Beck: 2023 Acoustic Australian Tour

Overview

He won't have two turntables with him, but he will be getting behind a microphone — 90s icon Beck, that is, for his run of 2023 Australian shows. The 'Loser', 'Where It's At', 'Devil's Haircut' and 'Sexx Laws' singer is getting acoustic in Sydney on Thursday, April 6, alongside his equally guitar-led appearance at this year's Bluesfest.

Beck makes his latest appearance Down Under almost three decades after 'Loser' brought him to fame, and got lodged in every 90s teen's head for the entire decade (and ever since). He has a hefty list of material to draw upon, though, thanks to 14 records since his 1993 debut album Golden Feelings, including 1996's acclaimed Odelay and 1998's Midnite Vultures.

Beck was a later addition to the festival's lineup that also features The Doobie Brothers, Elvis Costello, Mavis Staples, Bonnie Raitt and Gang of Youths. But, if you're not heading up to Byron for the fest, you can catch the acclaimed artist at the ICC's Darling Harbour Theatre. What a way to kick off your long weekend.

In support is multi-hyphenated local legend Robert Foster, who you may — and should — know from his time spent as the co-founder of The Go-Betweens, plus his solo work and books.
