Australia and New Zealand will welcome two of the most distinctive voices in the Nordic music world when **Eivør** and **Sylvaine (solo)** join forces for an unforgettable tour across both countries in **March 2026**.

Following a triumphant, sold-out tour of **Europe** and a critically praised run across the **United States** earlier this year, Faroese singer, composer and sonic alchemist **Eivør Pálsdóttir** returns to this part of the world with her **first-ever headline tour** of Australia and New Zealand.

Audiences may remember her breathtaking performances as the opening act for **Heilung’s debut tour** in 2024 shows that left thousands spellbound and eager for more. Now, Eivør returns centre stage with a full-scale live production, bringing her signature blend of primal rhythms, folk mysticism, and cinematic grandeur.

Joining her is the ethereal force of **Sylvaine** (Kathrine Shepard), a Norwegian composer and multi-instrumentalist whose sound has been described as a bridge between the sacred and the storm. Her 2022 album *Nova* solidified her as a leading figure in the black-gaze and atmospheric Nordic music scenes.

*Sylvaine*

From the windswept cliffs of **Syðrugøta** in the Faroe Islands to Netflix screens across the globe, Eivør’s voice has carried far. Her music features heavily in the soundtrack of the global hit series *The Last Kingdom* and has accumulated nearly **1 billion streams** worldwide. With **ten studio albums**, collaborations with artists like **Ásgeir**, **John Grant**, **Einar Selvik (Wardruna)** and **Dan Heath (Lana Del Rey)**, and the prestigious **2021 Nordic Council Music Prize** under her belt, she continues to rise as one of the most powerful and emotive live performers of our time.

This tour is not just a concert it’s a **ritual**, a **homecoming**, and a **shared experience** for lovers of Nordic sonic traditions. If you’re a fan of **Heilung**, **Wardruna**, or the broader spectrum of spiritual, genre-defying folk, this will be your sanctuary.

**Two artists. One unmissable experience.**  
A journey for those longing to reconnect with the ancient, the wild, and the deeply human.

**Don’t miss the most transcendent tour of 2026.**
