Australia first and then back out in the big wide world, the world needs music and I’m ready to share. “Very excited to get out on the road and share this new record and live show that I’ve been working on. Xavier Rudd announces his 2022 Australian tour, in celebration of the release of his forthcoming 10th studio album ‘Jan Juc Moon’, out 25th March. The break accelerated a return to the solo mode of creation that first led the barefoot multi-instrumentalist on his phenomenal journey. The wide-open space he'd found himself in - the great COVID silence - was both beyond his control and curiously in-sync. It felt like a wind of change, literally, in so many ways." "We were on a trip north to the Cape and the wind was blowing too hard to take the tinnie out to the island… As I contemplated everything in my life and what was happening in the world there was literally a strong southeaster blowing, all the time. "It hit me last year when I started to write Stoney Creek," the Australian roots journeyman says of the album's first, exhilarating single: a rolling acoustic balm of a song that finds refuge in the simple blessings of rest, companionship and belonging in a world gone crazy. It’s a recurring image that speaks of wide-open space and the awesome natural elements that shape it: a force far greater than us, but ours to harness if we take the time to learn, reflect and respect its ways. His current tour is set to continue for another month-and-a-half as Rudd visit’s the entire left side of the country, so if you’re yet to take the chance to catch one of Australia’s most beloved and revered performers live, now is the chance, with tickets on sale via his official website.The wind blows strong though Xavier Rudd's tenth album. It underlines Rudd’s status as an iconic artist and performer. What’s most impressive though is the fact that Rudd’s 86-date run of shows makes this current Jan Juc Moon album tour one of the largest tours undertaken by an Australian artist in 2022, only being eclipsed by a handful of the country’s best, such as Amy Shark and her mammoth 114 show touring schedule.
Having already powered through a run of Queensland shows, Rudd is currently in the midst of his trek through New South Wales, with this week seeing him visit the likes of Sydney and Newcastle before dipping down to the nation’s capital for a show at the Canberra Theatre. Joining him on his tour is First Nations duo Marlon x Rulla, whose acclaimed performance at the 2021 edition of WOMADelaide saw Rolling Stonenote that, “the group not only cemented themselves as one of the most monumental names on the bill for the evening, but set themselves aside as a pair of artists that you not only should, but undoubtedly need, to pay attention to as their career continues to rise.” Xavier Rudd, 41, reveals his health scare just weeks before his biggest tour to date Daily Mail Online Published: 23:32 EDT, Updated: 03:18 EDT, SHOP BY. After wrapping up locally, Rudd will head overseas for his international tour taking in 18 countries across 48 dates with shows already sold out in the likes of Antwerp, Amsterdam and Belgium.
Kicking off his run of dates back in late May, the extensive national trek sees Xavier Rudd making an absolutely mammoth 86 stops, visiting every state and territory in Australia across 38 dates as he traverses the expansive natural landscape that inspires his work. But, it’s not enough for Rudd to simply take his new work on the road with a run of headline dates in major cities (including Perth, Adelaide, Darwin, and Hobart, of course), rather, he’s an artist who doesn’t do things by half measures, having announced a truly immense national tour. With the record out in the world now, the next logical step for Xavier Rudd was to hit the road to share with his adoring fans the breathtaking songs that make up his latest album. “Weaving together organic sounds of nature and wildlife, themes of environmentalism and Indigenous history-and powerful compositions that sees him working with the likes of J-MILLA or the Slabb Brothers- Jan Juc Moon is one of Xavier Rudd ‘s most resonant albums to date,” wrote Rolling Stone of the record back upon its release. His seventh consecutive album to place in the ARIA top ten, the record showcases the arresting quality of Rudd’s passion and musicianship, intertwining in a way that can only be described as magical. It was only back in March that Rudd unleashed his tenth studio album, Jan Juc Moon.
