James Blake Announces Trying Times Tour Coming to Australia This December
Today, British GRAMMY and Mercury Prize-winning producer, songwriter and musician James Blake announces his return to Australia for the first time since 2019, performing headline shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this December.
Presented by Secret Sounds and Double J, the tour will venture to Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Tuesday 1 December, On The Steps at Sydney Opera House Forecourt on Wednesday 2 December and Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena on Saturday 5 December.
The tour arrives off the back of Blake’s 2026 self-released album Trying Times – his highest charting album to date – a masterful display of his rich artistry and ability to articulate emotion with disarming transparency, tracing the uneasy space between intimacy and isolation in an age of instability.
