After wowing a crowd at Adelaide Oval, an international pop sensation is coming back to South Australia.

Tones and I previously told The Advertiser that she penned it “while I lived in my van on the street, playing music on the street with a broken keyboard for my friends that lived at a hostel with me”.

Dance Monkey is one of eight songs in the “three billion streams club”, the others being recorded by male artists from North America and the UK, ­including The Weeknd for Blinding Lights and Ed Sheeran for Shape of You.

“I’m pumped to get back to Radelaide to be a part of the LIV Golf Adelaide 2024 festivities at The Grange Golf Club!,” Tones and I said.

News that Tones and I is performing Friday night, completes the LIV Golf Adelaide entertainment bill.

South Australia Minister for Tourism Zoe Bettison said the line-up was “a hole-in-one for South Australia’s tourism industry”. “We know crowds are coming from more than 20 countries, so I look forward to the second edition of LIV Golf Adelaide building on the $64.9m it pumped into our state’s economy in its inaugural year,” she said.
