PJ Harvey’s career has always commanded attention. A multi-instrumentalist, she is primarily a vocalist, guitarist and pianist, and in March 2025 she will play shows across Australia during her first tour here in eight years.
Beginning at Perth Festival on March 4, Harvey will then play Womadelaide and Golden Plains, before shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

The live show - with her band comprised of John Parish, James Johnston, Jean-Marc Butty and Giovanni Ferrario - received near faultless 5-star reviews in late 2023 across the UK and Europe, and then again across a string of 2024 European summer festival headline performances.
It incorporates the Grammy-nominated tenth studio album ‘I Inside the Old Year Dying’ (co-produced by John Parish and Flood), as well as songs from Harvey’s extensive back-catalogue.
To develop the live show, Harvey worked with the Theatre Director Ian Rickson, Set Designer Rae Smith, Lighting Designers Paule Constable and Louisa Smurthwaite, and Fashion Designer Todd Lynn.
Supporting Harvey in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane will be guitarist and founding member of Dirty Three, Mick Turner, playing rare solo performances.
PJ Harvey’s accolades include an MBE for services to music and an Honorary Degree in Music at Goldsmiths. She is the only artist to have been awarded the Mercury Music Prize twice, in 2001 for Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea, and 2011 for Let England Shake, alongside eight Brit Award nominations, eight Grammy Award nominations and two further Mercury Prize nominations.
Musicians she has collaborated with include Thom Yorke, Nick Cave, Tricky, Sparklehorse, Josh Homme, John Parish, Pascal Comelade, Gordon Gano, Ramy Essam and Mark Lanegan.
Harvey has authored two books of poetry, The Hollow of the Hand and Orlam. She has also worked extensively as a composer in theatre, film and television.
