Dirty Three

The Australian band return for a rare live performance. For their first real tour in over 12 years, they'll bring their unmistakable raw, lyrical, and unpredictable sound. 

Formed in Melbourne in 1992, Warren Ellis (violin), Mick Turner (guitar), and Jim White (drums) have spent over three decades crafting a distinctive, mostly instrumental sound driven by emotion. Drawing on rock, folk, jazz, and improvisation, their music shifts between restraint and intensity, creating emotionally charged landscapes that breathe, sigh, and soar. 

Their 2024 album Love Changes Everything is a testament to their passion which is raw, unfussy, and beautifully honest. They have spent over 30 years redefining instrumental music with their unmistakable chemistry and emotional force. From festival stages to film scores, they’ve built a reputation for live shows that are powerful, poetic and completely their own. Experience a night shaped by sound and feeling, where three musicians create music without words.
