Maisie Peters
Celebrating the announcement of her much-anticipated third studio album, Florescence, Maisie Peters confirms her return to Australia with two intimate shows in Sydney and Melbourne this March, part of a global ‘Before The Bloom’ theatre run.
These will be the singer’s first performances down under since a sold out run of Australia and New Zealand in 2024. Co-produced with 2x Grammy Award winner Ian Fitchuk (Kacey Musgraves, Beyoncé, Chris Stapleton) and featuring duets with Julia Michaels and Marcus Mumford, the new album arrives two years after her chart-topping breakthrough The Good Witch. Florescence arrives on Friday 15 May, alongside a trailer directed by Amelia Dimoldenberg.
Fresh from her intimate, instantly sold-out shows in London and New York, Maisie is marking the album announcement with the new run of dates, designed to mirror Florescence’s closeness and vulnerability. Kicking off in Sydney and Melbourne, the tour will travel through Europe, the UK, America, and Canada.
After a whirlwind few years that saw Maisie open for Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Conan Gray, and Noah Kahan, headline her own world tours, and make her Glastonbury debut, she found herself almost constantly on the road. By the end of 2024, the pace had become unsustainable, affecting Maisie physically and mentally, and so she made the decision to step back – pressing pause on the popstar carousel and returning home to reconnect with her life offstage. That quieter chapter gave her space to reset, grounding her not just as a person, but as an artist. It was during this time that the emotional heart of Florescence quietly took shape.
That return to herself was reflected not only in her life, but in the music. Led by her love of storytelling, Maisie headed to Nashville, where she wrote and recorded much of the album. Reuniting with longtime collaborator Ian Fitchuk – whom she first worked with in 2020 – felt like a natural fit. Together, they crafted the album’s warm, textured sound, with Fitchuk supporting Maisie as she stepped into the role of co-producer for the first time.
Drawing from the aftermath of the relationship explored on The Good Witch, as well as the love story she’s now living - having fallen in love with her high school sweetheart – Florescence reflects on how the right love can help heal the wrong ones. It’s an album about perspective, self-realisation, healing, and ultimately, learning how to flourish.
