Julie Byrne: Australian Tour 2024

Overview

US singer-songwriter Julie Byrne is returning to Australian shores for a run of east coast dates in 2024. The acclaimed folk musician is currently touring behind the release of her devastating new album The Greater Wings, a record which reckons with the passing of Byrne's longtime creative partner Eric Littmann.

You can expect an intimate journey through the songs of The Greater Wings and Byrne's back catalogue at a pair of Victorian shows. Firstly, she'll be hitting Melbourne's Darebin Arts Centre on Wednesday, January 24 with support from Melbourne's own Lee Hannah. Then, on Friday, January 25, Byrne will be travelling out to Castlemaine for an intimate regional show at the Theatre Royal.

If you want to inject some beautifully gentle, intensely personal music into your summer, this is your opportunity. Byrne will be bringing her kaleidoscopic folk to Brisbane for her first trip Down Under since her 2018 tour with Mount Eerie — a must-see for anyone whose Spotify Wrapped was filled with plenty of sad-girl indie.

If you want to secure your spot, tickets for the Melbourne show are available via the Arts Centre's website for $30–50, while passes to the Castlemaine show are on sale for $56.65 via Oztix.
