Nick Murphy

The Australian billion-streaming artist deepens the emotional arc of his upcoming album with a reflective new release and confirms a major North American tour.

Chet Faker will return to Australian stages in March 2026, announcing two headline shows in Brisbane and Sydney timed to coincide with the release of his new album A Love For Strangers. The performances form part of a broader global tour that signals a significant new chapter for one of Australia's most internationally recognised contemporary artists.

Chet Faker has released his new single Can You Swim?, a poignant preview of his forthcoming album A Love For Strangers, scheduled for release on 13 February 2026 through BMG.

Nick Murphy, better known to many as Chet Faker, has announced a new studio album, A Love For Strangers, due February 13, 2026 on BMG, and has released a buoyant lead single, This Time For Real, to whet appetites. The single arrives with a playful, kinetic video that follows Murphy as Chet Faker tearing through New York City by jet ski, sports car and pedicab, a jaunty visual that matches the song's anthemic, self-aware charm.

Live Nation has unveiled the complete line-up for the 2025 On The Steps concert series, set to light up the Sydney Opera House Forecourt from 2-15 December.

Remember 2014? Flume was everywhere, people still used Facebook events, and Chet Faker’s Built on Glass was basically unavoidable. A decade later, the bearded crooner is dusting off the record that made him a household name and playing it front-to-back on the Sydney Opera House steps, December 2.

Nick Murphy, best known to the world as Chet Faker, has returned with a brand-new single, Inefficient Love, released today through BMG. The track follows Far Side of the Moon and sees one of Australia’s most distinctive songwriters once again baring his soul.
