After a stellar sold-out run earlier this year — including three unforgettable nights at the Sydney Opera House and five packed Hamer Halls in Melbourne — Gillian Welch and David Rawlings make an exciting return to Australia for the second leg of their Woodland campaign.


This time, the beloved duo are hittin’ the road from Queensland and making their way down the East Coast, with a slight detour to Adelaide, before finishing in regional Victoria.


Brisbane, Gold Coast, Toowoomba, Sydney, Newcastle, Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne, Geelong, and even Korumburra — prepare yourselves for the magic of this dynamic pair.


For more than 25 years, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings have stood as two of the most vital voices in American roots music. Since their early days in Nashville, the pair have crafted a sound defined by exquisite harmonies, aching simplicity and an unspoken musical connection that borders on the telepathic.


Welch’s breakthrough came when Emmylou Harris recorded her song Orphan Girl, leading to her acclaimed debut Revival and its follow-up Hell Among the Yearlings. Together, Welch and Rawlings helped define a generation of Americana through their Grammy-winning work on O Brother, Where Art Thou? and albums like Time (The Revelator) and The Harrow & The Harvest.


Their latest album, Woodland (2025, Acony Records) continues that legacy — a quiet, radiant testament to preservation and the timeless power of song.


Experience even More Evenings with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings across the country this February and March.
