*RESCHEDULED JANUARY – FEBRUARY 2022*

Due to the ongoing global situation, Billy Bragg’s upcoming 2021 tour has been postponed. New dates and venues can be found below. All ticket bundles in all cities will be honoured. New tickets will go on sale on Monday 16 November at 12pm Local.

Sydney patrons: this show has been upgraded to the Enmore Theatre. All previously purchased tickets have been allocated a seated ticket, either on the floor or on the upper balcony. However, if you would like to change for a General Admission standing ticket, or if you require special needs seating, please contact the Enmore Theatre at boxoffice@century.com.au by Monday 16 November, 9AM AEDT and they can switch it for you free of charge, until allocation is exhausted.

Dunedin Patrons: It is with disappointment that we must announce that Billy Bragg’s scheduled performance for Dunedin cannot be rescheduled and must be cancelled. Christchurch will now be Billy’s exclusive South Island performance.

If you have purchased tickets to Dunedin, you do not need to do anything. These will be refunded to the same bank account of which you made the purchase. If you had previously purchased tickets to Dunedin and would like to attend Billy Bragg’s Christchurch show instead, contact support@nonstoptix.com to receive an exclusive $20 discount on Christchurch tickets.

If you are unable to attend your new performance date listed below, contact your point of purchase.

Handsome Tours is thrilled to announce that Billy Bragg will be returning for a very special tour entitled “One Step Forward. Two Steps Back.” In each city Bragg will perform three unique shows on consecutive nights.

NIGHT 1
Career Spanning Billy Bragg Set

NIGHT 2
Songs From First Three Albums
‘Life’s a Riot with Spy Vs Spy’ (1983)
‘Brewing Up with Billy Bragg (1984)’
‘Talking with the Taxman about Poetry’ (1986)

NIGHT 3
Songs From Second Three Albums
‘Workers Playtime’ (1988)
‘Don’t Try This at Home’ (1991)
‘William Bloke’ (1996)

The first night’s performance will feature Bragg’s current set, which ranges across his 35 year career. The second will see Bragg perform songs from his first three albums: his punk rock debut Life’s a Riot with Spy Vs Spy (1983), its similarly raw follow-up Brewing Up with Billy Bragg (1984) and Talking with the Taxman about Poetry (1986). The third performance will see Bragg perform songs from his second three albums: the positively jangled Workers Playtime (1988), the pop classic Don’t Try This at Home (1991) and the back-to-basics William Bloke (1996).

Says Billy: “After more than three decades of travelling around the world in a van, or spending all day flying vast distances to play a gig, I’m looking forward to having some time to explore cities that I usually only get to see between the soundcheck and the show. And this three night stand format is a way of keeping things interesting, both for me and the audience. I tried it out in Auckland recently and had a lot of fun revisiting my back pages.”

Billy Bragg has been a fearless recording artist, tireless live performer and peerless political campaigner for over 35 years. Politicised by a Tory government operating without love or justice, this previously adrift young man from Barking, whose failure at national exams had reduced his career opportunities to two, eventually bought himself out of the British Army in 1981 (‘the best £175 I ever spent’), determined to make a living out of song.

Don’t miss the orator, entertainer, rabble-rouser, negotiator, pamphleteer, the fabled ‘Bard of Barking’, Billy Bragg, across three extraordinary evenings.
