift towards independence, with Ouch being the first release on their own label, showcasing what the band describes as a stripped-back approach that emphasises raw emotion over production gloss.
Tickets are available from 10am local Thursday 19 December via secretsounds.com.
