Beck Returns to Melbourne With His Only AU Headline Show

Frontier Touring announces the return of eight-time GRAMMY winner Beck, bringing his acclaimed Ride Lonesome Tour to Melbourne for a special one-off performance at Margaret Court Arena on Thursday 18 February.

Following the ecstatic reception to his 15th studio album Ride Lonesome, released this September via Capitol Records, Beck returns to Melbourne fresh from an extensive sold-out North American tour, with performances at iconic venues including Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, Massey Hall in Toronto and New York’s Brooklyn Paramount.

‘A thrillingly different kind of Beck concert … This wasn’t a traditional rock show. Instead, as one song flowed to the next, it revealed itself as a kind of hybrid, mixing songs with theatrical trappings with each set change by the crew who worked silently in the shadows of the stage’
– Los Angeles Daily News

‘A masterful night that left the audience enchanted, armed with elaborate arrangements, incredible musicianship, and enough rarities to delight both the die-hards and the casually curious’ – Detroit Metro-Times

‘No other artist can weave as naturally from era to era in such a convincing and captivating way’ – Boston.com

One of modern music’s most inventive and celebrated songwriters, Beck returns delivering a full-scale band show centred around his latest album, his first collection of all-new material since 2019’s Hyperspace. Produced by Beck and mixed by longtime collaborator Nigel Godrich, Ride Lonesome was met with widespread acclaim, the album signalling what many fans have welcomed as a return to the beautiful, introspective sonic landscapes of landmark records Sea Change and Morning Phase.

‘A stunning end to the heartache trilogy of Sea Change and Morning Phase… a sequel to a sequel that’s every bit as good as its predecessors’ – The Guardian ★★★★★

‘A masterpiece of melancholia’ – MOJO ★★★★★

‘A drop-dead gorgeous meditation on heartache and solitude’ – NME

‘Ride Lonesome isn’t a nostalgic play to recapture wayward fans, or even a commercial ploy to snare new ones by tapping into the in-vogue sounds of country and folk. It’s a sound, mood and style that’s just one of the many suits alt-rock’s most famous chameleon has hanging in his musical closet’ – Double J
