On behalf of the event organisers we'd like to advise the Grace Petrie show that was to be held Wed 25 Mar at Altar Bar has been postponed.

Please see below message from Grace:

“To say I am heartbroken at the loss of my wonderful, wonderful dad doesn’t come close to covering it. I’m therefore sorry to announce I’m unable to complete my upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand that was due to begin in March.

I know that the lovely folks who were planning to see me in Australia and Aotearoa will understand that performing for me is a lot deeper than putting on a show. I got my love of music from my dad and I believe, as he did, that what we all create together in the room is an authentic connection. I always try my hardest to give audiences nothing less than my best, and I am in no state to give that right now.

Our shows in Melbourne, Castlemaine, Archies Creek, Burrinja and Canberra are unable to be postponed, and for these my phenomenal dear pal Irish Mythen is stepping in. They are an exceptional performer and I know they’ll give you a brilliant show.

I have always had a special love for Australia and Aotearoa, and the wonderful folks there who have supported me and held me up for years. Thank you for your understanding while I navigate these difficult days.

We are working hard to lock in a new date, and will advise you as soon as this is confirmed.

UK-based protest singer Grace Petrie has been likened to Billy Bragg for her fearless political songwriting, sharp wit, and compelling performances. Since her Australian debut in 2020, she has returned for multiple tours, selling out shows in cities around the country and building a passionate local following.

Her breakout single “Black Tie” became a queer anthem, earning over 1.2 million Spotify streams and receiving glowing reviews from MOJO, The Observer, and The New Yorker.

Her latest album, Build Something Better, produced by Frank Turner, topped the UK folk charts and confirmed her status as one of Britain’s most vital voices.
