Having just released a new album, Cope, earlier this month with his full-blown band project Freeland, UK producer extraordinaire Adam Freeland has fully embraced his new life as part of a band.

But when ITM got Freeland on the phone to talk about his new album, we couldn’t help but press the production whiz for details on when he’d be touring Australia next. Our persistence paid off as Freeland revealed to us that he’ll be back in Australia in January. “We’re still working out logistics, but it looks like we’ll come down in January for one of the big festivals,” Freeland teased.

A big festival in January? Sounds to us like it could well be Big Day Out! And the appearance of Freeland would be a premium slot on any stage at the summer festival. Needless to say we’re excited, as Freeland’s last visit to these shores over the ‘08/’09 summer still rings fondly in our memories. Let the mouth-frothing begin!

Freeland’s Cope is out now through Marine Parade and Inertia. Stay tuned to ITM for more festival info as we get it, and the full interview with Adam Freeland very soon!
