Multi-platinum and 2x GRAMMY-nominee K.Flay is kicking off 2024 with an intoxicating new single ‘Carsick’. The track comes ahead of her upcoming Australian tour dates in February which will see her play headline shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane as well as at Party in the Paddock festival in Launceston.
Sun 11 Feb – Party in the Paddock – Quercus Park, Launceston, TAS
Tues 13 Feb – Corner Hotel – Melbourne, VIC
Weds 14 Feb – Oxford Art Factory – Sydney, NSW
Fri 16 Feb – The Zoo – Brisbane, QLD
Recorded during K.Flay’s MONO album recording sessions, the song was written and produced by K.Flay and frequent collaborator Jason Suwito (MisterWives, Imagine Dragons, Sir Sly). The song comes along with an official visualizer which was directed and edited by MILK Studios’ Sonny Alvarez (Jason Mraz, Spencer Sutherland) and takes you on a disorientating visual journey soundtracked.
Says K.Flay of the track “‘Carsick’ is about the moment you want to get off the ride. When the chaos isn’t fun anymore. I tried to capture both the dizzying feeling of being in a toxic relationship and the freedom that comes with leaving it.”

25 October 2023
US singer, songwriter & alternative artist K.Flay will make her highly anticipated return to Australia in February 2024.
WEDNESDAY 14 FEBRUARY | Oxford Art Factory | Sydney, NSW
FRIDAY 16 FEBRUARY | The Zoo | Brisbane, QLD
Joining K.Flay is special guest, singer-songwriter Hope D. A rising star, the Brisbane local is a trailblazer in the indie-pop/rock scene. With two Queensland Music Awards under her belt and a recently released debut studio album Clash of the Substance, Hope D will showcase her incredible talent as she joins K.Flay on all Australian dates.
Based in LA and originally from Illinois, multi-platinum artist K.Flay, born Kristine Flaherty, started rapping and writing songs on a lark while attending Stanford University and soon began releasing her self-produced mixtapes. In 2017 she released her major label debut album Every Where Is Some Where, earning two GRAMMY Award nominations for the album’s iconic smash single ‘Blood in the Cut’ and sending her to arenas around the world with her kinetic live set.
As a songwriter, musician, and producer, she’s lent her talents to numerous collaborations, working with Fitz and the Tantrums, Bishop Briggs, Tom Morello, Louis the Child, Kaskade, Walk the Moon, Imagine Dragons, grandson, The Regrettes, Two Feet, MisterWives, and more.
Whether working on her own music or with others, K.Flay’s output remains rooted in her undeniable lyrical skills, an element she attributes to her innate love of language and its infinite possibilities. Recently releasing her fifth studio album MONO – the LP is her first since going suddenly and completely deaf in her right ear at the end of last summer. Although K.Flay’s hearing loss deeply informed her songwriting on MONO, the album marks the start of a new era for the artist who explores an entire spectrum of existential questions and complex matters of the heart and mind on the LP.
Last visiting Australia in 2019, K.Flay is a boundary-pushing artist committed to constant growth by holding herself to higher and more rigorous standards in every aspect of her artistry. Don’t miss her highly anticipated return down under next February!
