As Meg Washington continues to bask in the overwhelming positive reception of August’s GEM album, the acclaimed singer-songwriter has announced an extensive run of national tour dates.
Dubbed the Natural Beauty Tour in honour of her latest single lifted from GEM, the 23-date tour will keep Washington on the road from February until May of 2026, with dates scheduled in every state and territory save for Tasmania and the Northern Territory.
The upcoming tour will see Washington offering up unforgettable shows in a number of beautiful and remote locations – living up to the tour’s name in the process.
Picking tracks from her five-album catalogue, each night is to be a unique one, with the setlists chosen according to the special, connected moment that is shared between artist and audience.
“I grew up singing in jazz clubs, so these intimate solo shows feel so right to me,” Washington explains. “I love to improvise, and these shows are the perfect chance.”

“Natural Beauty is the song at the heart of GEM,” she adds of her latest single. “It took a long time to write. It’s the only piano song on the album and is written as a sort of list of various complaints I have about being an artist inside a capitalistic world.
“I never imagined I would use ‘superannuation’ as a lyric, but the songs always find a way to startle me.”
Tickets to Washington’s upcoming tour are on sale from 11am AEDT on Tuesday, November 18th.
