Kate Miller-Heidke is preparing to travel around Australia in her most extensive tour since 2009. The shows will see Kate playing tracks from her most recent album Nightflight as well as everyone’s old favourites.
Music lovers in the capital cities are in for a real treat as Kate will play churches and cathedrals as part of the Heavenly Sounds initiative. These intimate venues lend themselves to stripped back performances, so it’s exciting to hear Kate’s ditching a full band for shows with her long-time collaborator Keir Nuttall.
“I’m very much looking forward to being a part of Heavenly Sounds. It’s such a beautiful concept,” said Kate. “I haven’t sung in a church since high school, but they do tend to have very gorgeous voice-friendly acoustics.”
Fans in the regional centres aren’t missing out too much though. The venues aren’t quite as cool, but they’re still small and intimate. Kate is also visiting many towns she hasn’t played in for years.
“Of course I love playing in the capital cities, but there is something very special about the audiences in regional areas. It has been more than three years since my last big regional tour, so this one is long overdue,” Kate said. “These fans are hugely important to me, and I can’t wait to see them!”
