Dean Lewis will be heading home for his headline A Place We Knew tour this May. He'll be hitting all the major Australian cities with his band, and since shows sold out last time, fans should get in quick!

Alongside the tour announcement comes the news that his highly anticipated debut album, APWK, will be released worldwide!

For Lewis A Place We Knew tells the bittersweet story of memories past, relationships gone, and feelings felt, “All the songs were written through relationships I’d been in and houses I used to live in and hotel rooms.” 7 Minutes is one such example; the certified GOLD single was written in an Uber after a disagreement with a girl.

The disagreement took the single to the top spot on TMN Hottest 100 AIrplay Charts for two solid weeks. 7 Minutes isn't the only beloved track, Be Alright and Waves both went certified platinum more than once or twice... or four times.

Lewis sought out several producers to collaborate with on his new album. The British team behind Waves and Be Alright, Edd Holloway and Nick Atkinson are ever-present and so too is Melbourne’s John Castle (‘Don’t Hold Me’ and ‘Chemicals’) and Dann Hume (‘Time to Go’ and title-track ‘A Place We Knew’). Sydney-based producer Dylan Nash, whom Lewis refers to as “almost like the co-producer for the whole album”, ties a thread between the 12 songs that were written and recorded all over the world giving A Place We Knew its cohesive sound.

From the uplifting Hold Of Me and the celebratory Stay Awake, to his rawest and most vulnerable tracks Don’t Hold Me and Half A Man, Dean’s debut album demonstrates a far greater breadth and depth to his songwriting than ever heard before. In addition to writing every song on the album, Dean triumphantly plays piano, acoustic and electric guitar on A Place We Knew.

Dean Lewis is currently playing his first North American headline tour with shows sold out from Los Angeles to New York City. He will return to Australia in May for his A Place We Knew National Tour.
