The tour accompanies the release of his new single, 'Something Going On' off his critically acclaimed second album Every Orchid Offering. Easily a standout track with its haunting refrain, Keoghan's latest single is a wry narrative about a long distance relationship, supported by Cure-esk guitar, impeccable bass playing and soft beds of vocal harmonies.

Praise for 'Every Orchid Offering'
'If anything, it reminds me of David Bowie’s similarly genreless or the work of Kirin J Callinan, but possessed by an exquisite chamber-pop grace befitting Grizzly Bear or Dirty Projectors'. – Stereogum
'A forward-thinking, intelligent, left-field pop album' – The Listener
'An audacious and fascinating musical kaleidoscope' – That Music Mag
'Admirably uncompromising. It will pay large dividends over many listens' – Elsewhere
