Banished Music proudly welcomes Georgia Knight back to Aotearoa, following her standout solo performance at The Others Way. After captivating audiences with a spellbinding set that lingered long after the final note, Georgia brings her singular world of sound back to New Zealand stages, expanded, immersive, and more powerful than ever, this time with her full live band.
Naarm-born and sometimes Aotearoa-based, Knight crafts otherworldly pop from autoharp, dusty loops, synth textures, and avant-garde edges. Her 2023 EP Hell on Bent Street established her as a rising force, with appearances at Dark Mofo, Rising, Camp A Low Hum, and shows alongside Blonde Redhead and Mogwai.
It’s been a big 12 months for Georgia. Her independently released debut album Beanpole, described by KEXP as an evocative set of dimly-lit, hypnotic, psych-tinted pop, earned praise from Sharon Van Etten, Arab Strap, and BBC Radio 6 Music. Critics highlighted her shadowy, seductive trip-hop textures (KCRW), extraordinary vocal range and graveside poems (The 13th Floor), and goosebumps-inducing live performances (BBC Radio 6).
Supporting the album, she was booked for a string of highly coveted festivals including The Great Escape (UK), Golden Plains (AU), Phoenix Central Park (AU), The Others Way (NZ), and Port Noise (NZ).
Now touring her 2025 album Beanpole, recorded with Andrew ‘Idge’ Hehir, Georgia returns with a fuller, immersive live show, intimate, cinematic, and impossible to look away from.
