FREYA RIDINGSU.K.’s Breakout Star Makes Her Australian Debut

MELBOURNE, AU (Nov 28, 2019) – FREYA RIDINGS is the new star tipped by everyone from Taylor Swift to

Florence Welch and Richard Quinn. Following her breakthrough in 2018 with the platinum-selling hit ‘Lost Without

You’, Ridings has been riding high all over the world. Her latest single ‘Castles’ has been climbing the charts with

support from Australian commercial radio, currently sitting at #4 on the ARIA digital singles chart and has

achieved gold ARIA certification.

Now, Freya Ridings has announced her first tour of Australia which sees the English pop star performing two

intimate performances, first at the Metro Theatre in Sydney on March 10 and Melbourne’s Corner Hotel on March

12.

Tickets for all shows go on sale at 12pm Monday, December 2.

My Live Nation members can secure tickets first during the exclusive pre-sale beginning 12pm Friday, November

29 until 12pm Sunday, December 1.

Becoming a surprise success story with her single, ‘Lost Without You’, a once-in-a-lifetime song that immediately

put Freya on the map, the heartbreak hit which was synched 16 times for TV and film, including high-profile

placements in the US on “American Idol” and “Grey’s Anatomy” went on to chart in the Top 10 on seven separate

occasions during a six-month run in the Top 40.

With the release of her highly anticipated self-titled debut album landing in July this year, Freya went on to

complete her biggest UK tour to date, performing to more than 23,000 people, including over 5,000 in London

alone. While ‘Lost Without You’ established Freya’s rising star status, it was the strength of her live shows that

first earned her a word-of-mouth fanbase – as captured in her early live recordings “Live At Omeara” and “Live At

St. Pancras Old Church”. Every tour has seen Freya rise to play bigger venues, most recently with a sold-out

London show at The Roundhouse.

Aside from touring relentlessly, Freya has also performed huge festival sets at Glastonbury’s John Peel Stage,

Isle of Wight Festival, Latitude, the BBC Summer Social, Wilderness Festival and Electric Picnic. Early live

reviews stated: “Each song and every lyric was delivered impeccably and with heart, demonstrating there was

real angst and emotion entwined within those words,” (The Independent).

Her debut album features previously released singles ‘Lost Without You’, ‘You Mean The World To Me’, ‘Blackout’

and ‘Castles’, with Freya writing all of the eleven songs that feature on the album, underpinning her world class

credentials as a songwriter. In an era in which hits are inevitably written by committee, ‘Lost Without You’ saw

Freya become the first female artist to have an entirely self-written Top 10 hit since Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That

Hill’ returned to the charts in 2012.

As an artist who frequently explores themes of doubt, pain, regret and vulnerability within songs of alchemical

incandescence, Freya’s extraordinary, vibrato-rich voice elevates them into her greatness – a vocal gift that’s

undoubtedly one of the most powerful voices of her generation and one which Australian audiences will finally

experience live this March.
