Julia Jacklin

On 13 February 2027, Julia Jacklin plays Birmingham Town Hall. Raised in the Blue Mountains and first shaped by the Sydney scene, the Australian singer-songwriter moves between indie folk, indie rock and a light touch of alt-country. Her songs keep the voice close and the arrangements measured: guitar at the centre, melodies that breathe, words that follow everyday details, relationships and the quiet edges of vulnerability.

After early steps with Salta and the trio Phantastic Ferniture, she launched her solo path with Don’t Let the Kids Win (2016), then sharpened the narrative pull on Crushing (2019), before widening the frame on Pre Pleasure (2022), recorded in Montreal. On stage, these chapters meet without fuss: intimate storytelling, moments of tension, and a clear sense of space. The set draws across her catalogue, letting the dynamics shift from hushed confession to firmer, guitar-led contours. Guests join the bill, but the night stays focused on Jacklin’s songwriting, direct and unadorned, carried by a voice that doesn’t need much to land.
