British singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone was already heading to Australia later this year to open for Sam Fender, but today, she’s announced her own headline dates.
Starting at Melbourne’s Max Watts on Thursday, 13 November, the tour continues at Brisbane’s The Triffid on Tuesday, 18 November, and Sydney’s Factory Theatre on Sunday, 23 November.
Tomorrow (15 August) at 11 am local time, fans can access the artist and Secret Sounds pre-sale, which will be available until Monday, 18 August, at 10 am local time (or until allocation is exhausted). The general sale opens on Monday, 18 August, at 10 am local time via the Secret Sounds website.
On social media, Humberstone said she’s looking forward to playing some headline dates in Australia as she continues working on her new album.
“During my time in Aus supporting @samfendermusic I’m gonna be playing some intimate headline shows for u guys too,” she wrote. “I’ve been dying to play shows again so the thought of November is seriously keeping me going whilst we finish the album 🙂↔️ Can’t wait to see some of u there!”

Sam Fender and Holly Humberstone previously worked on an acoustic version of the former’s hit, Seventeen Going Under, and Humberstone last toured Australia in 2024.
Fender’s Australian tour begins at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Friday, 14 and Saturday, 15 November, followed by Brisbane’s Riverstage on Wednesday, 19 November, Sydney’s Showring—located in the Entertainment Quarter—on Friday, 21 November, Adelaide’s AEC Arena on Tuesday, 25 November, and ends at Perth’s Kings Park & Botanic Garden on Friday, 28 November.
Holly Humberstone released her debut album, Paint My Bedroom Black, in 2023. With tracks including Antichrist, Room Service, Superbloodmoon (featuring d4vd), and the stunning title track, she quickly made a name for herself as one of the UK’s most in-demand new singer-songwriters.
In 2024, Humberstone dropped the Work In Progress EP, and with a new album on the way, Australian audiences might just get a taste of what’s to come.
