Following new announcements that she'll perform at the 2019 Sydney Festival and Mona Foma, Swedish legend Neneh Cherry has today locked in some headline shows around the country. 

As well as the dates in Sydney and Launceston, the revered songwriter will take to the stage for concerts in Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane next January. 

The tour comes in support of Cherry's new album, Broken Politics.


"I'm very shy about taking on big themes with the airs that I've got a solution—who has the fucking solutions?" Cherry said of the new record. 

"I like writing from a personal perspective, and the time we live in is so much about finding your own voice. People have been left feeling misheard, misunderstood, and disillusioned. What the fuck can I do?

"Maybe politics starts in your bedroom, or your house—a form of activism, and a responsibility. The album is about all of those things: feeling broken, disappointed, and sad, but having perseverance. It's a fight against the extinction of free thought and spirit."
