Australian East Coast Co-Headline Tour About this Event
The dreamiest of dream teams Elizabeth and Alice Skye join forces to announce an Australian East-Coast Co-Headline Tour throughout June and July. After a year of solitude and isolation Elizabeth and Alice, along with their bands, are ready to traverse the country, embrace the stage and stir up the biggest, best and most cathartic feelings amongst the crowd.
While their 2020 plans to tour were put on hold, including an album launch tour for Elizabeth, and a slot at SXSW for Alice, the pair did not sit idly by. Last year was a big one for both Elizabeth and Alice, the former releasing a deluxe edition of her debut album The Wonderful World of Nature, and the latter three searing singles from her own soon to be released debut.
Alice Skye is a Wergaia/Wemba Wemba person living and writing music in Naarm (Melbourne). Since her first album Friends with Feelings she has signed with Bad Apples, the Indigenous-driven label that celebrates and priorities blak excellence. Alice s upcoming sophomore album I Feel Better but I Don t Feel Good was produced by local artist Jen Cloher. Her work continues to look inwards and explores finding staunchness in softness.
