Sarah Blasko Reveals Aus Tour Dates In Support Of First Album In Six Years

Sarah Blasko is hitting the road this November and December in promotion of her first album of new material in six years, I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain.

The new album, set for release on Friday, 1 November, has seen Blasko drop the first single, The Way, last month and a new single, Bothering Me, out today—check out the music video below.

This November and December, Blasko will tour with her live band – playing new songs and travelling through her expansive catalogue – for a string of shows in Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and Western Australia, in addition to the already-announced dates in Victoria.

All tickets to Blasko’s upcoming tour go on sale at 9 am local time on Thursday, 29 August, via her website. You can find all the tour dates below.

Blasko said of the new track, Bothering Me, “Dreams seem to be a way of processing things that happen during the day, so I embraced dreaming as a way of getting over things. Getting older is TOUGH. Sometimes I don’t know who I am anymore and that I’ve lost touch with the person I used to be and the dreams I held. I try to let go but not let go at the same time because dreams are important.”

I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain is an album that explores what makes late-night reflections: muses on goodbyes, grief, new beginnings, and friendships that have followed Blasko since childhood.

She recorded and co-produced the new LP at Rancom Street Studios in Sydney with engineer Brent Clark and Kenny Gilmore (Weyes Blood, Julia Holter, Ariel Pink), who mixed the record. To Blasko, the forthcoming album marks “probably the most relaxed and free-feeling record I’ve made.”
