Kim Churchill is hitting the road in support of his upcoming album, It’s Lovely To Have You Here. Arriving Friday, October 11 (pre-order here), Churchill has announced an epic 50+ date tour to celebrate the release that sees him perform in big cities and regional towns across the country from December to June.
The ‘Windows To the Sky’ singer-songwriter is performing both solo shows and festival gigs throughout Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, Queensland and the ACT.
Speaking about the tour, Churchill says: “I am so excited to be heading home! I’ve been loving life in my camper vans in both Europe and North America. Touring the world these past few years has been one of the coolest experiences of my life.
“But I miss home! I miss my shows in the bush surrounded by the sound of Australian birds – so I’ve spent the last 6 months working on the biggest and most beautiful tour of Australia I’ve ever set out on! And no name could be more appropriate than The Lovely Tour.”
Tickets for all shows are available now via Kim Churchill’s website.

Churchill’s monstrous Australian tour is in support of his upcoming seventh album, It’s Lovely To Have You Here. So far Churchill has shared the album singles ‘Wonder’, ‘Calm The Sea’, ‘Hobbies’ and ‘Reflecting’, which features the dulcet tones of Emily Brimlow.
First picking up a guitar at age four, Churchill began busking during his youth before breaking through with his 2010 debut single, ‘Loving Home’. He’s gone on to release six albums – With Sword and Shield/Kim Churchill (2010), Detail of Distance (20120, Into the Steel (2013), Silence/Win (2014), Weight Falls (2017) and Dawn Sounds (2022) – and performed at some of the biggest festival in the world, including Bluesfest Byron Bay, Montreal International Jazz Festival and South By Southwest.
Having just completed a tour of Canada, Churchill is set to embark on a European tour throughout October and November before returning home in December for the start of The Lovely Tour.
