San Francisco’s pop shapeshifter underscores, also known as April Harper Grey, is making her much-anticipated return to Australian shores this December. Following the release of her third album, 'U', which has racked up over 80 million streams globally, she’ll hit stages in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney. This tour demonstrates her evolution from teenage SoundCloud uploads to a full-blown genre demolition exercise, blending hyperpop, alt-pop, and more.

On December 11, she’ll perform at the Princess Theatre in Brisbane, followed by a show on December 14 at 170 Russell in Melbourne and wrapping up on December 17 at Metro Theatre in Sydney. Each show will feature the talented producer and DJ umru, whose own distinct sound bridges the gap between underground electronics and mainstream pop.

underscores is not just a live act; she’s also a festival darling, sharing stages with big names like 100 gecs and Porter Robinson at international festivals such as Coachella and Lollapalooza. Her performance at the Meredith Music Festival during her Australian tour will only add to her growing reputation.

Tickets for the tour are set to go on presale for Frontier Members on August 26, with general tickets available from August 28. This is a moment for fans to witness a transformative live show that promises to be as bold and boundary-pushing as her music.
