New date for The Teaches of Peaches tour announced

Thank you Wellington! Wellington has kicked Auckland's ticket-buying butt with a sold-out Wednesday show, so we're announcing a second date at MEOW!

“Godmother to “WAP”” (CBC), feminist icon and pop provocateur Peaches’ returns with an additional leg of The Teaches of Peaches Anniversary Tour after a string of wildly successful, sold-out shows across North America, Europe and the UK. A celebration of the 20th anniversary of Peaches’ seminal The Teaches of Peaches, she will be performing the album in its entirety across Australia and New Zealand including Mona Foma and World Pride festival dates. In addition, Peaches is currently working on a brand-new album, with more details to come.

At her live performances, Peaches turns the stage into her personal playground. With outrageous costuming and provocative choreography, The Guardian calls her shows a “joyous, gender-mashing cabaret” and “a dazzling mix of ingenuity and high drama.” 

Peaches says of the upcoming tour, “So incredibly happy to announce the continuation of The Teaches of Peaches Anniversary Tour into 2023! I can’t wait to celebrate, with you all, 20 years of and reimagine the power that is The Teaches of Peaches album live across Australia and New Zealand.  We’re ready for you down under!!!! Show us your map of Taz cuz I’m about to give you everything I’ve got! It’s been a while! Let’s set it off!”

Peaches’ domination over pop culture cannot be understated, with her aesthetic providing the main influence for designer Anthony Vaccarello’s AW21 Saint Laurent collection, and her songs featured in iconic TV moments in Netflix’s Sex Education, Aisling Bea’s This Way Up, and Showtime’s critically-acclaimed Yellowjackets. An emblematic feminist musician, producer, director, and performance artist, Peaches has spent more than two decades pushing boundaries and breaking barriers, dramatically altering the landscape of popular culture as she forged a bold, sexually progressive path that’s opened the doors for countless others to follow. Across artistic mediums, she has upended stereotypes and embraced taboos, challenging social norms and patriarchal power structures while championing LGBTQ+ rights and issues of gender and sexual identity with biting wit and fearless originality.

PEACHES

An iconic feminist musician, producer, director, and performance artist, Peaches has spent nearly two decades pushing boundaries and wielding immeasurable influence over mainstream pop culture from outside of its confines, carving a bold, sexually progressive path in her own image that's opened the door for countless others to follow. She’s collaborated with everyone from Iggy Pop and Daft Punk to Kim Gordon and Major Lazer, had her music featured cultural watermarks like Lost In Translation, The Handmaid's Tale, and Broad City among others, and seen her work studied at universities around the world.

Dubbed a “genuine heroine” by the New York Times, Peaches has released five critically acclaimed studio albums blending electronic music, hip-hop, and punk rock while tackling gender politics, sexual identity, ageism, and the patriarchy. Uncut has raved that her work brought together "high art, low humour and deluxe filth [in] a hugely seductive combination,” while Rolling Stone called her “surreally funny [and] nasty.”

An equally prolific visual artist, Peaches has directed over twenty of her own videos, designed one of the most raw and creative stage shows in popular music, and has appeared at modern art’s most prestigious gatherings, from Art Basel Miami to the Venice Biennale. On top of it all, she mounted a one-woman production of 'Jesus Christ Superstar’—redubbed ‘Peaches Christ Superstar’—which earned international raves, composed and performed the electro-rock opera 'Peaches Does Herself,' which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and sang the title role in a production of Monteverdi's epic 17th-century opera 'L’Orfeo' in Berlin.

It’s all documented beautifully in the new book 'What Else Is In The Teaches Of Peaches,' a collection of Holger Talinski's photos accompanied by text from Yoko Ono, Ellen Page, and Michael Stipe among others, that follow Peaches onstage and behind the scenes as she conquers new artistic heights. Her latest album, ‘Rub,’ is her most audacious and unequivocal work to date, and she continues to tour behind it relentlessly, spreading joy and empowerment around the world as she mixes the profane and the political in the singular way that only Peaches can.
