Macy Gray Live – The Encore Tour | Hobart

editor — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 13:15:32 +0000

Following her sensational sold-out 2024 Australian tour, Macy Gray returns for her largest ever tour of Australia and New Zealand — and this time, she’s going further than ever before. Returning to every city she sold out and taking her music to regional destinations across the country, Macy will also cross the Tasman for six unforgettable shows in New Zealand, before bringing the entire celebration to a spectacular close in the stunning Margaret River wine region.

This is not just a concert tour — Macy Gray Live is a festival of soul.

With over 25 million records sold worldwide, a Grammy Award, two BRIT Awards, and 10 studio albums spanning more than two decades, Macy Gray is one of the greatest R&B and soul artists of her generation — and Australia and New Zealand loved her first. I Try went straight to number one here and in New Zealand, while On How Life Is topped the Australian charts and spent 44 weeks on the New Zealand Albums Chart — a long time before America fully caught on.

Nobody puts on a show like Macy Gray — she parties like it’s 1999 and this tour is proof. Expect a jaw-dropping celebration of her chart-topping hits including I Try, Still, Do Something, Sexual Revolution, Sweet Baby, and so much more, plus her brand new single — the classic I’m Too Sexy from the upcoming album The Trouble with the Truth.

Australia and New Zealand made Macy Gray a star. Now she’s coming back to remind you why.

After another massive year on the road in support of their latest record “A Young Person’s Guide to King Parrot”, the KP crew have put together a run of 8 shows to close out 2026 in Australia. They’ll be heading Off The Beaten Track to hit some of those less ventured locations including regional VIC, NSW and 3 shows in Tasmania!

After kicking off the year in the USA alongside metal veterans Gwar and Soulfly for 39 shows across the continent, the boys have shown no signs of slowing down with upcoming summer European festival appearances scheduled and select club dates through Europe, Scandinavia, the UK and Ireland throughout August and September.

In a change to the usual King Parrot touring lineup and while a few long standing members take some time off the road, the band have enlisted US bass playing veteran Derek Engemann to handle duties for upcoming touring commitments. Derek brings a wealth of experience including a 6 show stint filling in for Rex Brown from Pantera as well as more permanent duties in hugely successful metal acts like Cattle Decapitation, Scour and Philip H. Anselmo and The Illegals. Be sure to catch King Parrot… Off The Beaten Track in November and December through Australia. Tickets are on sale now!
