Ethel Cain Announces 2026 Australia, New Zealand Tour

Ethel Cain, the Florida-born singer-songwriter known for her Southern Gothic aesthetic, is set to return to Australia and New Zealand in February 2026 for her Willoughby Tucker Forever Tour, following a sold-out global tour. The tour will feature five shows across major cities including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Fremantle, and Auckland, with tickets going on presale August 13 and general sale August 18. Cain’s latest album, Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You, released in August 2024, serves as a prequel to her acclaimed 2022 debut Preacher’s Daughter and has received high praise from critics including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Her previous Australian tour in 2023 was successful despite a health scare during a Sydney Opera House show. Ethel Cain's music blends folk, slowcore, ambient, and Americana influences with deeply personal and cinematic narratives, making her a compelling voice in contemporary music. This upcoming tour offers fans a rare opportunity to experience Cain’s evocative new work live in Australasia.
