19 as part of a national tour.
Recorded in a church in her native Dorset, Let England Shake explores music and instrumentation while examining her country's past of blood and sacrifice on foreign battlefields and at home. The lyrics return, time and again, to the matter of war, the fate of the people who must do the fighting, and events separated by whole ages, from Afghanistan to Gallipoli. Let England Shake is filled with the mystery and magnetism in which Harvey excels.
In particular, Harvey's lyric-writing has arrived at a new, breathtaking place, with the focus placed most on the human perspective of every story. The album's depth and power won her the Mercury Prize, the most prestigious music award in the UK. Harvey is the first artist to win twice.

Friday 13 January - Perth, Concert Hall
Sunday 15 January - Melbourne, Regent Theatre
Wednesday 18 & Thursday 19 January - State Theatre, Sydney (Sydney Festival)
