Feist announces 2017 tour dates for Australia.
Five years on from touring Australasia on the Laneway Festival circuit, Feist will return to Australia this November/December to play shows in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney (at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall!).
Tickets go on sale to all shows from 9am on Friday, August 11th.
"Five years on from her last Australian visit, Feist returns with a full band in tow and a brand new album under her belt. Pleasure, Feist’s fifth studio record and first in six years, reflects on secrets and shame, loneliness and tenderness, care and fatigue and is at it’s core a study on self-awareness.
Pleasure builds off the warm naturalism of the Polaris Prize-winning Metals and emerges as Feist’s most formally defiant and expansive work so far. And while each album marks a departure from the next, Pleasure finds Feist again showing the extraordinary depth of her artistry.
Feist’s towering live performances have gained her worldwide acclaim, with the musician swinging between whispers and wails, from luminous ballads to the unhinged guitars also heard in her work with Broken Social Scene.
Possessing a nomadic, ever-evolving spirit with echoes of Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and fellow Canadian Leonard Cohen, Feist’s recent six year sabbatical saw her side-step any pop traps set by the immense success of The Reminder and Metals, the latter of which debuted at No.9 on the Billboard Chart and was named Album of the Year by The New York Times.
To date, Feist’s music has sold over 3 million units worldwide and amassed more than 500 million streams. She’s also appeared on Saturday Night Live, sold out the Hollywood Bowl, and boasts the second-most-watched video in Sesame Street history.
She’s been described as “an artist yet to disappoint” by tastemaker Consequence Of Sound, and on her November-December dates will draw from five timeless albums to mesmerise Australian audiences."
