Georgia Knight is cramming a full band into The Croxton’s front bar on 3 November, and tickets are going quickly.
The show celebrates Georgia Knight’s place on the 2026 Australian Music Prize shortlist, where her debut album Beanpole sits alongside records by Courtney Barnett, Genesis Owusu, Julia Jacklin and Baker Boy.
Beanpole came out in October 2025. Most of it was written on autoharp, the boxy, button-chorded zither better known in folk circles, and the Naarm songwriter drags it into dark pop territory with trip-hop beats and heavy synth layers stacked underneath. On 3 November the band will be playing those songs in a room built for pints and conversation.

Catching her with the whole band in a space this small doesn’t happen much anymore. She’s spent 2026 on far bigger stages, playing Golden Plains and WOMADelaide and opening for Welsh songwriter Cate Le Bon at Melbourne Town Hall. Television and radio came calling as well, with live spots on Spicks and Specks and Derick Gee’s Radio Hour. Her Golden Plains run through Mingle is up online for anyone who missed it.
Knight’s profile jumped after the local release of her 2023 EP, Hell on Bent Street. That record put her on bills at Dark Mofo and Rising, plus Camp A Low Hum across the Tasman, and she’s since shared stages with Blonde Redhead, Mogwai, Angie McMahon and Maple Glider.
Her songs started out much closer to folk before drifting somewhere stranger, picking up noise, dusty loops and samples along the way. Earlier this year she released a video for Desire, made with a small crew that included New Zealand singer Marlon Williams.
GIGI opens the night, and with doors at 6.30pm this one gets going early. Ticket numbers are strictly limited, and The Croxton is selling them directly.
