Grace Petrie

Australia/New Zealand Tour - Sept/Oct 2024

One of Britain’s foremost political folk songwriters, Grace Petrie, is set to take Australian stages by storm in September and October 2024.

Described by The New Yorker as “an effervescent charm-bomb of a performer” and the USA’s Huffington Post as “a millennial’s Billy Bragg,” Petrie’s Australian tour will be more than just a series of concerts; it's a rallying cry for change, an opportunity for collective experience, and a celebration of the power of folk music to speak to, and for, the people.

Lauded by critics and fans alike, Petrie's ninth studio album ‘Build Something Better’, released in March 2024, was a passionate return to form. Described as her most articulate and poignant album to date, it is heralded for its blend of personal and political themes that strike at the heart of current societal issues. Critics have been quick to praise the album, with musicOMH highlighting it as a "soundtrack for better times to come" and Full Pelt Music acclaiming it as the latest statement from an artist of “unparalleled natural talent”.

After battling the limitations of the COVID-19 lockdowns, Petrie re-emerged on the music scene with a rejuvenated passion and drive. Her most recent tours across the UK, Canada, and New Zealand have captivated audiences with the raw energy and urgent social commentary of her performances.

Reviews

"She's the urgent, pulsing, compassionate talent this world desperately needs."

The Observer

"She writes the sort of songs you want to pin the lyrics of on your bedroom wall, or on the office door, to remind you and everyone else who might read them what is important and true."
