Live music fans have much to anticipate as acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Pete Murray brings his eagerly awaited new tour to Mackay for a single performance on Wednesday, 18 June, at the Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre (MECC).
Murray’s most extensive tour to date will take him to numerous regional markets across Australia, many of which he has never previously visited, with a total of 56 shows scheduled throughout 2025.
While Murray needs little introduction as one of Australia’s most successful singer-songwriters, his upcoming tour will tick off a unique first after over two decades since he released his debut full length album The Game in 2001; namely, Murray’s first ever solo tour on home soil, armed with an acoustic guitar and a stunning back catalogue of hits to create his setlists from.
“I’ve never done a solo tour in this country before, so it’s been on the cards for a while,” said Murray.
“I’ve done it overseas and people love it - so it’s about time I did it in my own country. There will be some story telling of my songs, my life and career. The shows will be very intimate.”
Over the years, Murray has sold over 1.2 million albums, amassed hundreds of millions of streams, released three ARIA chart-topping albums, and boasts 17 ARIA Award nominations amongst multiple other wins and nominations.
Emerging with his debut full length album The Game in 2001, Murray’s breakout sophomore album Feeler in 2003 cemented his status as one of the all-time greats.
Now dominantly splitting his time in the studio and spending time with his family, Murray has also cultivated a stalwart reputation for his live show, from his own headline shows with his band at home and abroad, as well as performances with the likes of Missy Higgins, Icehouse, Rob Thomas and James Blunt to name a mere few.
