Ethel Cain Unveils Tour Dates for Australia and New Zealand
Ethel Cain is set to bring her highly anticipated ‘Willoughby Tucker Forever’ tour to Australia and New Zealand in 2026, supplementing her already sold-out global tour.
Kicking off at Auckland Town Hall on February 14th, the tour will make stops at several iconic venues: Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on February 16th and 17th, Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on February 21st, Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on February 25th, and conclude at Fremantle Arts Centre on February 28th.
Tour Details and Ticket Information
For fans eager to attend, Frontier Member pre-sale begins Wednesday, August 13th at 11 AM local time. General ticket sales will open on Monday, August 18th.
The tour follows the release of Cain’s new album, Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You, which has received critical acclaim from major outlets such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. This album acts as a prequel to her 2022 debut, Preacher’s Daughter, detailing her first love, Willoughby Tucker, in a tale described as a “humid, laden romance.”
Insights from Ethel Cain
Cain shared, “I produced and recorded the album over the past year in my studios located in Daleville, Alabama, Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, and Tallahassee, Florida. Some of the songs date back to the very beginning of the Ethel Cain project.”
The artist’s North American and European tour legs saw the swift sale of all 170,000 tickets, solidifying her growing reputation. She is slated to headline major venues, including New York’s Radio City Music Hall and Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium.
Hailing from Florida, the multi-talented artist, whose real name is Hayden Anhedönia, gained prominence with her 2021 EP Inbred—recorded in a small Indiana church basement. Her debut album Preacher’s Daughter established her as a captivating new voice in music, leading to collaborations with notable figures such as Florence + the Machine and Mitski.
Upcoming Performance Schedule
Ethel Cain’s last performance in Australia was in mid-2023 during the Vivid LIVE in Sydney and Hobart’s Dark Mofo festivals.
