After wowing audiences across the country in 2024 on her sold-out Australian tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of her debut album On How Life Is, soul singer Macy Gray returns this September and October for an encore run of shows.
Returning to every city she sold out, along with adding a stack of new destinations, fans can expect to hear all of Gray’s biggest hits on tour, including ‘I Try’, ‘Still’, ‘Sweet Baby’ and ‘The Letter’, along with tracks from her upcoming new album The Trouble with the Truth, including her sensual cover of Right Said Fred’s ‘I’m Too Sexy’.”
“Australia! The band and I have always had a ball ‘down under’ and we can’t wait to see you all again! This time, I’m heading to places I’ve never been before and will get to see so much more of your beautiful country,” says Gray.
“We’re going to be performing all the songs you want to hear, plus a few from my new album – The Trouble with the Truth. Australia will be the first audiences to hear tracks from the new album live so get your dancing shoes ready and come along and party with us at a show near you!”
