Angus & Julia Stone are kicking off a world tour in Australia, and Melbourne’s second show has sold out.
Angus & Julia Stone are the brother-sister duo behind more than three billion streams, and after almost two decades of making music together they’re still filling theatres and festival stages around the world.
The five-time ARIA Award winners wrote and recorded Karaoke Bar across Greece, France and Australia, and it’s out now through Virgin. The lead single is The Cherry Farm, and the record follows a stretch of travel and creative experimenting, with each location leaving its mark on the songs.
Angus & Julia Stone have also announced The Highway Karaoke Roadhouse, a covers project that came out of chats with fans during the Karaoke Bar campaign.
The first release is Apologize, a cover of the huge OneRepublic and Timbaland hit, and it’s now on Spotify. More covers could follow.
For fans at home, the tour is a chance to hear the new material live before anyone else in the world does. The Australian dates also open the duo’s latest world tour.

The run follows their 2024 album Cape Forestier, which led to a sold-out international tour that took Angus & Julia Stone to London’s Royal Albert Hall, Paris’ L’Olympia and New York’s Town Hall.
Their story goes back to 2007 and the debut A Book Like This. Since then they’ve released Down The Way, which won an ARIA and gave us Big Jet Plane, a triple j Hottest 100 winner, along with their 2014 self-titled album and 2017’s Snow.
The duo are known for tight vocal harmonies and for playing everything from festival stages to small theatres. This time the Australian leg covers five cities and six shows. It starts in Adelaide on 13 February, then moves to Brisbane on 20 February.
Melbourne scores two nights at The Forum, on 25 and 26 February, though the 26 February show has already sold out.
After that it’s the Sydney Opera House Forecourt on 28 February, before the tour wraps in Perth at Kings Park and Botanic Garden on 5 March.
