Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriter’s Hall of Fame inductee Jackson Browne will return with his full band to Australia and New Zealand in April 2023, performing five special headline shows in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.
The American singer-songwriter will perform at A Day on the Green at Kings Park on Tuesday, April 11, 2023. He will be joined by special guests The Waifs and Helen Shanahan.
The tour will be Jackson Browne’s first live dates in both countries since 2018, and follows the release of his 2021 GRAMMY-nominated 15th studio album Downhill From Everywhere, the latest work in a multi-platinum career. Hailed as one of the “Greatest Songwriters of All Time” by Rolling Stone, Browne has sold over 18 million records in the US alone since his 1972 debut on David Geffen’s Asylum Records.
Before launching his own solo career and releasing hits such as Running On Empty, These Days, Doctor My Eyes and more, Browne got his start behind the scenes, penning tunes that would be recorded by the likes of Nico, The Byrds, and Tom Rush.
Known for his advocacy on behalf of the environment, human rights, and arts education, Browne is the co-founder of Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) and Nukefree.org, and a member of Ocean advocacy group Ocean Elders. In 2002, he was the fourth recipient of the John Steinbeck Award, while he has received Duke University’s LEAF award for Lifetime Environmental Achievement in the Fine Arts, and both the Chapin-World Hunger Year and NARM Harry Chapin Humanitarian Awards.
Jackson Browne will perform at A Day on the Green at Kings Park on Tuesday, April 11, 2023. Tickets are on sale Thursday, August 25 from www.ticketmaster.com.au
