Australian pop superstars, Sheppard, today announced eleven new live Australian headline shows beginning this October for all ages. It gives Amy, Emma and George their first chance to celebrate with their Australian fans following the recent ARIA #1 success of their 4th studio album ZORA.
The band shares, “We knew that fans back here at home have been waiting for us to return from Nashville to tour again. There is no better feeling than being onstage here in Australia and watching our fans turn the show into a massive party”. Currently based in Nashville, Sheppard have been winning hearts across North America with shows that continue the celebration of their again viral mega-hit, Geronimo which has now surpassed One Billion streams.
The ZORA Australian Live Tour will include stops in Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Kiama on the NSW South Coast. In addition, Sheppard will make a ‘by demand’ return to the main stage of Tropical North Queensland’s favourite music festival, Savannah In The Round. The band will also make a stop off in Young, NSW to bring their positive vibes to The Carnival of Cups.
Sheppard have asked their friend and multi-platinum dance music artist, Jolyon Petch to open at all their headline shows. The superstar 2 x ARIA & MTV EMA Award nominated Producer and DJ has had an incredibleeleven #1 singles on the ARIA Club Charts which includes his house rework of the iconic Fleetwood Mac single ‘Dreams feat. Reigan’. The single went on to garner over 40 million streams, accredited 2x Platinum in AU & Platinum in NZ, before going on to become the #1 most played Australian song in the country.
As one of Brisbane’s most successful bands of all time, Sheppard are enjoying a renaissance with recent singles lighting up charts on five continents while a new generation on social media discover the hits that have seen the sibling trio become certified 34 x Platinum and have over a billion streams worldwide.
Their latest album ZORA is the first studio album for the band since 2021’s Kaleidoscope Eyes (ARIA #2), 2018’s Watching the Sky (ARIA #1) and their debut LP in 2014, Bombs Away (ARIA #2). Preceded by the singles “Good Time,” “Daylight,” “Dance on the Sun” and “Edge of the Earth,” the recent #1 ARIA Australian Album ZORA contains 16 tracks that explore themes of resilience, hope, despair and strength, all underpinned by Sheppard’s trademark brand of anthemic pop designed to be turned up loud.

Band front man George Sheppard explains, “the album revolves around the rejuvenating nature of light and that no matter how dark life at times can feel, a new sunrise is just around the corner. Throughout any family ordeal or crisis (which no doubt every family goes through), we constantly look up to our Croatian Baba (grandma) whose name is Zora.”
