British music legend Alison Moyet has announced she will be touring Australia in May & June 2025 as part of her worldwide Key tour.

It is Moyet’s first tour of Australia in eight years and is in support of her new album Key, out on 4 October. Key celebrates her 40 years as a solo artist and features reworking of some of her biggest singles, including ‘All Cried Out’ and ‘Is This Love?’, album tracks from seven of her previous albums plus two new tracks.

“I wanted to take the opportunity to look at the trajectory of the past four decades and explore songs that, in their original form, were never fully realised or have had their relevance to me altered by time,” Moyet says.

The Key tour will kick off in Brisbane on 29 May, before playing Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. Presale tickets go on sale on 19 August at 1pm, through to 21 August 1pm, with general public tickets going on sale on 21 August at 2pm.

“Australia has been such a rare visit for me but its impact has been the stuff of wonder,” Moyet says of the upcoming tour. “The light and the astounding beauty. My travelling years are drawing in, so this return to you is a significant one. It has taken all my working years to get to know myself as an artist and live work is the summation. It’s a privilege to be offered a stage and my joy to accept it. I am beyond happy to be sharing those days with whosoever of you may come.”

Moyet first broke through in 1982 as the lead singer of pioneering synthpop duo Yazoo, most famous for their iconic single ‘Only You’. After the group disbanded in 1984, Moyet launched a solo career with the single ‘Love Resurrection’. She quickly became most of the UK’s most successful artists, with three Brit Awards, a Grammy nomination and 12 UK top 30 albums. Her powerful bluesy-soulful voice that can adapt to any genre, from synthpop to indie to rock, has seen her become one of the most revered singers of her generation. A commanding, compelling, exceptional performer with a hugely impressive catalogue of songs, this chance to see a music legend live is one not to be missed.
