Stella Donnelly Announces 2026 Australian Tour with New Single “Year of Trouble”
Stella Donnelly, the renowned Australian singer-songwriter known for her heartfelt lyrics and compelling storytelling, is set to embark on a highly anticipated national tour in 2026. Her upcoming “Love and Fortune” tour will mark her first full-scale tour across Australia in three years, promising fans an intimate experience filled with new music from her forthcoming album.
The Love and Fortune Tour begins on February 19, 2026, at Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory. From there, the tour moves to Brisbane’s Triffid on February 20, Adelaide’s Lion Arts Factory on February 27, Melbourne’s Corner Hotel on February 28, and concludes in Perth at The Rechabite on March 6. After her Australian dates, Donnelly will extend her journey to perform across the UK and Europe, culminating with shows in Paris early April.
In conjunction with announcing her tour, Stella has released “Year of Trouble,” a tender new single that showcases her signature blend of vulnerability and strength. This release follows her previous singles “Feel It Change” and the double A-side “Baths/Standing Ovation.” Described by Donnelly as “all heart, no ego, all pain, no gain,” “Year of Trouble” captures the essence of introspective reflection through its piano-led melody. Collaborating with Julia Wallace, Donnelly crafted a song that eschews overambition for raw emotional honesty.
This new track is just a taste of what fans can expect from her upcoming album “Love and Fortune,” set to release on November 7, 2026, via Dot Dash Recordings/Remote Control. Recorded in Melbourne with longtime collaborators Marcel Tussie, Jack Gaby, Julia Wallace, and featuring new contributors Sophie Ozard, Timothy Harvey, and Ellie Mason, the album is a deeply personal exploration of heartbreak and healing.
Donnelly describes the creative process behind “Love and Fortune” as unavoidable, likening the songs to persistent seagulls that followed her everywhere—while she worked or wrote. She explains how these songs demanded attention until they found their form, resulting in an honest collection of breakup anthems unlike any other.
