Chelsea Wolfe & Emma Ruth Rundle reschedule Australia & New Zealand tour for 2021
CelebratedUS gothic-rock/folk/doom-metal luminary CHELSEA WOLFE has announced her Australia& New Zealand tour will be rescheduled for 2021.
Originally planned for June this year, the current restrictions ontravel and social distancing due to COVID-19 have made it necessary toreschedule all show dates for June 2021. All current tickets will be valid forthe new dates & refunds will be available from ticketing outlets for thenext month for those who can’t attend, or are no longer sure of theiravailability at this stage.
With the initial Melbourne show already sold out, a second show has alsonow been made available for fans who missed out.
Wolfe will tour with her four-piece band, as well as bringing alongSargent House labelmate EMMA RUTH RUNDLEperforming solo as support for all shows.
The rescheduled dates for June 2021 will see both artists play theirfirst ever New Zealand shows in Wellington & Auckland, before continuing onto Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney & Melbourne.
Chelsea Wolfe will perform a career-spanning set on this tour, includingsongs from her new album “Birth ofViolence” released last September.
Chelsea Wolfe last played in Australia in 2016 for Tasmania’s Dark Mofoevent, with her last full national tour back in 2012.
In the meantime, she has continued to earn a cult following worldwide,propelling her previous albums ‘HissSpun’ (2017) & ‘Abyss’ (2015)onto the Billboard 200 albums chart and further critical acclaim.
From Roskilde Festival to selling out club tours, Chelsea Wolfe’sversatility as a performer and songwriter is on full display at her viscerallive performances, whether solo or with her band.
2020 marks 10 years since her debut ‘TheGrime and The Glow’ was released, sparking a career that has influenced andinspired fans across continents to appreciate life in both its darkness andlight.
‘Birth of Violence’ was written andrecorded in solitude at home in Northern California. Following the broodingheaviness of ‘Hiss Spun’, Wolfe choseto return to her folk roots. These songs describe ‘an internal awakening of feminine energy, a connection to the maternalspirit of the Earth and a defiant stance against the destructive andcontrolling forces of a greedy and hostile patriarchy.’
Openingtrack ‘The Mother Road’ quicklyestablishes this sound: simultaneously unnerving and soothing. Whilst critical reviewshave been positive, it’s perhaps the feedback from her fans that best describesthe power and allure of Chelsea Wolfe in its simplest form:
‘After the doomy heaviness of Hiss Spun,another acoustic record – she seriously can nail it in any style’
‘Her heavier, doomy records got me into hermusic, but her acoustic material is completely entrancing.’
‘I cannot believe I am lucky enough to bealive in a time where Chelsea Wolfe exists’
Chelsea Wolfe will be joined at all shows onthis tour by singer songwriter EMMA RUTH RUNDLE. Revered for herpowerful and evocative songwriting as much as her artistic flair andversatility, she was also invited to curate this year’s Roadburn Festival (alsorecently postponed due to coronavirus restrictions). In addition to her workwith renowned groups RED SPAROWES, MARRIAGES & THE NOCTURNES, Emma hasreleased five solo records, most recently 2018’s ‘On Dark Horses.’ Her passionate live performances are renowned asmuch as her songcraft and Australian & Kiwi fans will finally get toexperience her live performances for the first time ever this June.
