PJ Harvey is pleased to announce a tour of Australia in March 2025, performing for the first time in this region since 2017.
The much lauded and awarded songwriter and multi-instrumentalist will perform her critically acclaimed show, that attracted near faultless 5 star reviews across the UK & European summer, with her band, comprised of John Parish, James Johnston, Jean-Marc Butty and Giovanni Ferrario. It incorporates the Grammy-nominated tenth studio album I Inside the Old Year Dying (co-produced by John Parish and Flood), as well as songs from Harvey’s extensive back-catalogue. To develop the live show, Harvey worked with the Theatre Director Ian Rickson, Set Designer Rae Smith, Lighting Designers Paule Constable and Louisa Smurthwaite, and Fashion Designer Todd Lynn.
PJ Harvey’s accolades include an MBE for services to music and an Honorary Degree in Music at Goldsmiths. She is the only artist to have been awarded the Mercury Music Prize twice, in 2001 for Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea, and 2011 for Let England Shake, alongside eight Brit Award nominations, eight Grammy Award nominations and two further Mercury Prize nominations. Musicians she has collaborated with include Thom Yorke, Nick Cave, Tricky, Sparklehorse, Josh Homme, John Parish, Pascal Comelade, Gordon Gano, Ramy Essam and Mark Lanegan. She has authored two books of poetry, The Hollow of the Hand and Orlam. She has also worked extensively as a composer in theatre, film and television.
