“AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND!!!!! I am soooo excited to finally meet you guys and bring in a new year with new friends,” she says.

“I’ve been counting down the days until we get to hang…. LET’S DANCE AND HAVE THE BEST TIME EVER!”

With a reputation as a fierce live performer, Wolf has sold out rooms around the world and garnered praise from fans and critics alike. Her recent performance of ‘Liz’ on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon shows off Wolf’s vocal prowess in full force.

Audiences ‘immediate response’ to her talent instilled in Wolf a sense of confidence that carried her through music school and into a post-grad stint gracing local Los Angeles venues. “Before I really fell in love with writing, I loved performing,” says Remi. “That’s always been my home base, it lights something up in my soul that is never lit up at any other time in my life. It’s a very powerful thing — the most expressive I feel like I will ever get.”

Making waves with her 2019 track ‘Guy’, Wolf garnered attention from indie-pop darling Still Woozy and scored a spot opening on their tour. Three critically acclaimed EP’s followed – You’re A Dog, I’m Allergic To Dogs and We Love Dogs! — mostly created in makeshift studios with her co-producer Jared Soloman and limited gear. Apple would later recruit Wolf to soundtrack an iPhone commercial, and she’d receive major co-signs from the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, SZA, John Mayer, Dominic Fike and more.

With her debut album Juno (2021), Wolf dabbles in funk, pop, indie, punk, dance and everything in between. NME applauded the offering as “funk pop at its brightest and boldest” and Pitchfork describing it as “an effervescent, hook-filled record that flirts with weighty emotions… every ounce of sunshine is tempered by grit”.

The project marked the first time Wolf has had the resources to outsource the more technical elements of the production process, as well as access to high quality equipment; an adjustment for a self-proclaimed DIY artist.

Her euphoric live set is an experience to behold, the 26-year-old talking candidly about mental health, sobriety, social anxiety and more, but turning it into a celebration and exuding absolute star power.

Tickets go on sale Friday 4 November (12 noon local time).
