In concert, Courtney Barnett and her band are well-versed in laying down hugely energetic performances, but that s not happened since January.
Courtney Barnett s performance inside the Royal Exhibition Building was her first show since January.
Following a brief overseas solo tour in early 2020, Barnett – like the rest of us – retreated to her home and then focused instead on writing new songs among the day-to-day experience of lockdown in Melbourne.
After the successful performances from homegrown artists based overseas, including Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue, Driift is thrilled to announce that the first Australian produced premium Livestream will be coming to you from the UNESCO World Heritage Listed Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne, with none other than Courtney Barnett.
Setting the tone as the first of the Australian-produced events, Courtney Barnett will perform a global Livestream on Thursday 17th December, available across multiple time zones for audiences around the world, as well as some very special screenings at select cinemas, including Luna Leederville, across Australia on the same day. The performance is the first full-band show she will have performed since the sold-out Corner Hotel bushfire fundraising gigs in early January.
