GUESTS:
UBOA
This event is strictly 18+
Three years after her sold out tour of Oceania, the Queen of Darkness will bring her visceral, vivid live performance back to Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland & Wellington.
She will tour with her four-piece band, as well as bringing along experimental Australian artist UBOA performing as support for all shows outside Perth.
Chelsea Wolfe will perform a career-spanning set on this tour, including songs from her new album “She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She” which was released in February.
Chelsea Wolfe’s latest album is a rebirth in process. It’s a powerfully cathartic statement about cutting ties, as well as an important reminder that healing is cyclical and circular, and not a simple linear process. Featuring elements of electronica, trip hop, industrial music and goth rock, it has been hailed as one of her finest works, with Clash proclaiming it her “most ambitious and carefully-constructed” and Kerrang suggesting it “may be the most creatively adventurous of her career.”
The record has been followed by two EPs containing reimaginings of the songs:
The ‘Undone’ EP was released in August 2024, containing remixes by Ash Koosha, Full of Hell, Boy Harsher, Justin K Broadrick, Forest Swords and Crosses.
The ‘Unbound’ EP was announced in October, containing acoustic versions of four tracks from the album, as well as a cover of ‘Cellar Door’ by Spiritbox.
Chelsea Wolfe last performed in Australia in 2022 for Tasmania’s Dark Mofo, along with a full national tour, her first in a decade.
Her return in 2025 will mark 15 years since her debut ‘The Grime and The Glow’ was released, sparking a career that has influenced and inspired a dedicated cult following worldwide to appreciate life in both its darkness and light.
