Heilung returns to Australia and New Zealand for seven-date ritual in March 2027

The Ritual Returns! 

HEILUNG Announce Monumental Australian & New Zealand Tour For March 2027

In March 2027, Heilung will bring their extraordinary live experience back to Australia and New Zealand for a monumental seven date tour, including two very special performances at the iconic Sydney Opera House, Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Adelaide’s AEC, Brisbane's Riverstage, Auckland's Spark Arena and Perth’s Red Hill Auditorium.

Their live rituals are extraordinary spectacles. An ensemble of warriors, elaborate costumes, ancient instruments, incense, hypnotic percussion and powerful vocal performances combine to create an experience that feels less like attending a concert and more like stepping thousands of years back in time. It is theatre, music and ritual, yet it is something that exists beyond all three. It is amplified history in its truest form, live and felt with all human senses. 

Since emerging in 2015, Heilung have defied musical convention. Describing their work as "amplified history", the collective draw upon the sounds, traditions and spiritual practices of early civilisations to create an extraordinary world of hypnotic percussion, haunting vocals, throat singing, ancient instruments and powerful visual ceremony. An ensemble of warriors, elaborate costumes, ritualistic movements and atmospheric soundscapes transform the stage into something that feels removed from the present day. 

Every ritual begins with an ancient prayer, led by founding member Kai Uwe Faust, before the collective, including vocalist Maria Franz and producer Christopher Juul, transport their audience into a world where the boundaries between performer and spectator, past and present, awake and dreaming, begin to disappear.

As Faust explains, the philosophy behind Heilung reaches far beyond music. "With singing these primordial songs we want to give tribute to these cultures, reconnect to the beginnings and remember that we all, from East to West, from past to present, are connected through the exchange of ideas and inspiring each other."

Heilung's creative journey continues beyond the stage, including their collaboration with video game developer Ninja Theory on Senua's Saga: Hellblade II. That collaboration has given rise to Sagas, a collection of recordings created for and inspired by the game, including previously unheard material that reveals another dimension of their unmistakable sound.

Joining Heilung for all performances outside Sydney is German-American singer-songwriter
Lilith Max, whose enchanting blend of dark folklore, mythology and fantasy brings ancient tales and imagined worlds to life. Lilith Max creates her own spellbinding musical world, making her a fitting companion to Heilung's extraordinary rituals.

Following a period of hiatus, the collective returned to the studio in late 2026 to begin work on their highly anticipated fourth studio album, with new music set to herald the next chapter in their remarkable musical evolution.

With their extraordinary rituals returning to our stages, March 2027 promises to be another monumental chapter in Heilung's story.  For those yet to witness one, words can only convey so much. Some things simply have to be experienced.
