'The Voice' Winner Karise Eden Reveals Extensive Aus Tour Amid Health Battle

Karise Eden, who you may know best as the first-ever winner of The Voice Australia in 2012, has announced an extensive national tour for this winter and revealed a longtime health battle.

The 20-date tour will see Eden perform in venues across New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania from May through to August.

Eden’s 2024 Winter Tour follows a brief hiatus in which she had to undergo essential surgery. For 18 months, Eden faced challenges on the road following a work-related injury that resulted in developing carpal tunnel syndrome.

Eden has shared updates about her recovery on social media, including a “picture of pure torture” of her hand wrapped up back and unable to complete basic tasks in March, and in a now-deleted Instagram reel, detailed the “tears of relief” when she picked up her guitar for the first time after surgery last month.

Post-surgery, Eden is prepared to emerge as her strongest self, promising a show of original compositions and a highly anticipated new single.

The expansive tour begins on Thursday, 30 May, in Woolgoolga. Eden (and an accompanying guitarist on 17 shows) will also perform in Mullumbimby, Maclean, the Cronulla Jazz & Blues Festival, Bathurst, Bowral, Mordialloc, Belgrave, Bairnsdale, Heatherton, Yarraville, St Kilda, Birregurra, Ballarat Blues Festival, Hobart, Devonport, Launceston, Hahndorf, Goolwa South, and Clare.

Tickets to Eden’s Winter Tour are on sale now. Learn more about the ticketing information for your date here, and find her tour dates below.

Following her The Voice Australia win, Eden’s album My Journey shot to the top of the ARIA Albums Chart, and she’s since released three other albums – Things I’ve Done in 2014, Born To Fight in 2018, and Into The Black in 2022.

Eden is now a mother of two, and she continues to record in her home studio and hits the road with her trusty guitar.
