The Pierce Brothers have spent most of 2025 celebrating the 10th anniversary of the release of their acclaimed EP The Night Tree with some unforgettable shows throughout Australia. We caught their Riverboats Festival performance in Echuca in February and then two amazing shows at Bluesfest this year, where even Jack and Pat couldn’t believe the incredible reception they received from the Byron Bay audiences. Just when you thought the Night Tree celebrations had concluded, The Pierce Brothers have now announced a fresh run of shows. See dates below. We caught up with Jack and Pat at Bluesfest this year for a quick chat about the Night Tree tour and their Bluesfest performances.

MORE ABOUT THE NIGHT TREE
A spectacular catalyst for catapulting Pierce Brothers onto the world stage, 2014’s The Night Tree saw twin brothers Jack and Patrick Pierce quickly evolve from busking on the iconic streets of Melbourne into international sensations. Marking the pair’s third EP, following 2011’s self-titled and 2013’s Blind Boys Run EPs, The Night Tree bustles with warmth and charisma across the space of eight tracks, with sparkling indie folk and blues colliding with heartfelt lyricism and goosebump-inducing harmonies, alongside plenty of infectious melodics set to stun. From the wistful swoon of Genevieve through to the glistening and percolating twang of Golden Times, the stomping delights of White Whale and beyond, The Night Tree is an enduring part of the ever-burgeoning Pierce Brothers legacy, with the EP also garnering the duo a #7 spot on the Alt iTunes chart, and #33 on the overall iTunes chart upon release.
“Re-recording live versions of this EP, and finally getting a new studio version of Flying Home out into the world was so much fun!” says Jack, “We came back to these songs so quickly, after not playing some of them in a decade, and we realised how much fun they were to play! This tour is going to be all time!”
The Night Tree first made its way into the world, the ongoing success story for Pierce Brothers has seen them gone on to headline sold out venues around the globe, generate over 40 million global streams, enamour festival crowds and support the likes of Tones and I, Tash Sultana, James Blunt, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, The Cat Empire, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, and many more. Along the way, the duo’s musical output has consistently grown along with their stellar reputation, from their top 15 ARIA debut album, 2018’s Atlas Shoulders, to releasing two top 10 ARIA EPs, Into The Dirt (2015) and The Records Were Ours (2017), a sophomore album Into The Great Unknown in 2020 and, as of 2024, a whole new era courtesy of their 2024 full length album Everything Is Bigger Than Me, which garnered both chart success as well as rave critical reviews.
“This was an EP that really put us on the map, both in Europe and Australia,” shares Jack. “We never released it on vinyl, so it’ll be great to finally have it the way we always wanted it! We recorded a live B-Side to the vinyl as well live at our home studio and will be releasing the live tapes from it as well! And we re-recorded an old crowd favourite Flying Home and added it as a bonus track! This is because we always felt like we never really nailed it in those old recordings so wanted to get a nicer version out there.”
