Kae Tempest(GBR)

One of the most vital voices in contemporary music and literature, Kae Tempest will return to Australia this June for a highly anticipated national tour.

The tour follows the release of Kae’s extraordinary new album Self Titled — a bold, intimate and expansive body of work that stands as both a love letter to a younger self and a dialogue between past, present and future. Interwoven with the people, places and experiences that have shaped him, Self Titled navigates resistance, doubt and hope, tracing the liberation that comes with radical self-acceptance.

The music presents nods to rave culture, hip hop’s golden eras and alternative soul, yet the pulse is unmistakably Kae - urgent, poetic and fearless.

Expect a performance that is immersive, electrifying and profoundly human - an artist at the height of their powers, meeting each crowd in the shared space between vulnerability and defiance.

Open Season is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland's Strategic Partnerships Fund, and by the Australian Government through the Office for the Arts Revive Live program.
