Four-time Grammy award winner Gary Clark Jr has announced his return to Australia after a six-year absence, with three exclusive headline shows scheduled for April 2025.

The Austin, Texas guitarist and songwriter Gary Clark Jr will perform at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on 14 April, Adelaide’s Hindley Street Music Hall on 15 April, and Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on 17 April. The tour coincides with his headline appearance at the final edition of Byron Bay’s Bluesfest.

Clark’s latest album, JPEG RAW, released through Warner Records, follows his critically acclaimed 2019 record This Land, which debuted at No 6 on the Billboard 200 chart. This Land earned him three Grammy awards, including best rock performance and best rock song for the title track, and best contemporary blues album.
