Kate Miller-Heidke

RESCHEDULED FROM 3 SEPT DUE TO ILLNESS. All tickets for original event remain valid for new date. Please contact the venue box office if you need to make other arrangements.

Join genre-defying singer-songwriter KATE MILLER-HEIDKE as she launches her new album, and explores territory at once both ancient and new - deconstructing our past, illuminating the present, and casting her eye towards our future, on her new gothic folk masterpiece, THE KISS AND THE ABYSS

On her new album, Kate Miller-Heidke returns to her musical roots - while pushing further into the unknown than ever before. A striking fusion of gothic folk, theatrical storytelling, cinematic soundscapes, and avant-garde textures, the new album finds one of Australia’s most singular voices at her most fearless, expansive and self-assured. Kate takes the folk music that was the first love of her songwriting youth, and refracts it through a darker, more experienced lens, to focus on the ills - and the hopes - of the modern world.

THE KISS AND THE ABYSS is a meditation on the Internet age - its distortions, seductions, and impact on our humanity. Old-world instrumentation and mythological imagery collide with distinctly modern anxieties, creating a work that is both timeless and sharply of the moment, reflecting the emotional and ideological battlegrounds of contemporary life.

Join KATE MILLER-HEIDKE, with longtime collaborator KEIR NUTTALL on guitar, as she performs a wide selection of tracks from the album – some for the first time – alongside the songs that have made her one of the most acclaimed and respected singers, songwriters, and creative forces in contemporary Australian music.

THE KISS AND THE ABYSS is out 14 August through EMI Music Australia. Pre-order now with exclusive merch bundles at katemillerheidke.com. New single ‘Holiday’ out now.
