Episode Description
Interview by Angela Croudace
Fresh from a powerful return to the region in 2024, Faroese artist Eivør is set to bring her first-ever headline tour of Australia this March, marking a long-anticipated homecoming of sorts. After opening for Heilung last year, the experience left a lasting imprint on the singer, who describes the visit as the fulfilment of a long-held dream and the catalyst for returning with her full band and production .
Known for live performances that feel closer to ritual than concert, Eivør approaches each setlist as an emotional journey, carefully shaping the arc of every show while allowing room for spontaneity and connection. “It’s about taking people somewhere,” she explains, noting that no two nights are ever exactly the same .
Australian audiences can also expect elements drawn from her work on The Last Kingdom, where her voice reached a global audience and reconnected her deeply with her Nordic roots, threads that continue to weave naturally into her live shows .
Above all, this tour is about community. Eivør speaks warmly of the love she felt from Australian crowds last time, describing the experience as family-like and deeply affirming. For first-time headline attendees, she hopes audiences leave feeling “something”; whether joy, release, or simply love."
