John Butler is an icon of Australian music and one of the country’s most celebrated independent voices. He has spent more than two decades carving out a career defined by authenticity, activism, and artistry. Now, with a renewed creative spark, he returns to the UK this month for three exclusive shows, and fans are in for something truly special.
Fresh from releasing his acclaimed new solo album PRISM, Butler is stepping boldly into a new chapter. Known for his powerful performances and mastery of stringed instruments, he’s long fused earthy grooves with openhearted storytelling. But with PRISM, he’s gone deeper, exploring new sonic territory while staying true to the spirit that made him a household name.
Co-produced with James Ireland (POND, San Cisco), PRISM is a kaleidoscope of sound and emotion; fierce guitars meet soaring choruses, and introspective lyrics sit beside an undeniable groove. It’s both a reflection of Butler’s evolution and a celebration of his freedom as a solo artist.
From busking on the streets of Fremantle to commanding festival stages around the world, Butler has always brought soul, sincerity, and a deep sense of purpose to his music. His upcoming UK dates promise to be no exception, a vibrant mix of storytelling, musicianship, and raw energy that only he can deliver.
With PRISM, John Butler shines brighter than ever, a true artist continually refracting his life, his sound, and his truth through new light.
