Secret Sounds and triple j have today announced that award-winning British singer and songwriter Holly Humberstone will make her highly anticipated return in 2027 after a successful run of shows across Australia last year. The upcoming tour, her biggest Australian shows to date, follows the release of Humberstone’s critically acclaimed second album Cruel World, which debuted at No.4 on the UK Albums Chart and has since amassed more than 83 million streams. Establishing herself as one of the most distinctive British singer-songwriters of her generation, Cruel World is a richly detailed exploration of love, longing and self-discovery, tracing the fine line between pain and pleasure. Through razor-sharp lyricism and expansive, cinematic production, Holly maps the emotional terrain of modern relationships with remarkable honesty and precision.
Joining her is the uber-talented Holly Hebe, who was warmly embraced by audiences during her shows with Humberstone this time last year.
The tour will kick off on Thursday 4 February at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre before making its way to Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on Monday 8 February, Forum Melbourne on Wednesday 10 February, then wrapping up in Perth at Astor Theatre on Friday 12 February.

ABOUT HOLLY HUMBERSTONE
Holly Humberstone has emerged as one of the UK’s most distinctive alternative-pop voices, known for her deeply personal songwriting, atmospheric production and vivid story telling. Her breakthrough EP Falling Asleep At The Wheel launched her from her family home in Grantham onto the world stage, followed by The Wallas Are Way Too Thin and her critically acclaimed debut album Paint My Bedroom Black. In 2022, Humberstone was named the BRIT Rising Star, further cementing her status as one of Britains most exciting emerging artists.
Her latest album, Cruel World, marks a new chapter, exploring love, identity, adulthood and a changing sense of home. Sonically, the record blends nostalgia with body, festival-ready alternative pop and was written with Humberstone’s live band and audiences firmly in mind. Having performed at Coachella, Glastonbury and Lollapalooza, supported Sam Fender at St. James’ Park UK and Australia, and joined Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium, Humberstone continues to grow into an increasingly assured live performer and songwriter.
ABOUT HOLLY HEBE
Holly Hebe is quickly stepping out from being one of Melbourne’s best-kept secrets to a breakthrough artist in Australian music. A singer, songwriter, and producer, Holly blends piano-driven melodies and poetic lyricism into celestial, dreamy pop that nods to Clairo, Mallrat, and Oklou. Her sound, shaped by a rural seaside upbringing, carries an organic edge through inventive sampling and distinctive processing.
Alongside her previous shows with Humberstone, Holly Hebe can also claim sold-out headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne, headlining Starburst with Esha Tewari, Lyric, and Aleksiah, performing 14 national shows with The Rions, as well as NYE on the Hill, Beyond the Valley 2024, the 2025 Australian Open, and headlining Franjafest 2. She has toured with The Bel Air Lip Bombs, Eves Karydas, and Jem Cassar-Daley, and has supported The Dreggs on a six-show national tour.
