Frontier Touring is pleased to announce that critically acclaimed singer, songwriter and producer Matt Corby will return to stages across the country this June 2026, bringing his celebrated live show to audiences nationwide with The Tragic Magic Tour.
With multiple ARIA Awards, platinum-selling releases and a body of work that continues to evolve with each release, Matt Corby stands as one of Australia’s most enduring and influential artists. The upcoming tour celebrates the release of the singer’s fourth studio album, Tragic Magic, set for release on Friday 17 April via Island Records (pre-order here) – a deeply personal and soul-soaked collection that captures a new chapter in Corby’s life and artistry.
Praised as one of the country’s most compelling live performers (as witnessed on his national trek supporting US star Teddy Swims in 2025), Corby’s shows are renowned for their intimacy and musicianship – a space where intricate arrangements and his unmistakable voice take centre stage. The Tragic Magic Tour will see Corby perform at some of the country’s most-loved venues, kicking off at Adelaide’s Thebarton Theatre on Wednesday 3 June, followed by Perth’s Riverside Theatre on Thursday 4 June, before heading to Melbourne’s The Forum on Tuesday 9 June. The tour will continue to Newcastle’s Civic Theatre on Friday 12 June, before concluding at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Sunday 14 June.
Joining the tour as special guest is Gretta Ray. From a triple j Unearthed High win to touring alongside Maisie Peters, Mumford & Sons and Gang of Youths, Gretta Ray has continued to evolve as one of Australia’s most compelling pop voices. Following her acclaimed debut Begin To Look Around (2021), Ray’s 2023 sophomore album Positive Spin cemented her reputation for sharp, emotionally resonant songwriting.
Tickets to The Tragic Magic Tour go on sale Monday 13 April (11am local time) via frontiertouring.com/mattcorby. Frontier Members presale starts Friday 10 April (11am local time) – see website for details.
Matt Corby is a musical perennial. Three immaculate albums into an original music journey, with no end in sight, Matt first broke through back in 2011 with the bruising ballad and 10x Platinum hit ‘Brother’, a song whose enduring appeal was proven again with its #51 appearance on triple j’s ‘Hottest 100 Of Australian Songs’ in 2025. While it remains a defining song of its era, it is the work since – from the quiet intensity of singles such as ‘Resolution’, ‘Miracle Love’, or ‘Reelin’ – to the expansive albums Telluric (2016), Rainbow Valley (2018), Everything’s Fine (2023) – that underscores a career shaped by evolution over expectation.
The first taste of Corby’s forthcoming album came in the form of singles groove-laden single ‘Burn It Down’, the reflective ‘Long and Short’ and ‘War To Love’. Tragic Magic sees Corby further refine his timeless sound, Corby co-producing every track and performing the majority of instruments across the record.
One of Australia’s most soulful and stirring voices, don’t miss these special shows.
