It’s been a big month for TEN TONNES. The 22-year-old achieved a lifetime ambition by releasing his self-titled debut album which won a widespread collection of positive reviews.

And that trend now continues with news of his autumn European headline tour, with a fresh round of bigger shows including Electric Brixton on October 10th.
