Sarah Blasko - I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain 2025 Regional Tour
On the eve of her final weekend of the I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain album tour, revered 3x Platinum and 3x ARIA Award-winning singer, songwriter, musician and producer Sarah Blasko today announces an extended 24-date regional tour this February through April throughout NSW, VIC, QLD and ACT - her first regional tour since 2017 (full dates below) - including already-announced shows at Bundanon, Queenscliff Town Hall, and Her Majesty’s Theatre (Wadawurrung/Ballarat). Tickets to Sarah Blasko’s regional tour are on sale 9am (local) tomorrow, Friday 13 December, from sarahblasko.com, with special guests to be announced. Sarah Blasko is touring in celebration of her seventh solo album I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain which debuted at #6 on the ARIA Australian Album Chart and was crowned Double J Feature Album. It traces the inevitability of painful goodbyes in all their forms and the final acceptance that follows a period of grief, and sees Sarah Blasko firmly in the present as she searches for the light that comes with new beginnings. In their glowing album review, MOJO named it “her defining album so far” with Rolling Stone Australia sharing that “from the top, she takes us to church, confesses, hollows us out, refills our cups” in their 4-star review. Blasko’s much-loved and highly acclaimed live show takes the album to a simultaneously more expansive and intimate place - watch a selection of tracks recorded live from the ABC Studios for a special Double J and triple j edition of Live at the Wireless. I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain was released alongside a video suite that aired in full on rage as part of her Guest Program last month. A collection of technicolour dreamscapes made by SPOD, he used both analogue and digital techniques to manipulate footage that Sarah Blasko filmed alongside photographer Wilk, and lighting designer Bazz Barrett, in a few fun days at the Richard Wherrett Studio on Gadigal Land in Sydney last year. I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain is an album of late night reflections on goodbyes, grief, new beginnings, and an important friendship that underpinned Sarah Blasko’s childhood, and finds one of Australia’s most revered songwriters more reflective and more personal than ever before. It was recorded at Rancom Street Studios in Eora/Sydney with engineer Brent Clark, produced by Sarah Blasko and mixed by Kenny Gilmore (Weyes Blood, Julia Holter, Ariel Pink), and marked a new approach to writing and recording from that of her earlier records - “This album was probably the most relaxed and free feeling record I’ve made” - while thematically traversing both the heartbreak and quiet calm that comes with letting go of your younger self, how thin the line between tragedy and comedy becomes the older we get, and the way that time changes ourselves, our hopes and our dreams. Despite roaming some big subject matter, I Just Need to Conquer This Mountain is a declaration of positivity and hope amidst the difficulty of life, one that recognises the duality in all things, and pushes forward into the light. Sarah Blasko is as expansive as she is prolific, writing songs that strike with rare immediacy, clarity and purpose. Across a discography of six solo albums - Depth of Field (2018), Eternal Return (2015), I Awake (2012), As Day Follows Night (2009), What The Sea Wants, The Sea Will Have (2006) and The Overture & the Underscore (2004) - and two albums with Holly Throsby and Sally Seltmann as Seeker Lover Keeper - Seeker, Lover, Keeper (2011) and Wild Seeds (2019) - four albums have reached Platinum Sales Status with six debuts in the ARIA Top 10. Sarah Blasko is a three-time ARIA Award winner, 18x ARIA Award nominee, has won the J Award for Australian Album of the Year, and three-times shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize. Her cover of Cold Chisel’s ‘Flame Trees’ (2004) had a resurgence when it was featured in Season 2 of Netflix’s Heartbreak High, spawning a remix by Cub Sport released this June. Sarah Blasko composed the music for Bell Shakespeare’s productions of Twelfth Night (2023) and Hamlet (2008), Sydney Dance Company’s Emergence (2013), has been praised by the likes of Sir Elton John on his visit to James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke.
