Aldous Harding is coming to Australia.
The Aotearoa singer-songwriter will cross the ditch to play shows in Melbourne, Hobart, Sydney, and Brisbane this November (see full dates below).
Tickets to the Australian tour go on sale to the general public on Thursday, May 7th at 11am local time. The Frontier Member pre-sale begins on Wednesday, May 6th at 10am local time.
Harding’s Australian tour announcement follows news of her Aotearoa tour yesterday.
Harding is touring in support of new album Train on the Island, out this week (May 8th) via Flying Nun Records and 4AD.
The 10-track collection was co-produced by the Aotearoa musician’s longtime collaborator John Parish (PJ Harvey, Dry Cleaning) at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales, where the pair previously recorded Harding’s albums Party (2017), Designer (2019), and Warm Chris (2022).
Train on the Island will be released digitally, and on CD, red vinyl gatefold, exclusive ‘Flying Nun Black’ vinyl gatefold, and exclusive ‘Holiday Records Copper’ vinyl gatefold (limited to 50 copies).

Before she comes home, Harding will play across the UK and Europe between May and August, supported at select shows by fellow acclaimed Aotearoa artist and Flying Nun labelmate Vera Ellen, before travelling to the US for a run of dates in September and October.
Harding made two major Rolling Stone AU/NZ lists last year.
“Like her peers Jessica Pratt and Julia Jacklin, the singer-songwriter possesses the rare ability to imbue even the most innocuous of lines with profundity.”
Aldous Harding’s Train on the Island is out May 8th via Flying Nun Records and 4AD (pre-save/pre-order here).
