For a decade and a half, Grace Petrie has been one of the UK’s most urgent and passionate songwriters. Her politically charged folk music quickly gained national attention and propelled her to the main stages of folk festivals from Cambridge to Vancouver to the Blue Mountains of Australia. Characterised by razor-sharp lyricism and the unmistakable passion of her stage presence, her live shows have a unique atmosphere of hope and solidarity. The LGBTQ anthem ‘Black Tie’ has racked up 1.5 million streams and provided the soundtrack of expression for young queer folks all over the world. An irrepressible live performer, Grace has toured relentlessly and supported Billy Bragg, Frank Turner and Emmy-winner Hannah Gadsby. She has made numerous TV appearances and been a regular guest on The Guilty Feminist podcast. Her 2024 album Build Something Better, produced by Frank Turner, topped the UK’s Official Folk Album Chart and cemented her place as one of Britain’s most respected independent artists. In 2026, join Grace Petrie on tour for a show of two halves, which encompasses both an intimate solo set and a full band performance featuring songs from across her 16-year catalogue.
