Courtney Barnett returns to the UK this spring with a run of intimate live dates to coincide with the release of her fourth studio album, Creature of Habit.

Released on 27 March 2026 via Fiction Records, the album marks Barnett’s first full studio record in five years, following Things Take Time, Take Time (2021). Written during a period of personal and professional transition — including a move from Melbourne to Los Angeles and the closure of her long-running label Milk! Records — Creature of Habit explores themes of uncertainty, reinvention and emotional habit.

One of Australia’s most distinctive musical voices, Barnett is known for her sharply observed lyrics, dry humour and guitar-led sound. These UK shows offer a rare opportunity to hear new material alongside fan favourites in smaller venues across the country.
