The track comes with a new music video and a tour announcement, seeing Skegss hit the road for the So Far From Spaceman Tour from Friday 14 June to play at Torquay Hotel, with Frankston and Ballarat the same weekend, before the boys venture into Queensland and New South Wales to complete a lucky 13 show run.

Out now via Loma Vista Recordings, ‘Spaceman’ is a pandemic product, partnered with an extra-terrestrial music video that chronicles Skegss otherworldly encounters.
“Made this song during the pandemic and it’s had a couple of versions, but happy we kept trying new things with this one and where we got it to,” explains Reed.
“It’s funny how far we are from outer space, sleeping is hard sometimes but thinking about outer space is harder.”
The track is sure to slide into their live shows alongside their 2021 album Rehearsal, which garnered them claims like triple j Feature Album Of The Week, debuted at #1 on Australia’s ARIA Charts, and marked their fifth consecutive year charting on triple j’s Hottest 100 chart with lead single ‘Valhalla’. A great addition to their So Far From Spaceman tour, as is their special guests including Good Sniff for the Victorian shows and Carla Geneve in New South Wales and Queensland.
Tickets for the tour are on sale now and can be purchased here. Give ‘Spaceman’ a whirl here.
