The Frontier Touring Company are delighted to confirm the rescheduled tour dates for Amanda Palmer & the Grand Theft Orchestra’s tour of Australia and New Zealand.
The band have postponed the majority of their upcoming show dates globally so that Amanda is able to stay in Boston with her best friend Anthony, who has cancer and is now in treatment with an uncertain outcome. Amanda Palmer & the Grand Theft Orchestra will now be touring our countries in September 2013.

The Frontier Touring Company is thrilled to be bringing the talented, passionate and provocative performer Amanda Palmer and her Grand Theft Orchestra Down Under for a set of shows that are set to tear the house down. Palmer’s latest offering Theatre Is Evil (out now through 8ft. Records/Inertia), is her first new studio album in four years and debuted at #10 in the Billboard 200 charts. Working with a full band for the first time: The Grand Theft Orchestra, featuring Michael McQuilken, Chad Raines and Jeherek Bischoff, the album was recorded in Melbourne and takes listeners on a journey into Palmer’s magnificent mind and perfectly honed songwriting craft.
Be quick to grab your tickets for a run of performances that are set to be equal parts burlesque show, punk rock concert and one of the best nights of your life.

The Christchurch earthquake almost kept Amanda Palmer from getting to Auckland. It was only due to a late plane that Palmer missed being caught in Christchurch on Tuesday when the deadly quake hit. Instead she played a ninja show in Napier and arrived in Auckland at 8pm on Wednesday, just hours before she hit the stage at the Kings Arms.
