KT Tunstall will return to Australia and New Zealand in May 2026 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her groundbreaking multi-million-selling debut album, "Eye To The Telescope".

The Rock Pit’s review says it all "every song in its own right deserves to be on household playlists. The happiness and joy Tunstall radiates while playing is captivating, there’s is a true art in her craft of songwriting. Tunstall’s energy is simply infectious."

Eye To The Telescope remains an iconic and beloved record that has become a landmark moment of British music in the 2000's. Released in December 2004, it took over the world with hits like “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” and “Suddenly I See”. 

“Suddenly I See” became the song of a generation when it was featured during the opening scene of The Devil Wears Prada and led her to win the iconic Ivor Novello Award. 

The tracks, “Universe & U” and “Other Side of the World” also found their way into the public consciousness as part of the hugely popular TV series Grey’s Anatomy and helped the album to reach and incredible 4 million sales around the world.

KT Tunstall live on stage is a force. Her shows are electric; loop pedals, powerful vocals and an engaging stage presence that makes everyone in the crowd feel like she is singing directly to them. Her raw, real energy and humour consistently see her receive rave reviews. With universal critical acclaim and a slew of awards, KT has become one of the most respected singer-songwriters of the modern era. 

Reflecting on the albums milestone, KT says: “When I made my very first record, Eye To The Telescope, it never crossed my mind where I might be when it turned 20. It was a fantastically scrappy album to make, with very little money and a handful of musician friends. Over the years. I’ve been told the most amazing stories of what these songs mean to people all over the world, how they have kept them company through love and loss, through being lost and getting found. Needless to say, it’s been a beautiful thrill.”

Experience that beautiful thrill when KT tours in May. Do not miss these special shows.
