London singer and songwriter Eloise will return to Australia in October 2026 for her first Australian shows in three years, opening the international touring cycle for her second album, My Man & Me. The five-date run will take Eloise to Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, with the Western Australian performance marking her first visit to the city.
The Australian dates follow the release of My Man & Me through BMG and will give local audiences their first opportunity to hear the album performed live. The tour begins at Sydney’s Factory Theatre on October 21 and concludes at The Rechabite in Perth on October 27.
Eloise has described My Man & Me as a record concerned with the complications of romantic relationships, moving between heartbreak, longing and the exhilaration of being in love. The album was created with longtime collaborator Slim Gabriel and draws on jazz instrumentation alongside Eloise’s husky, soulful vocal style.
The record’s central theme is the absence of simple answers in relationships. “I found myself writing a lot about how there’s no right or wrong way to love someone,” Eloise says. “There’s nuance to it, because nothing in love is ever black and white.”
That idea informs songs including You Will Remain and Resisting Your Love, while Why Can’t You Love Me takes a more cinematic approach, conceived by Eloise as a playful audition for a James Bond theme. Other tracks move into R&B territory, including For You, while Love Don’t Grow and How Lucky explore different emotional points within the same relationship narrative.
The material has also been shaped with live performance in mind. Eloise’s songs can move from elaborate arrangements to performances built around only her voice and guitar, creating a different dynamic between the recorded material and the stage.
My Man & Me follows a career that began with Eloise posting acoustic performances online as a teenager. Her 2017 rendition of Bruno Major’s Second Time attracted Major’s attention and led to an invitation to perform with him. She subsequently toured the United States with Major and later joined Sam Smith’s arena tour as part of Major’s band, contributing keyboards and backing vocals.
Her early musical development also included a contribution to the soundtrack of the 2012 film Broken. Eloise had originally been pursuing acting and appeared in the film, but singing on the production shifted her focus towards music.
In 2019, Eloise released her debut EP, This Thing Called Living. The project established her as a songwriter with a distinctive blend of jazz, R&B and contemporary singer-songwriter influences. She followed it with the 2021 mini-album Somewhere In-Between, which was written and composed entirely by Eloise and produced by Bruno Major.
Somewhere In-Between included Hungover, Intertwined and Who’s She, with the latter reflecting on the disorientation of returning home after a relationship had ended. The release was followed by headline touring in the UK, Europe and North America, as well as support dates with London Grammar.
My Man & Me represents the next stage of that progression, moving Eloise further from the intimate acoustic recordings that first introduced her to listeners while retaining the emphasis on voice, songwriting and emotional detail that has defined her catalogue.
The Australian tour also forms the first part of a wider international schedule. Following the October dates, Eloise is set to continue through the UK, Europe and North America with headline performances extending through the end of 2026.
