Laufey adds new Melbourne & Sydney shows to her Bewitched: The Goddess Tour this September
24 Apr 2024Responding to unprecedented demand, and after completely exhausting fan presale allocations earlier today, Laufey has added two new Melbourne shows, and an extra night in Sydney to her Bewitched: The Goddess Australian Tour this September.
The Grammy Award winner will now play three nights at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on Friday 6, Saturday 7 and Monday 9 September, before heading through Brisbane’s QPAC Concert Hall on Wednesday 11 September. She will take on the iconic Sydney Opera House Concert Hall on Friday 13 September, closing with a second and final Sydney show at the ICC Sydney Theatre on Saturday 14 September.
Presale tickets for all new shows will go on sale today at 2pm local time.
Tickets for all shows go on sale to the general public on Friday 26 April at 10am local time. Tickets and tour information via frontiertouring.com/laufey.“She is a musical tour de force” – Los Angeles Times
“Laufey epitomises a charming new era in contemporary pop” – NME
“Thanks to her confident and dreamy voice and social media savvy, she’s now crossing into the mainstream as one of the biggest jazz stars of the streaming era” – Billboard
A composer, singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Laufey has catapulted onto the global stage in a few short years. Her ability to curate warm nostalgia saw multiple tracks go viral on social media, with the singer’s soul-soothing vocals becoming instantly recognisable.
Well and truly coming into her own as a performer since the release of her debut album Everything I Know About Love in 2022, Laufey aims to bring jazz and classical music to her generation in avenues not previously explored by the genre. Her third album Bewitched, released last September, represents an expansion of Laufey’s sonic palette, earning her a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. The instant success of the project sparked an immediately sold-out tour and set a record for the biggest debut week by a Jazz album on Spotify, as well as reaching No.1 on Billboard’s Jazz Chart. Today, she has 2 billion streams across all platforms and is the biggest streaming artist from Iceland in the world.
Due to release Bewitched: The Goddess Edition this Friday, the extended album will feature four new tracks – including lead single ‘Goddess’. Released earlier this month, the track is accompanied by a short film directed by Academy Award-nominated, Golden Globe-nominated and Spirit Award-winning director Celine Song (Past Lives), and stars Laufey alongside Will Gao (Netflix’s ‘Heartstopper’ and Wasia Project). Watch the video HERE.
A phenomenal live act, Laufey takes her Bewitched: The Goddess Tour across the US and Asia before landing down under for six anticipated shows this September.
Laufey’s Bewitched: The Goddess Edition is out 26th April through AWAL. Pre-save the Deluxe album HERE.
