The singer’s Melbourne performance is presented in partnership with ALWAYS LIVE, a state-wide celebration of contemporary live music supported by the Victorian Government through Visit Victoria.
Caroline Polachek is a singularity: one of music’s most continually inventive pop auteurs – a shimmering ribbon of a voice that’s immediately recognisable, a self-releasing independent artist, a crate digger, and a lifelong headphone listener who writes songs that literally fill stadiums.
In long-awaited news for fans, promoters are thrilled today to announce the acclaimed US songwriter, singer and producer is headed our way – Polachek bringing her The Spiraling Tour to Forum Melbourne this December. The tour news comes off the back of Polachek’s acclaimed latest album, Desire, I Want To Turn Into You.
If 2019’s Pang was an ephemeral, crystalline document of risking everything for new love, Desire… is Polachek at her most physical, turning up the temperature and trading tight narrative for visceral tone-poetry. The first taste of Desire…came in the form of cult hit single Bunny Is A Rider, which premiered as Annie Mac‘s Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1 and gained universal praise from the likes of The New York Times, The Guardian, The Fader, NME, and was named Best Song of 201 by Pitchfork. It was followed by the dazzling Billions, the Spanish-themed Sunset, Welcome To My Island, and latest offering Smoke, all further proof Polachek is one of the most fascinating artists in the new generation of pop disruptors.
In 2022 she supported Dua Lipa on her US arena tour, and followed up in 2023 with a global headlining tour – selling out venues like Radio City Music Hall in New York, The Greek Theatre in LA, and Hammersmith Apollo in London. She has also appeared at seemingly every prominent music festival in the world including Coachella, Glastonbury (two years in a row), Fuji Rock, Lollapalooza, Oya, and many more.
Triumphant and abundantly creative, don’t miss the incredible Caroline Polachek when she arrives in Australia to perform this December! Tickets on sale Thursday.
