Saya Gray announces debut Australian tour presented by Handsome Tours + playing Meredith Festival this Dec
PRAISE FOR Saya Gray 2025 AU Tour
“There’s a universality to Gray’s lyrics – which, on Saya, are generally about heartbreak – that feels particularly sturdy and comforting”
“Step into the layered world of Saya Gray, the 29-year-old artist whose music is as much a hallucinatory fantasy as it is a parable of the human experience”
“Stepping inside the mind of Saya Gray is a whirlwind experience”

Saya Gray’s music doesn’t sit comfortably in any one place. Built from fragmented samples, voice memos, layered guitars, and sudden shifts in form, her songs move like thoughts — scattered, sharp-edged, intimate. Across her releases so far – 19MASTERS (2022), QWERTY I (2023), and QWERTY II (2024) – the Japanese-Canadian artist has quietly carved out a sound that resists polish in favour of something rawer and closer to the source. “1000 personalities in one song,” as she puts it.
This December, she brings that sonic world to Australia for the first time, with a headline tour stopping in Eora/Sydney (Dec 1, Metro Theatre), Meanjin/Brisbane (Dec 3, Princess Theatre), and Naarm/Melbourne (Dec 7, 170 Russell), as well as a special performance at the iconic Meredith Music Festival on Wadawurrung Country (Dec 5). Presented by Handsome Tours, the pre-sale begins Thursday 28 August at 12 PM (local), with general on-sale from Friday 29 August at 10 AM (local).
The tour arrives following the release of her debut album SAYA, which arrived in February via Dirty Hit. Personal in a way that feels almost confrontational, the album pushes even deeper into the themes of identity, dislocation, and hyperstimulation that have shaped her past work, but with a new kind of clarity.
