MTV Australia today confirmed Courtney Barnett will return home as the next act to perform in the critically acclaimed MTV Unplugged Melbourne concert series in 2019.
The Melbourne-based singer/songwriter will become the next Australian artist to be featured on MTV Unplugged Melbourne, joining Gang of Youths, Amy Shark, DMA’S and The Rubens, who have all taken to the stage with stellar stripped-back performances.
Barnett said, “I’m looking forward to coming home and playing MTV Unplugged Melbourne with my wonderful band and a few very special guests. It’s been fun to re-arrange my songs and sometimes revisit where they started as demos. Gonna try a few new things. In my house growing up we had Nirvana Unplugged and Clapton Unplugged on repeat and I discovered a whole new world of music through the cover songs”.
MTV Unplugged Melbourne: Courtney Barnett will be the next instalment of the Grammy® and Emmy® award-winning MTV Unplugged franchise filmed in Australia. The intimate fan event will be filmed in front of a live audience on Tuesday 22nd October at Howler in Brunswick.
No stranger to the home of live music, Barnett began cutting her teeth in the Melbourne underground scene back in 2010 before her garage rock-infused folk style started making waves in 2012 with her self-release EP, I’ve Got a Friend Called Emily Ferris. What followed was an unprecedented rise to global prominence.
Barnett’s highly anticipated debut album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit won her 3 ARIA Awards and garnered her nominations for Best International Female at the 2016 Brit Awards and Best New Artist at the 2016 Grammy Awards. That year she was also named Australia’s songwriter of the year by APRA.
In 2018, Barnett returned with her sophomore album, Tell Me How You Really Feel, which included her hit single ‘Nameless, Faceless’ and saw her become the first woman ever to win Best Rock Artist at the ARIA Awards.
Barnett’s incredible live show has seen her grace the biggest festival stages and the most prestigious concert halls in the world. From Glastonbury to Coachella, Roskilde to Splendour In The Grass. This will be the first time she and her phenomenal band have stripped it all back and presented her acclaimed body of work in Unplugged mode.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
