Award-winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ruby Gill returns with her long-awaited sophomore album, ‘Some Kind of Control’, out March 28, 2025. An anthemic, choir-laced, poetic epic, the album is, in Gill’s words, “looser, gayer, and even more raw.” To celebrate, she’s bringing its ten body-focused, politically rich, and deeply intimate songs on a national tour across Australia in 2025, performing in the country’s finest venues alongside some of our most exciting artists.  

Widely adored for her ability to stun a room into hear-a-pin-drop silence with unforgettably honest – and wryly humorous – offerings that can bring even the most cynical to tears, Ruby Gill has gone from strength to strength since turning heads and ears with 2018 single ‘Your Mum' (2018) which garnered millions of streams and a full add to triple j in its first week, and 'you should do this for a living' (2021; featuring backing vocals from Angie McMahon and Maple Glider) earned Gill the title of triple j Unearthed Feature Artist, with strong playlisting support across Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon.

Internationally acclaimed debut album I'm gonna die with this frown on my face (2022) debuted at #5 on the AIR Independent Album charts and was nominated for an Australian Music Prize and Best Folk Work at the Music Victoria Awards that same year. The following year on November 7, Gill shared a heartfelt tribute to Palestine on her socials in her poem-turned-song 'Resistance looks like the sun on you', returning to official releases with the forthcoming album’s lilting title track exactly one year later in 2024.

Tickets are free, available via ballot only.
