City and Colour announces Australian tour with Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats for January 2025

In a huge coup, acclaimed Canadian singer, songwriter and performer City and Colour announces he will tour Australia in January 2025, alongside dynamic US eight-piece Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats.

Playing shows from coast to coast, City and Colour will kick off an all ages* tour at Brisbane’s iconic Riverstage on Tuesday 14 January, before heading through Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. Local legend Alex Lahey will support on the East Coast and Adelaide dates, while Caitlin Harnett & The Pony Boys will warm audiences in Perth.

Frontier Members can access presale tickets from 10am local time on Tuesday 24 September, before the general public onsale opens at 11am local time on Wednesday 25 September. Head to frontiertouring.com/ccnr for more information.

Having toured Canada together earlier this year to incredible acclaim, City and Colour and Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats are ready to deliver their extraordinary live show to audiences down under.

On his last nationwide tour of Australia in 2023, City and Colour played intimate venues that sold out immediately, along with a string of appearances at SummerSalt Festival, stunning audiences with his trademark vocals, raw honesty and dialogue, talents that have endeared him to music lovers around the world since City and Colour’s inception in 2005. 2025 will mark Green’s nineteenth tour of Australia, having previously visited ten times as City and Colour, and another eight times with the band Alexisonfire.

City and Colour released his critically praised seventh studio album The Love Still Held Me Near last year.

Over the course of seven studio albums, City and Colour has compiled a canon ripe with songs born of adoration and devotion, amassing a legion of dedicated fans worldwide and garnering him three JUNOs, including two Songwriter of the Year awards, plus multiple triple, double, platinum and gold certifications in his native Canada.

One of the most recognisable forces in contemporary rock ‘n roll, eight-piece Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats are an undeniable live act, most recently in Australia in 2023.

Since 2015, Rateliff has led his denim-clad, horn-flanked Night Sweats to stages across the globe, leaving awed audiences in their wake. Their combustible mix of soul and rock quickly cemented them as a rare generational band who balances ecstatic live shows with engrossing and rich records.

South Of Here, the fourth Night Sweats album reckons with a lifetime of pain and trauma and transforms it into a stirring and soul-baring rumination on love, loss, hope and resolve. Following And It’s Still Alright, Rateliff’s beloved 2020 solo LP, and The Future, The Night Sweat’s acclaimed 2021 release, the new album blends both sides of his immense talent: emotionally potent, vivid storytelling and the rugged, R&B revivalism that has powered the band to world-wide acclaim over the past decade.

Unrivalled talents, don’t miss City and Colour with Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats when they tour Australia together for the very first time in January.

  • The Irish four-piece will be touring in celebration of their new album, Satellites, releasing Fri 16 Aug (pre-order here) including the singles ‘Both Ways’ and ‘At Your Feet’

Frontier Touring are thrilled to welcome award-winning Dublin four-piece The Script back down under on their Satellites World Tour for January and February 2025! This will be the band’s first Australian shows in close to three years,after their electric 2022 Greatest Hits Tour.

‘Australia always holds a special place in our touring hearts so we can’t wait to come back early 2025 to play the hits and new songs from our forthcoming new album ‘Satellites’. – Danny O’Donoghue

Australia’s favourite Irishmen will embark on seven huge performances across the country, including arena shows in Wollongong and Sydney and a day on the green winery and outdoor shows across the Hunter Valley, Mount Cotton, Geelong, Barossa Valley and Perth.

Frontier Member presale for all shows commence Tuesday 6 August from 10am local time before tickets go on sale on Friday 9 August from 12pm local.time Tickets via frontiertouring.com/thescript

Joining The Script on this epic run of shows will be Brit Award nominated singer Calum Scott (all a day on the green shows),local dynamic pop artist Montaigne (all a day on the green shows), pop-rock multi-platinum trio X Ambassadors (all a day on the green shows plus Sydney and Wollongong arena dates), and up-and-coming Melbourne local Lotte Gallagher (all a day on the green shows excluding Perth).

Last wowing Australian audiences in 2022, The Script took fans on a trip down memory lane with performances of essential tracks such as ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’, ‘For The First Time’, ‘Nothing’ and the emotionally charged ‘Breakeven’ reminding fans of the powerful songwriting that propelled The Script to become a household name.

The Script’s recently announced album, Satellites (releasing Friday 16 August via BMG Australia and available for pre-order here) marks their seventh studio album and first since the passing of beloved bandmate and guitarist Mark Sheehan. Opening track ‘Both Ways’ sees the band dabble with an energetic new sound and funky upbeat rhythms. The band followed this release with single ‘At Your Feet’, a dynamic song that takes listeners on a journey across personal lyricism, soaring choruses and intimate emotions. Stream both tracks here.

“The album cover is silhouettes of me, Glen and Ben Sargeant, our bassist, who’s been with us from the beginning. Then we have a hooded silhouette, because the air of Mark is still there”, says lead singer Danny O’Donoghue on the legacy of their adored bandmate. “He always will be, but it’s also giving a tip of the hat to the future. It’ll never be the same Script. We’re just trying to get on and do what it is that we all feel is the next right thing to do and that’s to keep making more great music.”

Since forming in 2001, The Script have cemented themselves as one of the most definitive pop groups of their era, achieving more than ten billion streams (a feat that has since earned them a BRITs Billion Award), twelve million album sales, six UK #1 albums and two Platinum-certified US singles. Five Top 10 ARIA album charts and seven Top 40 singles (including 5 x platinum for ‘Breakeven’ and 10 x platinum for ‘Hall of Fame [feat. will.i.am]’) have established the band’s status as one of Australia’s most loved acts. Tracks such as ‘Superheroes’ and ‘Rain’have solidified the band’s legacy as chart-topping sensations and dazzling live performers.

“The Script have always had a strong tie with Aussie fans and there is a loving energy that can be felt across The Bowl” – The Music

“Perth crowd wowed by ‘flawless’ greatest hits show… it was impossible to fault the band’s performance” – The West Australian

“…the classic much adored Breakeven… saw the crowd swoon to its anthemic encore” – UK Music Reviews

About Calum Scott (all a day on the green shows)

First achieving mainstream recognition as a fan-favourite contestant on Britain’s Got Talent 2015, Calum Scott is a rising pop sensation with a belting voice and persona to match. The 2016 release of seminal hit ‘Dancing On My Own’ has seen over 1 billion Spotify streams to date and catapulted Scott as a star to watch. His 2018 debut album Only Human saw the Brit Award nominated singer reach No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in over 20 countries around the world. His acclaimed 2022 sophomore album Bridges features single Rise, credited by Rolling Stone as “one of the 50 Most Inspirational LGBTQ Songs of All Time”. His recently released single, Roots, blends fast-paced rhythms with Calum’s soaring, powerful voice and free-spirited lyricism.

They’ve since released underground hits with DJ Seinfeld (‘Now U Do’) and DJ Boring (‘Forever 2 (Crush Mix)’), as well as a remix album (Confidence Man Club Classics Vol 1).

Raised in the Steel City, aka the coastal, industrial Australian town of Newcastle, LOODS is an understated character with a fun, raw take on dance music and is special guest on all ‘3AM (LA LA LA)’ shows. Since relocating to London in 2018, LOODS has delivered a string of high-impact releases including summer anthem ‘Walking Away‘, a collaborative project with dance music icon A-Trak, peak-time Italo burner ‘Pure Bliss Meltdown‘ (Pete Tong’s Essential New Tune), the Gummi EP, and ‘Riviera‘.

Following overwhelming demand, iconic Aussie rockers Spiderbait have added a second and final Melbourne show to their Black Betty 20th Anniversary Tour, after the first show completely sold out.

The band will hit Melbourne’s Forum for two huge nights on Thursday 19 September (just announced) and Friday 20 September (sold out). After adding a second Perth show last month due to demand, the trio now plays an epic twelve shows across the nation this August, September and October to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of their seminal 2004 album, Tonight Alright and standout track, ‘Black Betty’.

Frontier members can access presale tickets for the new Melbourne show from 12pm on Thursday 13 June, before tickets go on sale at 1pm on Friday 14 June. All other shows are on sale now via frontiertouring.com/spiderbait.

Recorded in California, Tonight Alright (2004) leant into the hard rock sound of the early-2000’s. The album debuted at No.14 on the ARIA Album Chart that year and featured the band’s most popular song to date, ‘Black Betty’. Defying age and genre, ‘Black Betty’ arrived fifteen years into Spiderbait’s storied career. The song continued to climb the charts after release, reaching the top of the ARIA Singles Chart two months after its debut and hitting the US Top 40 Rock Chart.

To celebrate Tonight Alright, Spiderbait will issue the album on vinyl for the first time. The 20th Anniversary edition – released on 26 July– arrives on limited edition red vinyl, with alternative artwork, imagery and an alternate version of the single, ‘Tonite’. Pre-order the vinyl HERE.

Renowned for their dynamic on-stage energy, Spiderbait are without doubt one of the country’s most beloved live acts.

Following a triumphant debut in 2023, Ridin’ Hearts hits the road for a second year, returning just in time to welcome in the summer heat. From the team that brings you CMC Rocks, Ridin’ Hearts brings country charm to the city like never before! In 2024, the daylong celebration will stop at Sydney Showground on Saturday 2 November and Melbourne’s Caribbean Gardens on Sunday 3 November.

On a remarkable rise to stardom after being named Academy of Country Music’s New Male Artist of the Year in 2020, Riley has since collected accolade after accolade with the multi-platinum selling singer quickly becoming the artist every country music fan should know about. With hit singles ‘Different ‘Round Here’ with Luke Combs, 2x Platinum heart-tugger ‘I Wish Grandpas Never Died’ and chart-topping collab with Thomas Rhett, ‘Half of Me’ Riley has won legions of fans the world over with his no-gimmick, relatable writing and classic feel.

“The response to our debut last year was incredible and we can’t wait to come back to Sydney and Melbourne with a line up curated for the country enthusiasts, the country curious and anyone just looking to have a great day out”.

With rave reviews from fans, industry and artists alike, the inaugural Ridin’ Hearts Festival snagged the hottest international and local artists to play across the day, in a bumper celebration that continued into the evening. Epic market stalls and a range of mouth-watering food and beverage outlets provided something to satisfy every craving. Plus a raging silent disco, giant cornhole game and Brixton hat branding station for that unique edge, all amplified by the undeniable energy that only country music can deliver.

Jolene’s Diamond Club took the festival experience to the next level, offering perks to enjoy the festival in style including an exclusive bar and seating, phone charging facilities, premium toilets and powder stations to help keep the country glam on point!

Griff (UK) announces World Vertigo Tour Australia & New Zealand August 2024

GRIFF (UK) ANNOUNCES WORLD VERTIGO TOUR AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND AUGUST 2024

Debut album vertigo out Friday 19 July

· English pop singer and songwriter Griff, announces headline Australia and New Zealand shows this August

· Returning to Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and performing in Auckland for the first time

· Hits include ‘Black Hole’, ‘Good Stuff’, ‘Head on Fire’, ‘One Night’, ‘Walk’, ‘Vertigo’ and latest single ‘Miss Me Too’

· Frontier Member presale kicks off Wednesday 1 May at 10am local before the general on sale on Friday 3 May at 11am local

· Tickets via frontiertouring.com/griff

· Debut album vertigo out Fri 19 Jul via Warner Music Australia – pre-order here

MG Live and Frontier Touring are excited to announce UK’s rising pop singer-songwriter, Griff, will head to Australia and New Zealand for a series of headline shows this August as part of her global World Vertigo Tour.

Off the back of her exclusive sold-out debut show in Sydney back in January, the demand for Griff is overwhelming! Following a whole lot of Aussie love, Griff is returning just six months later to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this August as well as Auckland, New Zealand for the first time.

Frontier Member presale kicks off Wednesday 1 May at 10am local time before the general on sale on Friday 3 May at 11am local time. Tickets via frontiertouring.com/griff

Griff has also today announced details of her debut album vertigo,which will be released on Warner Music Australia, Friday 19 July – pre-order here. Featuring anthemic new single ‘Miss Me Too’, the full tracklist was unveiled by Griff in a huge, spray-painted dress from CSM designer Eden Tan. Watch the tracklist reveal.

Before Griff’s debut album had a name – or its titular first single, even – it had a feeling: vertigo. That pit-of-your-stomach, up-is-down sense that the world is spinning faster than you can keep up with, and your own place in it has never felt less secure. It’s a journey of self-discovery that Griff has taken fans on ever since, building the three volumes of her landmark project in real-time and weaving songs that resonated with the vertigo arc into work that moves through melancholy and heartache into healing and joy. A coming-of-age album shaped for complex times, vertigo witnesses Griff scaling new creative heights without compromising the hand-stitched, home-made magic that first marked her out as British Pop’s most modern, exciting voice.

With a 360-approach on everything from production, fashion and design to the spiral motif long connecting vertigo in plain sight – right down to her signature hair style – Griff’s debut album turns the tumultuousness of young adulthood into a source of power. Latest single ‘Miss Me Too’ is a euphoric, existential banger about the little-discussed irony of losing confidence as you supposedly grow older and wiser, and was accompanied by a beautifully choreographed video physically exorcising such emotions. Throughout the record, the BRITs Rising Star winner draws on her sideways origin-story, from her unorthodox Chinese-Jamaican outsider-status growing up to launching an international music career from the confines of her bedroom. That tenacious, no-nonsense talent always wise beyond her years also sounds – crucially – like she is living: free of expectation, and moving through a world in which there is no one way to make your debut album or to be yourself.

Introducing the record today, Griff comments: “the album is about vertigo as an emotion and the dizziness and upside down feeling of heartache. I wanted to drop this project in parts from insular low feelings (Vol.1) to desperate euphoria (Vol.2) and with volume three, the full story.”

Praise for ‘Miss Me Too’

“Griff exists in the lineage of Lorde’s hyper-specific and emotional lyricism, as well as Taylor Swift’s knack for a killer hook” – Rolling Stone

“Magnificently bombastic…the British pop star’s best yet” – The Guardian

“A magnified, full-bodied sound that has progressed in step with Griff’s own growth…sends Griff’s voice to the stars” – NME

“Recalls Robyn in its devastating one-two of euphoria and melancholy” – Sunday Times

Check out full track-list for vertigo below, catch Griff live on tour later this August, and stay tuned for more to follow soon.
