Beck to Bring Orchestral Tour to Australia in May 2025

Beck Hansen, known mononymously as Beck, will tour Australia in May 2025 with a series of orchestral performances.

"The orchestral format allows for a different approach to his music, focusing on emotional depth rather than physical performance."

Tour Dates and Venues

The tour will feature two distinct orchestral partners:

  • Sydney: Beck will perform with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra at the Sydney Opera House on May 7, 8, and 9.
  • Melbourne: He will perform with Philharmonia Australia at the Palais Theatre on May 12 and 13.

Setlist and Repertoire

The setlist will include signature hits such as "Loser" and "Where It's At," as well as selections from his acclaimed albums Sea Change and Morning Phase.

Behind the Music

Beck noted that the orchestral arrangement enables a more introspective interpretation of his work. His father, David Campbell, has handled orchestration for many of his albums, further deepening the familial and artistic connection to this format.
