Josh Pyke announces Feeding The Wolves and Other Stories – 20th Anniversary Australian Tour for November 2025
20 Jun 2025Frontier Touring is excited to announce one of Australia’s most cherished songwriters, Josh Pyke, will return to stages across the country in November 2025 with Feeding the Wolves and Other Stories – a special national tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of his debut EP release. Feeding the Wolves will also be made available on vinyl for the very first time and all copies will be signed by Josh. It is available to pre-order now via Mushroom Music and will be released on October 24.
Over the past two decades, Josh has carved out a remarkable career defined by introspective lyricism, unforgettable melodies, and masterful storytelling. With seven studio albums, all debuting in the ARIA Top 10, four ARIA Awards, and countless nominations, his songs have become part of the Australian musical landscape.
“21 years ago, I was working in a record store, chipping away at demos for a solo project, and dreaming of being a full-time musician. One year later I signed with Ivy League records, released Feeding the Wolves, and my entire life changed.
I remember playing the Sydney leg of the Big Day Out in 2005 and seeing the crowd trickle in during my set until it was at capacity by the end. The same day ‘Middle of the Hill’ entered the Hottest 100 at number 19, and I pretty much hit the road touring and never stopped.
FTW was nominated for an ARIA that same year, and suddenly I was sitting at a table pinching myself, surrounded by artists who’s records I’d been selling at the store the year before. I was signed to Island records in the UK and Europe and started heading back and forth across the world touring in the UK, mixing records in New York and playing festivals like Glastonbury.
It was a wild time, and I feel like it’s only now that I can reflect on it with a bit of distance. This 20-year period has been the craziest whirlwind and the biggest adventure I could have ever imagined. I can’t wait to play the songs and tell the stories that kicked that adventure off to celebrate a career that I’m immensely grateful for, and incredibly proud of.” - Josh Pyke
Fresh from a UK and EU tour and recent performances with legends like James Taylor and Passenger, Josh will bring an intimate, stripped-back set to Australian audiences – a heartfelt, career-spanning journey from one of the country's finest voices.
Don’t miss your chance to revisit and relive the early songs that launched Josh’s career, alongside a hand-picked selection of stories and songs that span his rich catalogue. Tickets for the tour will go on sale Wednesday 25 June from 3pm local time via frontiertouring.com/joshpyke. Frontier Members can get early access to tickets in their presale from Monday 23 June at 1pm local time. Fans will also have the chance to purchase a signed copy of Feeding the Wolves on vinyl with their ticket purchase.
