An iconic feminist musician, producer, director, and performance artist, Peaches has spent more than two decades pushing boundaries and breaking barriers, dramatically altering the landscape of popular culture as she forged a bold, sexually progressive path that’s opened the doors for countless others to follow. Through music, art, film, theater, television, and books, she has upended stereotypes and embraced taboos, challenging social norms and patriarchal power structures while championing LGBTQIA+ rights and issues of gender and sexual identity with biting wit and fearless originality.
Peaches launched The Teaches of Peaches Anniversary Tour in 2022, a celebration of the 20 th anniversary of Peaches’ seminal album The Teaches of Peaches. It was met with sold-out audiences across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom. Peaches extended the successful run to Australia and New Zealand starting in February 2023.
In 2023, Peaches starred in Rick Owens’ Converse campaign and composed music for Owens' Paris Fashion Week runway show, showcasing her multifaceted talents beyond the stage. Additionally, she embarked on a series of performances with LCD Soundsystem. Notably, Peaches and Shirley Manson collaborated to reinterpret Marianne Faithfull’s provocative track “Why’d Ya Do It” for The Faithful: A Tribute to Marianne Faithfull, showcasing her versatility and artistry across different genres and mediums.
This year, farbfilms verleih and MAGNETFILMS will release Teaches of Peaches, a documentary filmed during 2022’s The Teaches of Peaches Anniversary Tour. Debuting in Berlinale’s Panorama category, the Teddy Award winning documentary seamlessly weaves together exclusive archival gems with dynamic tour footage capturing the transformative journey of Canadian Merrill Nisker into the internationally acclaimed cultural powerhouse Peaches. From the inception of the stage show to the rigorous rehearsals and riveting performances, the film provides an intimate look at the inner workings of a tour led by this beloved and globally celebrated icon.
Peaches is currently working on a brand-new album, with more details to come.

Important Information
Peaches
Iconic musician, producer, director, and performance artist, Peaches first catapulted to stardom with her 2000 debut, The Teaches of Peaches, which introduced the world to her sexually transgressive, fiercely assertive, and utterly captivating persona. Since then, Peaches has released four more trailblazing albums, won the prestigious Polaris Heritage Prize, collaborated with everyone from Iggy Pop and Daft Punk to Christina Aguilera and Yoko Ono, landed songs in cultural watermarks like Lost in Translation and The Handmaid’s Tale, and seen her work studied at universities around the world.
In addition to her musical output, Peaches has directed over 20 videos, co-curated a photo book of her life, created a host of immersive installations and performative works, and penned the electro-rock opera Peaches Does Herself, which was adapted into a film shown at over 70 festivals. The subject of two acclaimed documentaries, Peaches has also played the title role in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo and Brecht’s The Seven Deadly Sins and continues to perform her widely lauded one-woman show, Peaches Christ Superstar.
Peaches’ first album in 10+ years entitled No Lube So Rude is set for release in 2026. Peaches says of the new music “When the world is friction, lube isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. It’s how you turn that friction into pleasure, into power, into pride. I want people to understand that they can still have a voice no matter who they are or what the world says about them. Now more than ever, there are so many forces that just want you to give up and be quiet. If this album can help you resist that, then that’s what it’s for.”
