Irish singer-songwriter Dove Ellis is heading to Australia for the first time in March 2027, announcing headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney alongside an appearance at Golden Plains Festival.
The West of Ireland musician is riding a wave of international attention following the release of his debut album Blizzard, which earned him a nomination for the 2026 Mercury Prize. His Australian debut follows a US tour supporting New York indie-rock favourites Geese on their Getting Killed tour.
Ellis has quickly established himself as a distinctive voice in alternative music, combining intimate folk songwriting with expansive arrangements and an extraordinary vocal range. Comparisons to Jeff Buckley and Thom Yorke are understandable, particularly in the way his voice moves between delicate restraint and raw intensity.
Blizzard has been central to his rapid rise, earning critical praise for its ambitious songwriting and emotional depth. His performance of ‘To The Sandals’ at the 2026 Mercury Prize offered another glimpse of an artist whose music relies as much on atmosphere and vocal expression as it does on melody.
Now Australian audiences will get their first opportunity to see what the excitement is about. With two intimate headline dates and a Golden Plains appearance, Ellis is making his Australian debut at a significant moment in his career.
