Steve Lacy — best known as the guitarist of space-soul band THE INTERNET – announces his highly-anticipated solo headline tour this fall, culminating in a very special show at The Wiltern in Lacy’s hometown of Los Angeles this October. The tour follows on the massive critical success of his debut album Apollo XXI which was released on 3qtr via AWAL earlier this year.

One of the most eagerly awaited debuts of the last couple years, Apollo XXI instantly won acclaim from critics with The Fader calling it “one of the most anticipated releases of this year” and The Guardian describing it as “a casually confident kaleidoscope.” Lacy has also recently been featured on the cover of i-D’s ‘Voice of a Generation Issue,’ Crack Magazine, GQ Korea and Document Journal.
At the ripe age of 21, the Grammy-nominated Compton native already has a veteran’s resume; he was Wired Magazine’s Tech Visionary, Time Magazine’s Most Influential Teen, produced-written-featured with Solange, J Cole, Vampire Weekend, Blood Orange, and produced some of Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN on his iphone. He’s also toured the world 3x with his bandmates THE INTERNET, given a TED Talk, worked extensively with Gucci and Louis Vuitton on behalf of Virgil Abloh (including walking at the LV Paris Fashion Week show) and has now eschewed all major label offers to release his first album on his terms.
