Rowena Wise

This October and November, Rowena Wise takes her full band on the road for 10+ dates across Australia in support of her sophomore album Bad Things Feel Good* — a tender, point-blank look at the pain of transformation, and what it means to be flesh and blood. From Melbourne to Brisbane, Sydney to Hobart and beyond.

Written over two years of near-constant touring and recorded live over three days at The Ratshack in Collingwood with producer Rob Muinos (Julia Jacklin, Didirri), the album traces heartbreak, estrangement, and the knottier growing pains of adulthood through candid poetic lyricism and a raw live production. The songs hold space rather than demand attention — and live, they hit even harder.

If her name sounds familiar, you might have seen it on the Australian Music Prize shortlist, or caught her selling out rooms in London and Melbourne, or opening for Holy Holy and Ball Park Music. Maybe you spotted her at SXSW, The Great Escape, or Reeperbahn. With over 10 million streams and new listeners arriving every week, this is her biggest and most anticipated tour to date.
