Tove Lo is heading back down under in March 2027, bringing her newly announced ESTRUS tour to Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.
And in true Tove Lo fashion, she’s already set expectations accordingly.
Tove Lo – ‘DNH’
“I love going down under. Australia I’m coming back!” the Swedish pop provocateur said in a statement.
“It’s gonna be sweatier, dirtier and more emotional than ever… love u xxx.”
The Australian run will celebrate the release of Tove Lo’s sixth studio album ESTRUS, which is set to land worldwide on Friday, 18th September.
The record takes its name from the term for a female mammal being in heat, and finds Tove Lo diving further into the raw, sexually charged and emotionally exposed pop world she’s built across her career.
Inspired by artists including The Knife and Robyn, ESTRUS was recorded with longtime collaborator Ludvig Söderberg, alongside Elvira Anderfjärd and Luka Kloser, and also features a collaboration with Stromae.
Parts of the album were recorded in Los Angeles and Stockholm, as well as a small Swedish fishing village where Tove Lo spent summers as a child and previously worked on Dirt Femme.
Returning there brought up plenty of old emotional baggage, with the singer recalling “growing up, being depressed, struggling with my eating disorder, going through breakups, family drama, loss, everything”.
Fans heading along to the Australian shows can expect new ESTRUS cuts including I’m Your Girl Right?, des fleurs and DNH, alongside a back catalogue stacked with hits including Habits (Stay High), Talking Body, Cool Girl, Disco Tits and Glad He’s Gone.
Joining Tove Lo across all four Australian dates will be rising local pop artist SALTY, who has been building momentum off the back of debut EP the other side and singles including See U In 3, Touch Grass and The Eye.
The ESTRUS tour will kick off at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Monday, 1st March before heading to Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.
