Frontier Touring are excited to welcome Grammy Award-winning Icelandic-Chinese artist Laufey back to Australia for a series of East Coast headline shows this September.

Bringing her Bewitched: The Goddess Tour down under, Laufey will head to the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on Friday 6 September and Brisbane’s QPAC Concert Hall on Wednesday 11 September. Laufey will wrap up her tour with a debut performance at the iconic Sydney Opera House Concert Hall on Friday 13 September.

A composer, singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Laufey has catapulted onto the global stage in a few short years. Releasing her debut album Everything I Know About Love in 2022, fans quickly fell in love with Laufey. Her ability to curate warm nostalgia saw multiple tracks go viral on social media, with the singer’s soul-soothing vocals becoming instantly recognisable.

2023 was Laufey’s most ground-breaking year yet, releasing her third album Bewitched in September. Inspired by jazz greats and classical masters while possessing a point of view that can only be conveyed by a 21st century twenty-something, Bewitched represents an expansion of Laufey’s sonic palette. Her musical growth and risk-taking earned her a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, with the instant success of the project sparking an immediately sold-out tour and setting a record for the biggest debut week by a Jazz album on Spotify, as well as reaching No.1 on Billboard’s Jazz Chart. Today, she has 2 billion streams across all platforms and is the biggest streaming artist from Iceland in the world.

Driven by a strong desire to connect with her fans, Laufey’s A Very Laufey Day Live from LA saw the artist play a pop up show to an adoring audience to celebrate the release of Bewitched last year. She performed a stunning rendition of her song ‘From The Start’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this year, and closer to home, made an appearance in triple j’s Hottest 200 as ‘From The Start’ landed at No.121.

“Thanks to her confident and dreamy voice and social media savvy, she’s now crossing into the mainstream as one of the biggest jazz stars of the streaming era” – Billboard

“Laufey’s ascendency to major-league pop artist is one of the most heartening musical phenomena of the last couple of years.” – Variety

Well and truly coming into her own as a performer, writer and instrumentalist, Laufey aims to bring jazz and classical music to her generation in avenues not previously explored by the genre. Due to release Bewitched: The Goddess Edition later this month, the extended album will feature four new tracks – including lead single ‘Goddess’. Accompanied by a short filmdirected by Academy Award-nominated, Golden Globe-nominated and Spirit Award-winning director Celine Song (Past Lives), the video was released last week, starring Laufey alongside Will Gao (Netflix’s ‘Heartstopper’ and Wasia Project), and was shot in Brooklyn, NY on 35mm film. Watch the video HERE.

Currently touring the Bewitched album across multiple sold-out dates in the US and Asia, Laufey is a phenomenal live act. An exceptional talent, known best for her ability to command a crowd, Laufey is changing the way her generation engages with classical music, combining modern love with the nostalgic sounds of 50’s jazz.

Selling out all shows on last year’s debut Australian visit, and adding additional dates to satisfy demand, Laufey’s global popularity is bigger than ever! Returning this time with a Grammy-winning album and plenty of new songs, don’t miss these incredible live shows as Laufey takes to the stage across the country this September.

Laufey’s Bewitched: The Goddess Edition is out 26th April through AWAL. Pre-save the Deluxe album HERE.
