James Marriott
Tickets on sale 12pm Friday 24 October.
In less than three years, Marriott has evolved from uploading self-written acoustic songs online to becoming one of the UK’s most talked-about and charismatic indie-pop acts. His 2023 self-released debut album Are We There Yet? reached #17 on the UK Albums Chart; its follow-up, Don’t Tell The Dog, exceeded that success, debuting at #1 in both the UK and Scottish charts upon its June release.
Today’s Australian tour news follows a whirlwind year so far. Currently on the road in the US, Marriott has already fuelled over 40,000 live tickets sold in 2025, thanks to his sharp wit, restless creativity and unflinching honesty. His upcoming UK and European dates in November and December saw venues rapidly upgraded to meet fans’ demand for tickets, Marriott set to perform multiple sold-out dates in cities such as Bristol, Dublin, Brighton, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Prague, Barcelona, Amsterdam and more this spring, before wrapping up his run with two huge nights at London’s iconic The Roundhouse.
