Fresh off the heels of supporting James Blunt on his sold-out Australian arena tour, Melbourne indie folk favourites Pierce Brothers are gearing up for a monumental 2025.
The duo, known for their electric live performances and heartfelt songwriting, will celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their seminal EP The Night Tree with an expansive Australian headline tour, as well as releasing the EP on vinyl for the first time.
Kicking off on January 24th in San Remo, Victoria, The Night Tree 10th Anniversary Tour will see Jack and Patrick Pierce traverse the country, bringing their heartfelt harmonies and dynamic energy to fans nationwide. With stops in Port Fairy, Torquay, Belgrave, Margaret River, Canberra, Sydney, Newcastle, Adelaide, and Melbourne, the brothers are set to reconnect with old fans as well as new.
They will also grace the stages of major festivals, including the Waterfront Festival in Frankston, Riverboats Music Festival in Echuca, and the iconic Byron Bay Bluesfest, which will hold its final edition in 2025.
First released in 2014, The Night Tree helped catapult the Pierce Brothers from Melbourne street buskers to international sensations. The eight-track EP, featuring tracks like “Genevieve”, “Golden Times”, and “White Whale”, became a fan favourite, showcasing the duo’s knack for charming lyricism, infectious melodies, and their signature harmonies.
Upon its release, The Night Tree climbed to No. 7 on the Alt iTunes chart and No. 33 on the overall iTunes chart, solidifying the brothers’ place in the indie-folk scene.
“This was an EP that really put us on the map, both in Europe and Australia,” Jack shares. “We never released it on vinyl, so it’ll be great to finally have it the way we always wanted it.”

The release will include a live B-side recorded at the brothers’ own Wattle Studios, as well as a bonus studio track.
“We re-recorded an old crowd favourite, ‘Flying Home’, and added it as a bonus track,” Jack says. “This is because we always felt like we never really nailed it in those old recordings, so we wanted to get a nicer version out there.”
Over the past decade, Pierce Brothers have built a reputation as one of Australia’s most beloved live acts. They’ve headlined sold-out shows around the globe, racked up over 40 million streams, and supported the likes of Tash Sultana, Tones and I, Ben Harper, and The Cat Empire.
Their discography includes ARIA-charting EPs Into The Dirt and The Records Were Ours, top 15 album Atlas Shoulders, and their 2024 release Everything Is Bigger Than Me, which received rave reviews.
This year has been a momentous one for Pierce Brothers, who kicked off 2024 with their largest European tour to date, with most shows selling out, followed by a mammoth Australian tour in support of Everything Is Bigger Than Me, which was the first album the pair self-recorded, and self-produced (alongside Phil Threlfall) in their own studio. Along with the recent area tour with James Blunt, the pair also released new single “Run Around The Lake” via their own record label, Woolstore Music.
With some dates still to be announced, The Night Tree 10th Anniversary Tour will be the only chance for fans to pick up a copy of the new vinyl – and may be their last opportunity to see Pierce Brothers live for a while. “This will be really fun tour throughout the summer, before taking a good deal of time off,” Jack says. “We’ve been going hard for a while now, so I think it’s almost time!”
