Acclaimed Australian singer songwriter Katie Noonan will return to Melbourne this winter, announcing a headline show at Melbourne Recital Centre as part of a national tour tied to the release of her upcoming album Alone But All One.
The concert will take place on Saturday 1 August 2026 and forms the final stop on a tour that will see Noonan perform across the country following the release of her 30th studio album, which arrives on Friday 26 June.
The new record explores themes of love, change and personal reinvention and marks Noonan’s first songwriting collaboration with acclaimed author Trent Dalton. The album also features The River Suite String Quartet.
“This album is for anyone who’s gone through a life shift – not just separation, but grief, uncertainty, or quiet reinvention,” reveals Noonan. “It’s music for sitting with things. For remembering we’re not alone, even in solitude. It’s personal, but I hope it will resonate in a way that becomes collective.”
The announcement comes alongside the release of the album’s first single, This Isn’t What I Signed Up For, giving fans an early glimpse into the reflective tone of the new material.
Noonan’s Australian tour begins in Brisbane on Friday 10 July before heading to Sydney for two shows on Saturday 11 July and Sunday 12 July. She will then travel west for performances in Perth and Mosman Park on Thursday 16 July and Friday 17 July, followed by a Margaret River show on Saturday 18 July. Adelaide will host the second last concert on Thursday 30 July before the tour wraps in Melbourne.
Australian singer songwriter Mark Wilkinson will join Noonan on most dates of the tour.
Noonan has spent more than 25 years building one of the most respected careers in Australian music, earning five ARIA Awards and 29 nominations. She first rose to prominence in the late 1990s as part of the band George before launching a prolific solo career spanning dozens of recordings and collaborations.
