**ThornBird**   
ANNOUNCES 2026   
BIG GIRL PANTS VIC SHOWS   
  
“_ThornBird exhibits the breadth of Thorn's talent in very pleasing fashion_.” **Double J**  
  
“_It showcases a rootsier, bluesier palette than The Waifs, dense with steely guitar, wailing harmonicas and Thorn’s beautiful, burnished vocals._” **Sydney Morning Herald**  
   
“_ThornBird shines with swampy, roaring guitars, stacked vocal harmonies and a simple, yet impactful drum beat._” **NME**  
   
**ThornBird** is the electrifying solo project of **Vikki Thorn**. With a voice honed over three decades at the heart of The Waifs, Australia’s iconic globally touring folk-rock band, ThornBird emerges as a bold new force on the global stage. Her debut self-titled solo album (2022) drew critical acclaim, earning nominations for both an ARIA and a WAMI Award for Best Blues and Roots Album.  
  
This February, she will be landing in Victoria for a short run of dates, including Meeniyan Town Hall.  
  
ThornBird draws on a life lived traversing the wild geographical landscapes of Utah and Western Australia. Intertwining Americana grooves with blues harp and a folk storytelling ethos, she presents a sound that is uniquely Australian. Channelling stories of strong women, solitude, untamed places, love, loss and life lessons into every song.  
  
ThornBird is not just a Waif out on her own; she’s a global artist in full flight.  
  
Doors 6:30pm, Show 7:30pm.
