Eight-time GRAMMY winner Beck brings his Ride Lonesome Tour to Melbourne for a special one-off performance at Margaret Court Arena on Thursday 18 February.
Following the ecstatic reception to his 15th studio album Ride Lonesome, Beck returns to Melbourne fresh from an extensive sold-out North American tour, with performances at iconic venues including Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, Massey Hall in Toronto and New York’s Brooklyn Paramount.
One of modern music’s most inventive and celebrated songwriters, Beck returns delivering a full-scale band show centred around his latest album, his first collection of all-new material since 2019’s Hyperspace. Produced by Beck and mixed by longtime collaborator Nigel Godrich, Ride Lonesome was met with widespread acclaim, the album signalling what many fans have welcomed as a return to the beautiful, introspective sonic landscapes of landmark records Sea Change and Morning Phase.
Don’t miss the chance to experience one of music’s true originals in Melbourne, for one night only.

Californian alternative icon and pop polymath Beck is known for his genre-defying approach to music, with each new release exploring a different creative direction. His 1994 lo-fi rap and folk anthem “Loser” brought him widespread attention, but Beck quickly moved beyond one-hit-wonder expectations with a boundary-pushing body of work that has continued to evolve over several decades.
Beck had a creative breakthrough with 1996’s Odelay, blending crate-dug samples with elements of funk, soul, hip-hop, blues and lounge music. He continued to move between styles, from the soul-infused Midnite Vultures to the melancholy Sea Change, while exploring the space between satire and sincerity on releases including Modern Guilt (2008). His achievements include a GRAMMY Award for Album of the Year for Morning Phase (2015), alongside collaborations spanning a wide range of artists.
