In addition his headline shows, Lacy will also appear at the Spilt Milk festival as one of its headliners, serving as a replacement for Stormzy after the latter’s appearance was cancelled.
‘Bad Habit’, the second single from ‘Gemini Rights’, has become a hit for Lacey since its release, landing him his first number one the Billboard Hot 100 and coming in at number three on the ARIA Singles Chart here in Australia.
In a four-star review of ‘Gemini Rights’, NME described is as “a more polished and assured work than his debut”, 2019’s ‘Apollo XXI’.
“While his solo music and work with The Internet have infiltrated the mainstream in more discreet ways, ‘Gemini Rights’… will make the ‘cult artist’ tag surrounding Lacy increasingly redundant,” it read.
