Chugg Entertainment, Frontier Touring, Penny Drop and Village Sounds are thrilled to announce the live return of 4x ARIA winner and Grammy and Brit Award nominee Courtney Barnett, performing her first headline shows in three years. The critically acclaimed Melbourne artist will bring her fierce live band and universally adored millennial wit to audiences in Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane in March 2022.

Barnett will perform three headline shows in March 2022 – Perth’s Astor Theatre on Thursday 10 March, The Forum in Melbourne on Thursday 17 March, and Brisbane’s The Tivoli on Saturday 26 March – with a Sydney show to be announced shortly.

Fans signed up to Courtney Barnett’s mailing list, as well as Penny Drop Members, can access the Artist & Promoter Pre-sale which starts Thursday 11 November (9am local time) and runs for 24 hours (or until allocation sold out). Tickets will then go on sale to the General Public on Friday 12 November (10am local time). 

On the same day tickets go on sale, Barnett will release her exciting new chapter – third album Things Take Time, Take Time, a remarkable artistic step forward featuring contributions from indie luminaries Stella Mozgawa, Cate Le Bon, and Vagabon. Led by first single ‘Rae Street’ and now ‘If I Don’t Hear From You Tonight’, the new album sees Barnett operating at the peak of her powers, consolidating her reputation as a storyteller of intimate, poignant Australian tales.

In the hands of Courtney Barnett, fragments of everyday life become rich and riveting. A deft lyricist and virtuosic guitarist, she is one of Australia’s most successful musical exports. 

Across two albums to date (2015 debut Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit and 2018’s Tell Me How You Really Feel), a collaborative LP with Kurt Vile (2017’s Lotta Sea Lice), and two EPs, Barnett has earned countless accolades and fans across the globe. Tracks such as ‘Pedestrian At Best’, ‘Nameless, Faceless’, ‘Need A Little Time’, ‘Before You Gotta Go’, the indie smash ‘Avant Gardener’ and more are utterly unique, while her powerhouse live performances have seen her perform at festivals such as Coachella, Bonnaroo, Splendour In The Grass, Governor’s Ball, Primavera, Falls Festival, and Lollapalooza. 

Barnett will be joined at all dates by Wergaia / Wemba Wemba songwriter and artist Alice Skye. It’s been a huge year for the Naarm-based singer, who released her hugely anticipated sophomore album I Feel Better But I Don’t Feel Good back in July. Charming, driven and emotionally astute, Alice is one of Australia’s brightest and most prolific lyricists.

One of the most crucial voices of our time, don’t miss your chance to catch Courtney Barnett, live on stage, touring March 2022.
