AT THE COLISEUM
EMILY FESZCZUK
Award winning singer-songwriter
Kate Miller-Heidke will
be going back in time for her
long awaited ‘Child in Reverse
Tour’ later this year.
The classically trained pop star will bring
some new material and old favourites to
Sydney Coliseum Theatre at West HQ.
Releasing her fifth studio album of the
same name last year, Kate told Parra News
she is ready to get on the road from the end
of September.
“It’s been a long time coming, this tour
was supposed to happen a year ago so I
can’t wait to play some of these new songs,
many of which we have never played live,”
Kate said.
While the pandemic is clouding the
planned shows, Kate is keeping her fingers
crossed everything goes ahead as planned.
“Just on a more basic level to be in a room
with real live humans is something I will
never take for granted again and I think it
will be pretty emotional for me,” she said.
Becoming a mother to her son Ernie inspired
Kate to write what she says is her
most “personal record”, with themes of
childhood.
“Something that was at the forefront of
my mind when I was writing these songs
is that you are quite vulnerable as a child
and what happens to you can then resonate
your whole life,” she said.
“Some songs on this record are about
childhood trauma which makes it sound
not fun to listen to but I promise there are
fun poppy songs on there.
“I am a fan of having sad lyrics but
wrapped up in a sort of feel good package.”
Being joined by a talented six-piece
band, Kate said the shows later this year
will include a mix of songs with some magic
thrown in.
“There will be an element of a greatest
hits tour, obviously we will play stuff off
the new record and people are requesting
things which is great so it will be a balance
of kind of old and new,” she said.
“For me playing live has been at the centre
of what I do and I love it… it is important
for me to be entertaining, to take people
on a journey, have some humour, and
story telling at the heart of it.”
Be entertained by Kate Miller-Heidke’s
unique musical style and experience the
drama she brings on stage for yourself.
Tickets are on sale now for the planned
tour.
Kate Miller-Heidke will be on at Sydney
Coliseum Theatre in Rooty Hill on Saturday,
October 16. Tickets are from $79.90.
