This year he will perform more than 160 shows across 15 countries, with festival performances scheduled for India and Europe including Glastonbury Festival and WOMAD in the UK.
Hoad said he was looking forward to taking the stage in Wanneroo.
“The locals have always been so supportive of the show in this region and I have had some really memorable shows here on past Australian Tours,” he said.
“I absolutely love WA and I’ve got a few days of downtime so looking forward to checking out some of the countryside, which is definitely going to juice me with good vibes to take around Australia and Europe.
“I’m very excited about this year’s tour with so many cool locations and festivals on the various legs and I’m really excited to bring the new tunes and instruments to the fans around the world.
“The skateboard guitar made by my good friend Craig Koen has been stealing the show at the festivals around the world, people just can’t believe the sound that comes out of this thing.”
