Macy Gray Announces Her Biggest Australian Tour Yet

Macy Gray is returning to Australia for her most expansive tour of the region to date, announcing 21 dates across metropolitan and regional cities this spring.

The Encore Tour — Back by Popular Demand kicks off at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall on Sept. 11 and winds through South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, Queensland and Western Australia before closing at Ocean’s Winery in Margaret River on Oct. 24.

The run includes cities Gray has not previously visited in Australia, among them Shepparton, Albury, Thirroul, Tamworth, Erina, Shoal Bay, Rockhampton, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie. Pre-sale tickets are available from June 1 at 9 a.m. local time for venue and ticket outlet database members, with general sale opening June 3 at 9 a.m. local time via macygraylive.com.au.

The tour follows a sold-out Australian run in 2024. “Australia! The band and I have always had a ball down under, and we can’t wait to see you all again,” Gray said in a statement.

“This time, I’m heading to places I’ve never been before and will get to see so much more of your beautiful country. We’re going to be performing all the songs you want to hear, plus a few from my new album — The Trouble with the Truth . Australia will be the first audiences to hear tracks from the new album live so get your dancing shoes ready and come along and party with us at a show near you!”

Gray broke through internationally in 1999 with “I Try,” which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, hit No. 1 in Australia, Ireland and New Zealand, and won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 2001 Grammy Awards — where it was also nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

Her debut album On How Life Is sold more than seven million copies worldwide. She has since released ten studio albums, won one Grammy from five nominations, and sold more than 25 million records worldwide. In addition to her music career, Gray has appeared in films including Training Day and Spider-Man .
