Courtney Barnett has announced her first-ever Here and There touring festival, featuring a unique lineup of rotating musicians who will join the Australian rocker on the road this summer.
The tour begins on August 8 at Arvest Bank Theatre at The Midland in Kansas City, Mo., followed by a stop on August 9 in St. Louis and a gig in Cleveland on August 10. The first three stops will feature guests Lucy Dacus and Quinn Christopherson.
Dacus will stick around for the next set of shows and be joined by Faye Webster and Caroline Rose, who will unite with Barnett in Harrisburg, Pa., on August 12. In North Adams, Mass. the latter will be joined by tour newcomers Men I Trust, The Beths, Bartees Strange and Hana Vu.
Additional guests joining Barnett at select stops include Snail Mail, Alvvays, Sleater-Kinney, Waxahatchee, Leith Ross, Lido Primienta, Japanese Breakfast, Julia Jacklin, Chicano Batman, Indigo De Souza, Wet Leg, Ethel Chain, and comedian Fred Armisen.
Barnett shared, “When I was a kid I would make mix-tapes and dream up my own festivals, I’d even design the t-shirts and pair up musicians for iconic collaborations. I’d listen to the mix-tape and pretend it was the live recording of the concert, all my favorite artists on one stage together. 10 years ago I wrote this lyric: ‘I got lost somewhere between here and there, I’m not sure what the was called.’ Whether that was meant to be interpreted as a geographical, emotional or philosophical journey, I thought it was the perfect title for me roaming festival.”
The ticket presale begins on Tuesday, March 29, at 10 a.m. local time. General public on-sale starts April 1 at 10 a.m. local time.
