Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey release a new single Blackstar today, a bonus song from their highly acclaimed debut album ‘The Deluge’ out now.

Talking about the song, Fanning said, “Blackstar went through a full cycle of styles before arriving fully formed, as a minimalist pop rock tune. Sometimes when putting an album together you can deceive yourself into adding more ‘stuff’ to a song to make it sound different. Often, leaving that ‘stuff’ out is the key to making it work…just let the song be itself, as written, and step away from it. I think we only did a couple of takes of this one.”

‘The Deluge’ debuted at #3 on the ARIA Album Chart, #1 on the Vinyl Chart and was the Double J Feature Album.

Fanning Dempsey National Park recently captured global attention with their incredible performance for ABC TV’s NYE24 broadcast concert, set against the iconic Sydney Harbour backdrop to help welcome in the new year for an audience of millions.

Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey have also announced today that they will be taking their much-lauded musical collaboration, Fanning Dempsey National Park, on tour to regional Australia in April and May following their sell-out tour across Australia’s capital cities in 2024.

Following a Byron Bay show for Great Southern Nights on April 3, ‘The Deluge’ Regional Tour will kick off in Cairns on May 1, with stops in Hobart, Ballarat, Geelong, Bendigo, Newcastle, Thirroul, Canberra, Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast, before finishing on the Gold Coast on May 24.

Bringing their electrifying debut album ‘The Deluge’ to life on stage, the setlist will deliver surprises for fans with additions from their collective songbooks and record collections.
