King Stingray Announces Split with Lead Vocalist Ahead of Tour

Stepping into the role is Ngalakan Wanambi, who has already performed with King Stingray on their recent U.S. tour.

King Stingray has announced the departure of lead vocalist Yirrŋa Yunupiŋu just as the band prepares to embark on their massive For The Dreams national tour. Formed in Yirrkala, a remote community in Arnhem Land, King Stingray quickly made a name for themselves with their blend of Yolŋu rock, seamlessly fusing Indigenous sounds with surf-rock and alternative influences. The band has since been at the forefront of Australia ’s contemporary music scene, winning critical acclaim and multiple awards, including an ARIA for Best Independent Release.
