Courtney Barnett today announced that she will be performing a global live stream on Thursday 17th December from the Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne. The event will be available across multiple time zones for audiences around the world and is the first full-band show she will have performed since the sold-out Corner Hotel bushfire fundraising gigs in early January.
From Where I’m Standing: Live from the Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne will stream at the following times with fans around the world able to choose the most convenient stream for them:
Australia / NZ Stream – 8PM AEDT / 10PM NZDT
Australia West Coast / Asia Stream – 8PM AWST / 9PM JST & KST
UK & Europe – 8PM GMT / 9PM CET
North America East Coast – 8PM ET
North America West Coast – 8PM PT
While Barnett’s hometown of Melbourne was in lockdown for over 100 days, she was forced to swap the tour-bus for an apartment and lay low. Indeed, 2020 was the year that Barnett’s seemingly never-ending global touring schedule ground to a halt. It’s been an opportunity to regroup, think deep and rest. Eventually, it became an opportunity to write and create too.
Now re-emerging, Barnett plans to bring together her band (Bones Sloane, Dave Mudie and newest member Lucy Waldron on cello) to one of Australia’s most extraordinary buildings, the Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne for a very special, very beautiful, one-night-only live event.
