\n\tDon\u2019t even bother trying to pigeonhole Ecca Vandal. The genre-bending independent artist unleashes an energy on stage that could secure a place on the periodic table. It\u2019s a creative flurry of punches fusing hip-hop with punk, jazz, electronic and a rebel\u2019s intensity. Rock with guts and glory.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn April, a performance at Coachella, her first-ever performance at a major U.S. festival. Others have followed, including Lollapalooza. Then, in May, a\u00a0U.S. TV debut with a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/em>, where Ecca Vandal and her band ripped through \u201cCruising to Self Soothe,\u201d lifted from that sophomore collection.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt was trippy,\u201d she says of her time on Kimmel. <\/em>\u201cStill can\u2019t really believe it but grateful for the opportunity and nice for \u2018Cruising\u2019 to have a moment like that.\u201d Vandal gives a shout out to her live drummer Dan (Maio) and bass player\/producer Richie (Buxton) \u201cfor always holding it down, being on this journey with me, and giving me the confidence to sing and scream my heart out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe current summer run has \u201cbeen a beautiful type of chaos,\u201d and has included support spots with Deftones, Limp Bizkit, and slots at\u00a0Roskilde, Rock am Ring and Pinkpop. \u201cThe energy is insane,\u201d she tells Billboard<\/em>. \u201cSwear I have mind blowing moments everyday, trying new foods, finding new clothes. Just wish I could explore everywhere for longer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBased in Melbourne, Australia, and born in South Africa of Sri Lankan heritage, Ecca Vandal dropped her self-titled debut in 2017. With her long-percolating followup LP, plaudits came from Zane Lowe, and Spotify\u2019s international editorial team, which anointed her as one of the streaming giant\u2019s Artists To Watch 2026. Australia\u2019s Triple J locked-in LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO UNFOLLOW<\/em> as its feature album of the week.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe journey continues with a run of festivals across the United Kingdom and Europe. Headline dates kick off Sept. 3 in Milan, Italy, then the show heads to the United States and Canada for a month from late September. A national tour of Australia follows in November.<\/p>\n

\n\tHow should audiences prepare for the Ecca Vandal experience? \u201cAside from the flashing lights,\u201d she quips, \u201cI\u2019d say come as you are and be prepared to lose yourself for a little while. I\u2019ll be bringing all my energy so bring yours too. I love when a show feels like a little world that only exists for us for that hour, with everyone just collectively losing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
