Harvey’s tour will take in shows at the MONA FOMA Festival in Hobart, Tasmania, two shows at the Sydney Festival as well as headline shows in Melbourne and Perth.

PJ Harvey

Her eighth studio album won her the Mercury Music Prize for the second time (the first being for ‘Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea‘ in 2001) and has been lauded by fans and critics as one of the world’s musical highlights for 2011, and is without question one of the most powerful, yet strangely beautiful albums of all time.

Miss this tour at your own peril!

PJ has been to Australia twice for the Big Day Out tour (2001 & 2003), but those hoping to see her at next year’s event will probably miss out as this tour is presented by Frontier Touring, rather than Big Day Out chiefs Lees & West. She was last in the country in 2008.

Check her out at:

JANUARY

13 – Concert Hall, Perth, WA
15 – Regent Theatre, Melbourne, VIC
18 – State Theatre, Sydney, NSW (Sydney Festival)
19 – State Theatre, Sydney, NSW (Sydney Festival)
21 – Princes Wharf One, Hobart, TAS (MONA FOMA)

Tickets are on sale from 9am, Monday, 17th October.

There really is a riot going on right now, so what a poignant moment it seems to be to lose a hero I never met, yet a man I often imagined as my soul brother. I worked with many of his alumni (including the man who helped invent him, fellow San Fran disk jockey Tom Donahue), and to say they and he inspired me would be a useless understatement.
