Kurt Vile Announces 2023 Australian Headline Tour

Philadelphia’s cherub-faced guitar wizard Kurt Vile has announced a 2023 Australian tour. He returns to the country along with his band The Violators in March and April in support of his latest album, (watch my moves). Vile was recently in Australia to play Adelaide’s Harvest Rock Festival and, while he was here, joined his former collaborator Courtney Barnett to perform ‘Over Everything’ during Barnett’s support slot for the Nick Cave and Warren Ellis show at Hanging Rock.

UPDATE 13/12/22: More shows added – in Melbourne and Castlemaine – to Kurt Vile & The Violators’ 2023 Australian tour. Details below.

Vile was recently announced for Victoria’s Meadow music festival, which we wrote about here. He’s now confirmed headline shows in Sydney, Brisbane, Fremantle and Canberra, but has yet to announce a show in Melbourne. This seems like a tease however, given his enormous popularity in the southern city where in 2019 he sold out both the Forum and the Croxton.

Vile’s ninth album, (watch my moves), came out in April 2022 and features guest appearances from Cate Le BonChastity Belt, Stella Mozgawa (Courtney Barnett, Warpaint) and jazz giant James Stewart of the Sun Ra Arkestra.
