He played an Instagram livestream during March, and appeared as part of online performance series Delivered, Live’s ninth instalment in May. L-Fresh The Lion and This Way North also performed as part of that edition.
Josh Pyke plans to tour Australia in support of his album during October. He will play shows in most capital cities as well as in Ballarat. There is no word yet on whether state border closures will affect Pyke’s plans to tour.
