Tim Minchin Announces First Australian Tour In Over Half A Decade

For the first time since 2012, Australian legend Tim Minchin will embark on a headline tour of the country next year.

The WA-raised comic and musician will premiere his new show, BACK, in Adelaide next March, followed by performances in Canberra, Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. 

The new show is billed as "Old songs, new songs, fuck you songs" from Minchin's extensive catalogue. 

BACK will mark Minchin’s return to the stage, following several film and TV appearances which earned him a handful of acting accolades, including the Qantas Orry-Kelly Award at the 2017 Australians in Film Awards and a 2016 Logie Award for Most Outstanding Supporting Actor for The Secret River.
