JAMES MARRIOTT (UK) ANNOUNCES HEADLINE SHOWS IN PERTH, SYDNEY, ADELAIDE, MELBOURNE AND BRISBANE

ON TOUR MARCH/APRIL 2026

MG Live and Frontier Touring are pleased to announce the welcome return of Brighton, UK singer and songwriter James Marriott, set to tour Australia next March and April with five headline shows in PerthSydneyAdelaideMelbourne, and Brisbane

In less than three years, Marriott has evolved from uploading self-written acoustic songs online to becoming one of the UK’s most talked-about and charismatic indie-pop acts. His 2023 self-released debut album Are We There Yet? reached #17 on the UK Albums Chart; its follow-up, Don’t Tell The Dog (out now via AWAL)exceeded that success, debuting at #1 in both the UK and Scottish charts upon its June release.

Today’s Australian tour news follows a whirlwind year so far. Currently on the road in the US, Marriott has already fuelled over 40,000 live tickets sold in 2025, thanks to his sharp wit, restless creativity and unflinching honesty. His upcoming UK and European dates in November and December saw venues rapidly upgraded to meet fans’ demand for tickets, Marriott set to perform multiple sold-out dates in cities such as Bristol, Dublin, Brighton, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Prague, Barcelona, Amsterdam and more this spring, before wrapping up his run with two huge nights at London’s iconic The Roundhouse.

Marriott’s Australian dates – a mere 12 months after he last stepped foot on our shores – arrives amid a growing international breakout. These performances will give fans a first chance to experience Don’t Tell The Dog in full flight: part alt-pop theatre, part emotional exorcism, Marriott delivers his latest songs with new sonic touchpoints and luminous synth flourishes. As heard on recent singles ‘I Don’t Want To Live Like This’‘Toothache’ and ‘Plasticine’, Marriott is building something rare: a career defined by empathy as much as energy. As captured in a recent profile in The Line Of Best Fit:
‘The version of James Marriott that began this journey – the YouTube personality, the self-deprecating commentator – still lingers around the edges. But now, he’s something else entirely: a songwriter who has figured out how to turn feeling into form, discomfort into melody, and growing pains into a catalogue that resonates far beyond the screen’

Tickets to James’ upcoming AU shows go on sale Friday 24 October (12pm local time) via frontiertouring.com/jamesmarriott. Frontier Members presale starts Tuesday 21 October (11am local time) – see website for more information.
