Seven-time Grammy Award winner Jacob Collier has announced an Australian leg for his world tour.
Collier will return to Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane from December 9th-13th, promising songs from his ambitious four-part album series, Djesse.
“I’m so excited to bring this iteration of the tour to Australia,” says Collier. “The sound of the audience choirs I conducted during the shows in these cities back in 2022 deeply influenced the sound of Djesse Vol. 4, so to return and celebrate this record with you feels like a homecoming of sorts!”
Across his career, Collier has collaborated with a wide range of musical heavyweights such as Coldplay, SZA, Hans Zimmer, and Stormzy, breaking down a number of genre boundaries and adding to his musical repertoire.
He told Rolling Stone that working with other artists helps him connect more with music.
“I think the biggest kick I can get is the feeling of being a human and making a connection with other humans,” he said. “It’s something I think that music does really, really well, but it’s much bigger than music as well.”
The tour announcement comes after two sold-out shows at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival this past weekend. He will continue a short trip of Australia this week, including a masterclass session with students at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music on Friday.
