Patrick Wolf

Patrick Wolf brings his spellbinding “Tour of the Beast” to Austin for a one-night-only performance that promises to feel more like a mythic gathering than a standard gig.

From the moment he released his first EP at 19, Patrick Wolf carved out his own lane—blending classical, folk, and electronic sounds into a genre-bending world all his own. Over the next decade, he wrote and self-produced seven albums, toured the world multiple times, and built a devoted global following that treats each show like a rare, magical event.

A true multi-instrumentalist, Patrick moves effortlessly between viola, piano, dulcimer, harp, lyre, and tenor guitar onstage, weaving them into lush, emotional arrangements. His live performances are known for their theatricality, vulnerability, and a kind of wild romanticism that feels both intimate and epic at once.

Over the years, Patrick’s singular vision has led to collaborations with legends and iconoclasts alike, including Patti Smith (who invited him into her band), Florence Welch, Marianne Faithfull, and composer Angelo Badalamenti. His ability to move between underground experimentation and widescreen pop drama has earned him critical acclaim and a reputation as one of indie music’s most fearless shapeshifters.

After a meteoric rise, Patrick stepped away from the music industry, navigating a decade of personal upheaval and transformation. That period of withdrawal, struggle, and eventual creative rebirth is at the core of his current renaissance, captured in a forthcoming feature film biopic documentary executive produced by Tilda Swinton. This tour marks his powerful return to the stage, with new material that reflects both his hard-won recovery and his eternal flair for the dramatic.

Expect a set that reaches across his catalog—tender ballads, stormy electronic anthems, baroque pop epics—and reimagines them for a live space where every bowed string and whispered lyric feels close enough to touch. In the intimate Rollins Studio Theatre, the mix of seating and standing room makes it easy to choose your own experience: settle in and absorb every detail or sway up front with the die-hard fans.

• Hear songs spanning his early experimental work to his most recent releases
• Experience a rare combination of chamber instrumentation and avant-pop electronics
• Join a room full of dedicated fans who know every line and aren’t afraid to sing them
• Be part of a pivotal chapter in an artist’s ongoing comeback story

If you love music that blurs boundaries—between classical and club, folk tale and confessional diary—this show is a must. Patrick Wolf doesn’t just play a set; he builds a world for an evening, then invites you to step inside.

Grab your ticket, plan your spot (riser seat or standing floor), and get ready for a night of gothic romance, lush strings, and lightning-bolt emotion on the riverfront.
