Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg

504: "The World is Changed by People that Turn Up" - Peter Garrett live at SXSW


Listen Later

Peter Garrett is easily one of the greatest living Australians.


Not only through the immense cultural contribution of his music but also through his unyielding activism and long political career.


In front of a packed room at the ICC in Darling Harbour, a room that we unfortunately had to turn people away from - Peter held us in the palm of his hand of an hour, generously sharing stories about his journey through music, activism, and politics all the while emphasizing the importance of connecting with people and making a difference.


We discuss the fight for climate action and environmental protection, and explore the need for mobilization and organization to create lasting change.


Peter is releasing new music, there’s a little out now and way more to come from his second solo album - so we touch upon topics like age and creativity, as well as how music continues to be a powerful tool for activism.


He’s absolutely captivating to listen to. And when you hear the perspectives he shares, it's clear why Peter Garrett is such a huge figure in our cultural landscape.


Peter Garrett last joined me in 2015 where we spoke about his memoir Big Blue Sky. Peter most recently sat down with me for a live recording at the SXSW conference that was held in Sydney, to talk about his new music.


In March 2024 he will release a new solo album called The True North. It’s a deeply personal reflection on his singular journey, drawing inspiration and sustenance from the living colours of Australia’s natural environment and the sights and sounds of modern Oz. The album is now available for pre-order for its March 2024 release.


In support of his new albums release Peter announced THE TRUE NORTH TOUR 2024 with PETER GARRETT THE ALTER EGOS. He will be performing at Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Cairns and Brisbane throughout March, with tickets now on sale.
