Gotye, the Belgian-born, Australian-based brain behind the impossibly catchy “Somebody That I Used to Know,” has announced his summer tour, and it includes a stop in Brew City. The tour is chock full of amphitheaters, pavilions and centers, but Gotye will play a more intimate show at the Riverside on August 25.
Although Gotye had experienced success in Australia, it wasn’t until his most recent album, Making Mirrors, was released January that the international scene began to take note. The single “Somebody That I used to Know” was performed on the late-night circuit and even covered by contestants on The Voice and American Idol. (It’s certainly a staple in the Mil Mag office.)
Missy Higgins and Jonti will open the show at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. June 8 (Reserved seating tickets are $49.50 and $59.50).
