Rice will bring his captivating live show to audiences in Adelaide, Melbourne, Bendigo, Canberra, Thirroul, Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane before heading over to New Zealand for performances in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

Known for his hauntingly beautiful live shows, Damien Rice has the ability to transform the biggest of rooms into the most intimate spaces. Often performing with no setlist, Rice has built an incredible connection with fans that continues to evolve with each live performance.

With the release of his debut album O in 2002, the Dublin-born singer was thrust into the spotlight, landing a Top 10 spot on the UK Album Chart, plus three Top 30 UK singles and a Shortlist Music Prize. He released his follow up album, 9, in 2006 featuring hit single ‘9 Crimes’. 2014 saw the release of his third and latest studio album, My Favourite Faded Fantasy, with fans eagerly awaiting new music from the multi-platinum singer.

Damien Rice fans can prepare for an evening of powerful and masterful performances, when he makes a highly anticipated visit to New Zealand in February 2025.
