Less than a day after wrapping up her SOLD-OUT 'Fingertips Tour' at Newtown Social Club in Sydney, Vera Blue has today announced she will be embarking on a new National Tour which will see the rising artist perform in Capital Cities and Regional areas beginning August 31st through to October 8th.

Vera Blue's second headline tour will see her returning to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth to play bigger rooms, and venturing to Adelaide, Tasmania, Darwin and other key regional areas for the first time, as well as her debut festival appearance at the Maroochy Music Festival in Maroochydore.

The tour announcement coincides with Vera Blue releasing the third single and title track from her debut EP Fingertips. The song examines infidelity, "Fingertips is quite heavy, but it's really honest as well," Vera Blue says. "It's about social media and unfaithfulness, and what that can do to people. It's written from the perspective of the person who was doing the wrong."
