Chet Faker has announced two new Australian headline shows as part of his ongoing A Love for Strangers world tour.
The additional concerts are set for March 3 at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall and March 4 at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre. The newly announced dates arrive amid an already busy touring schedule for the Australian singer-songwriter, who is also set to perform at Adelaide’s A Day in the Gully festival on Feb. 28, followed by shows in Melbourne on March 1 and Perth on March 6.
The tour supports A Love for Strangers, Chet Faker’s forthcoming album due Feb. 13 via BMG.

The project marks his first full-length release since 2021’s Hotel Surrender and arrives more than a decade after his breakout debut, Built on Glass, which was released in 2014. That album helped establish Faker — born Nick Murphy — as one of Australia’s most globally recognized electronic and alternative artists, powered by songs including “Talk Is Cheap” and “Gold.”
New material from A Love for Strangers has already begun to surface, with recent singles “Far Side of the Moon” and “This Time for Real” offering an early glimpse into the record’s direction. The album is positioned as a reflective moment in Murphy’s career, following the 10-year anniversary of Built on Glass and a period of personal and creative reassessment.
The Australian dates are part of a broader global itinerary. Chet Faker previously announced a 21-date North American run scheduled for April and May, with European shows set to follow in July.
Together, the tour dates reflect a return to more intimate venues alongside select festival appearances, giving fans multiple entry points into this latest chapter of his catalog.
Tickets for the Brisbane and Sydney headline shows go on sale Monday, Jan. 19, at 12 p.m. local time. A Frontier Members presale will begin Thursday, Jan. 15, at 10 a.m. local time. The shows are promoted by Frontier Touring.
Since first emerging under the Chet Faker moniker in the early 2010s, Murphy has built a career defined by evolution rather than repetition, alternating between electronic experimentation, soul-rooted songwriting and stripped-back production.
