Flume’s U.S. Tour, in support of his new album “Palaces”, has just swept through the East Coast with a run of shows including stops in Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and at Governor’s Ball in New York, N.Y. before it will head to the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia in the Fall of 2022.

As a 30-year old Australian music producer and DJ, Flume is no stranger to putting on a good show. After coming off a massive Coachella performance, his music selection for the set poured energy throughout the sold-out crowd at Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh, NC. Opening support was provided by Tinashe & Jim-E Stack.
Flume, also known as Harley Streten, has grown his success in the non-traditional “experimental” electronic music scene.
While his songs might not have the typical build up followed with a “drop” commonly found in house and bass electronic dance music, his unique style, and use of synth’s, and off count drum beats provide fans with a unique live electronic music experience.
His tour stage closely resembled his Coachella setup most notably with two tables on the left and right that held a wide array of music equipment, synths, and DJ controllers.

Behind the tables stood a giant white fabric archway that served as a background for live projection visuals allowing lights to cut through the back creating abstract colors and scenes.
The archway seemed to change and expand throughout the set which made his stage dynamic throughout the show.
Flume’s set included a variety of his catalogue including songs off his new album, Palaces, which just released in May of 2022. Palaces is Streten’s third studio album and most exciting attempt at his experimental style of electronic music.
The best part of the show had to be when MAY-A (Maya Cumming), a 20-year old Australian singer-songwriter, came out and performed live alongside Flume.
Her elegant vocals on “Say Nothing” were enchanting in addition to “Never Be Like You”, originally sang by Kai creating a beautiful addition to the show.
Flume didn’t leave fans short by playing a multi-song encore including “On Top” off his self-titled 2012 album and finishing the night off with his smashing Lorde remix of “Tennis Courts”.
