Magnetic California-via-Seattle singer-songwriter Banks, brings her Off With Her Head Tour to Australia this November!
The tour comes hot on the heels of BANKS’s latest studio album, Off With Her Head – released in February 2025 and described by the artist as “the most joy that she’s ever had on an album” (NME). Featuring guest appearances from the likes of Sampha and Doechii, the album marks a creative high point for the multi-talented singer and producer, who kicks off a 14-date North American leg next month followed by seven shows across Europe and the UK in October.
Emerging in the early 2010s, BANKS – aka Jillian Rose Banks – quickly set herself apart with a dark, emotionally charged blend of alternative pop and R&B. Her 2014 debut Goddess hit #17 on the ARIA Album Chart and was hailed as one of the year’s most captivating releases, thanks to standout tracks like ‘Drowning’, ‘Waiting Game’ and ‘Begging For Thread’ and collaborations with Justin Parker, Shlohmo, and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.
In 2016, BANKS released her highly anticipated sophomore album, The Altar, which peaked at number 17 on the Billboard 200. BANKS returned in July 2019 with her third studio album, III, which featured her synth-heavy single ‘Gimme’. She released a short EP entitled Live and Stripped in 2020, followed by her 2022 album Serpentina, which BANKS recorded amid the pandemic during months of isolation and is tied to themes of shedding old skin and embracing the new. Last year, she revisited her seminal debut with the Goddess: Unplugged release.
Five albums into her career, BANKS’s artistry stands out through the rawness and vulnerability that shines earnestly through her music.
Don’t miss Banks live this November – raw, electrifying and unforgettable.
