Maisie Peters will play an intimate show near you, in support of her forthcoming album Florescence.
Announced Wednesday, Jan. 28, the British singer and songwriter will kick off her international run by playing theaters in Australia’s two biggest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, a warmup for the release of her third studio collection.
Florescence is due out Friday, May 15, and “means ‘the process of flowering/ of developing richly and fully’ and to me,” she writes on social media. “This album describes exactly that.”

Before that, Peters’ new single, “My Regards,” will drop next Friday, Feb. 6.
Co-produced with two-time Grammy Award winner Ian Fitchuk (Kacey Musgraves, Beyoncé, Chris Stapleton) and featuring duets with Julia Michaels and Marcus Mumford, Florescence is the followup to her breakthrough sophomore effort The Good Witch, which went to No. 4 on the ARIA Chart and No. 1 on the Official U.K. Chart.
“These 15 tracks depict a blossoming of myself from ages 23 to 25 and a blossoming of a true, real love that anchors both me and this record,” explains Peters of her forthcoming LP. “It tells the story of the last few long winters, with all of their villains and thorns, heartbreaks and rains, and it leads you, by the end, into a perfect English spring, into the hope and catharsis that comes when the first wildflower blooms.”
The album, she continues, “feels like a true representation of healing, of finding hope, peace, and strength not just in somebody else, but in yourself. It is knowing that there was a point to all the sadness of before, and the point is the woman you see in this mirror now, and the person you see by her side.”
Florescence is teased by a trailer, directed by Amelia Dimoldenberg. Watch below.
Peters will play Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on March 2, and Melbourne’s The Forum on March 4, the domestic swing of her global Before The Bloom run. Dates will follow in the U.K. and Europe, North America and South America.
Produced by Frontier Touring, the Australia visit is her first since her sold-out The Good Witch Comes To Australia tour in March 2024, for three headline dates in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. Before that, Peters sparkled as the main support act for Ed Sheeran on his stadium jaunt for the +–=÷x Tour (The Mathematics Tour).
There’s a good chance Peters will catch up with Sheeran during the long hot Australian summer. Sheeran’s Loop Tour, also produced by Frontier Touring, will wrap up Thursday, March 5 at Adelaide Oval, a day after Peters’ final date.
With her U.K chart crown in June 2023 for The Good Witch, Peters became the youngest British female solo artist in almost a decade to top the albums survey. Her debut collection, You Signed Up for This, peaked at No. 2 in U.K. back in 2021.
