Event Type: Just Announced

Acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Fanny Lumsden returns with her first new music since 2023’s ARIA, AIR and Golden Guitar Award-winning album, Hey Dawn, unveiling an unexpected and totally glorious new single courtesy of her version of Gotye’s global hit, Somebody That I Used To Know, (featuring Kimbra).

Growing up on a sheep farm in western New South Wales, Australia all the way to Glastonbury UK via hundreds of Country Halls throughout regional Australia, 2x ARIA and 9x Golden Guitar, 3x AIR award winning artist Fanny Lumsden’s journey has been a unique one. Having “established herself as one of the one of the genre’s most esteemed performers” (The Australian) and with her fourth album HEY DAWN having taken the 2023 ARIA for Best Country Album, the CMAA Golden Guitar for Alt-Country Album of the Year and 2024 Country Album of the year at the AIR Awards, Fanny is a force to be reckoned with. Debuting at #1 on the Australian Album ARIA charts, it was the 4th highest selling country album of 2023 and her second album in a row to crack the ARIA Albums Chart top 10 (main chart). Fanny is continuing to break the rules and confirm herself as “undoubtedly the brightest new (country) star of the current era” (Capital News).

Following her “breakthrough” album Fallow which took ARIA and AIR Country Album Awards plus five CMAA Golden Guitars, Fanny is recognised for her regional Country Halls Tour and has taken her joyous, energetic, and brilliant live show to debut in the UK, playing to a packed Avalon Stage at Glastonbury in 2023. She has followed up with two hugely successful tours, including a self-produced and promoted sold out Country Halls Tour run in Scotland.  Her Hey Dawn tour sold out shows through NZ, Ireland, UK and theatres across Australia, and “confirms Fanny as a distinctive storyteller, and an indelible personality who can win over fans in or outside of country music” (Doug Wallan, The Australian).
