Legendary American folk singer and activist Joan Baez has announced an Australian tour for 2015 after a worldwide jaunt spanning across four continents.
Baez’s music represents the fundamental foundation of the folk genre, incorporating her political and social values into her music. This year marks the anniversary of the walk from Montgomery to Selma, which Baez took part in as a part of the American Voting Rights Movement.
In May this year, Baez will receive the Ambassador for Conscience Award for 2015 from Amnesty International as a recognition of her consistent fight for human rights.
Joan Baez will be performing at the Sydney Opera House on Sunday September 20. Tickets go on sale from Monday May 2.
