Phil Jamieson is stepping into a major new phase of his solo career, announcing a new album led by a new single out today, as well as an ambitious national tour.

The former Grinspoon frontman has dropped “Weekends”, the first taste of his upcoming second record 10Charlie, due out August 14th. The album sees Jamieson diving deeper into his storytelling instincts, blending reflective lyricism, ambient guitar textures and that unmistakable voice that has defined Australian alternative music for decades.

Jamieson said “Weekends” is “built around intimacy and hope”, describing it as a “destination”. He said: “It’s a place among the tall pines. It’s a restaurant/bar/coffee shop/diner. You can go to ‘Weekends’ on a Monday. It’s a place to agree or disagree.”

Check out the new song below.

The forthcoming album marks a more personal turn for Jamieson, who has reunited with producer Oscar Dawson and collaborated with the likes of Davey Lane, Rob Muinos, Ben Edgar, and Soph Ozard. Across 10Charlie, he moves between meditative moments and more intense bursts of energy, framing the project as both deeply introspective and creatively freeing.

“This album is much more personal than my first record. In times of intense turbulence, I’ve written what I’ve needed to hear,” Jamieson said.

“It’s a balm for my soul. 10Charlie is a boarding pass. You are not in the exit row, your luggage can be stored under the seat in front of you. Please follow all cabin crew directions and fasten your seat belt for take off.”

Alongside the release, Jamieson has also revealed plans for a sprawling Australian tour dubbed ‘PJ AIR’, which will see him play more than 40 shows.

Set to hit everything from theatres and breweries to local pubs, the ‘PJ AIR’ run shapes up as one of Jamieson’s most extensive solo outings yet. It will kick off at Rockhampton’s Leichhardt Hotel on June 11th before making its way through Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory, before finishing up back in Queensland at Airlie Beach’s Magnums on September 12th. See all dates and locations below.

Tickets will go on sale at 9am (local) on Monday, April 13th – see here for details.

The ‘PJ AIR’ tour will feature the new songs, alongside fan favourites from across his catalogue, celebrating the grassroots venues and music scenes that have always been at the heart of Australian live music. “’PJ AIR’ is a BIG adventure. My co-pilot is Ricky Albeck and I can’t wait to play for you all. Songs will be sung and stories will be told,” he said.

Phil Jamieson’s “Weekends” is out now. For complete tour and ticket information, see here.
