Courtney Barnett adds rising Arnhem Land project Drifting Clouds to the Brisbane and Melbourne dates of her Australian 'Creature of Habit' tour this November. Led by Yolngu singer, songwriter and keyboardist Terry Guyula, Drifting Clouds combine contemporary electronic textures with Yolngu Songlines, creating synth-infused pop rooted in language, culture and place.
The support announcement follows a breakout period that has included the singles 'Bawuypawuy' and 'Rarrandharr', sold-out headline shows and a collaboration with Emma Donovan. Barnett returns home after an extended international run and a much-discussed Newport Folk Festival appearance, bringing songs from her fifth album to Australian audiences for the first time. Pairing one of the country's most established independent songwriters with one of its most distinctive emerging acts is inspired programming. Audiences arriving late to skip the support act have officially been warned. Discover more indie rock tour news on our platform.
