Concert Cancelled: Yann Tiersen

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are sad and sorry to advise that Yann Tiersen’s 2023 Australian Tour has been cancelled.

A message from Yann Tiersen and his team:
‘Sadly due to the escalating costs of touring in 2023, we are forced to cancel Yann’s shows in Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. We had hoped to extend the tour to include dates in New Zealand and Asia but unfortunately it was not possible to do so at this time.’

Together with Yann Tiersen, we are very sorry for any disappointment this concert cancellation may cause.

Ticketholders are entitled to a full refund through their original point of purchase. All refunds will be processed automatically. If you have any questions or concerns about this concert cancellation, please contact our Box Office team at boxoffice@melbournerecital.com.au

Event details

Experience the compositional genius and sonic evolution of Tiersen’s sound.

Celebrated Breton composer and multi-instrumentalist Yann Tiersen returns to Australia for the first time in more than five years, bringing an immersive electronic performance in support of his acclaimed new album, 11 5 18 2 5 18 (Mute, 2022), which reimagines his back catalogue into a completely new body of work.

His performance in Elisabeth Murdoch Hall will see Tiersen resample, reprogram and resynthesise his recent works to create a dazzling audio-visual live experience, accompanied by the stunning visuals of UK artist Sam Wiehl.

Experience the sonic evolution of Tiersen’s sound – a progression from his beloved early albums, well-known acoustic compositions and expansive Dust Lane (Mute, 2010) era – into the ecstatic electronic wizardry of his latest work.

This multi-dimensional live show brings listeners into new sonic spaces and transforms Tiersen’s compositional genius to dizzying dancefloor heights.

With Special Guest

Yann Tiersen will be supported by QUINQUIS.

Praise for Yann Tiersen

‘As always, it’s exquisitely wrought, but this time with salient nods to the dancefloor. How unexpected – and decidedly glorious.’ Electric Sound
