Liz Stringer Plots National Tour In Support Of Homeless & Struggling Australians

Liz Stringer is embarking on a national tour in support of Wombat Housing Support Services from October to December.

Stringer’s 17-date To Survive tour follows the release of her latest album, The Second High, released earlier this year through Dot Dash Recordings. Teaming up with Wombat Housing Support Services, Stringer won’t just showcase new music; she’ll also raise awareness for the housing crisis affecting people across the country.

Fans will have the opportunity to donate their chosen amount to a local community support organisation using QR codes at each show. Stringer will also donate personally, with the tour addressing the singular aim of “Under one roof to support those with none.”

The tour begins in Alice Springs on 31 October and continues in Katherine, Darwin, Perth, Adelaide, Flinders, Anglesea, Melbourne, Castlemaine, Brisbane, Brunswick Heads, Bowraville, Newcastle, Sydney, Beechworth, and wraps in Meeniyan on 13 December. Tickets are available now via Liz Stringer’s website.

In 2021, Stringer played a show at Melbourne’s Thornbury Theatre and successfully raised funds for Wombat Housing Support Services. She has since continued to raise awareness about Australians facing housing instability and homelessness, including on The Second High.

One of the tracks on Stringer’s latest album, To Survive, documents the real-life story of an inspirational staff member at Wombat Housing Support Services who finds a way to get by on Melbourne’s streets, drawing strength and resilience from the local community.

“As an artist who's toured all corners of Australia for many years now, the growing wealth disparity and impact of the housing crisis in this country has never been more obvious to me,” Stringer explained in a statement.

She added, “Housing is a human right and yet, because of years of policy decisions and a lack of forward thinking, an increasing number of Australians are either already homeless or experiencing chronic housing insecurity.

“It's never sat right with me that a country as rich as Australia should allow a section of constituents to live so precariously while others become more and more wealthy. I'm helping to facilitate my audience to support their communities, in the hope that it further shines a bright light on the issues facing vulnerable Australians everywhere.

“Homelessness and housing stress can impact anyone at any time, and I feel that I have a social responsibility to communities, who have been so good to me over the years, to provide support for those people where I can.”
