Award-winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ruby Gill returned with her long-awaited sophomore album, Some Kind of Control, on March 28, 2025. An anthemic, choir-laced, poetic epic featuring Angie McMahon, Annie-Rose Maloney, Hannah McKittrick and more, the album is, in Gill’s words, “looser, gayer, and even more raw.” To celebrate, she’s bringing its ten body-focused, politically rich, and deeply intimate songs on a national tour across Australia in 2025, performing in the country’s finest venues alongside some of our most exciting artists.
The Joburg-born, Naarm-based artist's first tour leg was a total sellout, lighting up packed rooms all along the East Coast. Now, she’s back with the second leg, hitting northern NSW and QLD—don’t miss your chance to catch her live.
Widely adored for her ability to stun a room into hear-a-pin-drop silence with unforgettably honest - and wryly humorous - offerings that can bring even the most cynical to tears, Ruby Gill has been turning heads and ears with 2018 single ‘Your Mum' (2018) which garnered millions of streams and a full add to triple j in its first week, and 'you should do this for a living' (2021) which earned Gill the title of triple j Unearthed Feature Artist, Internationally acclaimed debut album 'I'm gonna die with this frown on my face' (2022) was nominated for an Australian Music Prize and Best Folk Work at the Music Victoria Awards, and the Sunday Times' coveted 'Breaking Act.'
Now, the highly-anticipated Some Kind Of Control has landed with a resounding welcome, debuting on the ARIA charts at #26 in Australian Albums and #5 in Australian Country (Ruby thinks this is a bit random, but she'll take it), and garnering Double J's Feature Album, FAR OUT's Album of the Week, Rolling Stone's Best New Australian Music and charting radio support across the US, UK and Australia.
Over the next few months, Ruby Gill is ready to take her boldest work yet to the stage. Don’t miss her live in 2025.
