Keli Holiday is bringing his ARIA-topping album Capital Fiction to Newcastle, locking in a high-energy stop at King Street as part of his newly announced regional Australian tour.
The run of shows gives fans the rare chance to experience Capital Fiction up close, the album that not only topped the ARIA Australian Albums Chart but also delivered the breakout hit Dancing2, which stormed to No. 2 in triple j’s Hottest 100 and returned to No. 1 on the ARIA Australian Singles Chart.
With momentum like that, the Newcastle show is shaping up to be one of the hottest tickets of the season.
Holiday has described the live show as a space to let loose, lean into the chaos, and sweat it out, a fitting match for an album built on big emotion and even bigger energy.
Capital Fiction taps into the messier corners of love, heartbreak, desire, and rock ’n’ roll, channelling both the sting and the euphoria of falling flat on your face and getting back up again.
While the record includes high-octane moments (including a cheeky nod to The Presets in Plastic), it also sees Holiday embracing vulnerability through tender tracks like Sacred Sweat and the album-closing ballad Favourite Stranger.
The regional run follows a packed start to the year, with headline shows in major cities and a North American stint taking him through LA, Chicago, Toronto, and Brooklyn.
Now, he’s turning his focus to regional stages, ensuring fans outside the capitals get the full force of his new show.
Keli Holiday will play King Street Bandroom, Newcastle, on Saturday, 30 May 2026. You can find out more and grab your tickets by heading to our Gig Guide.
