MICHAEL MARCAGI ANNOUNCES DEBUT AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND TOUR FOR JULY 2024

MICHAEL MARCAGI ANNOUNCES DEBUT AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND TOUR FOR JULY 2024

MICHAEL MARCAGI

ANNOUNCES DEBUT AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND TOUR FOR JULY 2024


Frontier Touring is thrilled to announce US singer-songwriter Michael Marcagi will make his debut in Australia and New Zealand with a series of headline shows this July.

 

The Scared To Start’ hitmaker will kick off his antipodean visit with a show at Auckland’s Powerstation on Saturday 13 July, before taking in Australia’s East Coast with stops in BrisbaneMelbourne and Sydney.

 

Frontier Members can access presale tickets on Monday 15 April from 11am local time before general tickets go on sale Tuesday 16 April from 12pm local time. Tickets and tour information via frontiertouring.com/michaelmarcagi.

 

A homegrown success story with a career built largely through grassroots social media support, Michael Marcagi earned his legion of fans with a folk-rock and age-old American sound listeners yearned for. Destined to be a performer, Marcagi grew up playing in rock bands in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, before he began creating and posting solo endeavours on TikTok, his videos drawing in fans from across the world.

 

Viral track Scared To Start’ pushed his TikTok view counts into the millions, and catapulted Marcagi into the spotlight at the start of 2024. Reaching the Top 10 in the UK and US as well as Top 20 in Australia and New Zealand, the song’s instant popularity cemented Michael’s status as a folk prodigy, securing a record deal with only two songs to his name.

 

Releasing his highly anticipated debut EP American Romance earlier this year, the project exudes timeless sounds and songwriting that proved Marcagi’s talent for authentic storytelling. Working with producer David Baron (Lana Del Rey, The Lumineers, Shania Twain), the two were able to create a debut album that excelled, with Ones To Watch naming it “the calling card of one of 2024’s most exciting new artists”.

 

Now, with global streams of more than 100 million and close to 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Marcagi will hit the road for the first time this year as a signed artist, poised to continue his incredible trajectory. Touring internationally later this month, he will play headline shows across the UK and Europe, with a number of shows already sold out. Returning home to the US for a string of sold out headline shows in May before heading to Australia and New Zealand for the first time, don’t miss Michael Marcagi playing intimate venues on his debut down under this July.

MAHALIA ANNOUNCES BECCA HATCH AS SPECIAL GUEST ON IN REAL LIFE AUSTRALIAN YOUR THIS APRIL & MAY

MAHALIA ANNOUNCES BECCA HATCH AS SPECIAL GUEST ON IN REAL LIFE AUSTRALIAN YOUR THIS APRIL & MAY

MAHALIA

ANNOUNCES BECCA HATCH

AS SPECIAL GUEST ON IN REAL LIFE AUSTRALIAN YOUR THIS APRIL & MAY


Grammy-nominated UK singer-songwriter Mahalia has announced she will bring local music sensation Becca Hatch on the road for her In Real Life Australian tour this April and May. ​

 

Delivering soul well beyond her years, Becca Hatch has curated a space in the Australian contemporary R&B and dance scene that is entirely her own. Rising to prominence after winning triple j’s Unearthed High Indigenous Initiative in 2017, Becca has established herself as a dynamic artist on a fast upward trajectory.

 

Recent releases ‘Without You’ and ‘Blessed’ have seen Becca diversify her sound, embracing the dance-pop realm while staying true to her soul and R&B roots. More self-assured than ever, her first release of 2024, ‘Bass Keeps Calling’, is a playful drum and bass track reminiscent of nights out with friends and letting go of inhibitions. ​

 

”I’m so excited to be joining Mahalia on tour!!! I’ve been a massive fan of her since I was in high school. I literally have memories blasting ‘I Wish I Missed My Ex’ on my car speakers while singing along with my best friend. It’s not often you get the opportunity to support an international artist as incredible as Mahalia and I can’t wait. I’m feeling extremely grateful and excited to play all the new music I’ve been working on!” said Becca.

 

Mahalia returns to Australia for the first time since 2020 and for her biggest Australian tour yet, after playing Laneway Festival and selling out Sydney and Melbourne headline shows on her last visit. ​

 

2023 delivered Mahalia’s biggest year yet, the songstress playing a huge sold-out UK and European tour, collaborating with legendary US pop/R&B superstar JoJo on single ‘Cheat’ and releasing her second album IRL. With a live show that’s been touted as “powerful, bold and raw both vocally and emotionally.” (Epigram) and a “glittering gem” (NME) of an album under belt, watch this space as Mahalia’s star continues to rise in 2024. ​

 

As she lands down under for her biggest ever Australian shows, Mahalia’s intoxicating live presence will be sure to wow her adoring fans. Effortlessly weaving soul, sleek 70s and contemporary R&B in one enchanting concoction, Mahalia will take audiences on a journey with hits ‘What You Did’ (feat. Ella Mai), ‘Simmer’ (feat. Burna Boy) and ‘I Wish I Missed My Ex’, as well as tracks from IRL, on her anticipated return.

MG Live and Frontier Touring are thrilled to announce that global superstar J Balvin will bring his world-renowned live show to arenas in Australia and New Zealand this September, with five massive dates in AucklandMelbourneSydneyBrisbane and Perth as part of his upcoming Que Bueno Volver a Verte Tour (It’s Good To See You Tour).

 

In July 2023, Balvin’s Melbourne and Sydney headline shows sold out in under 10 minutes; now, the illustrious global sensation returns to our shores bigger and bolder than ever. Joining the ‘Mi gente’ and ‘I Like It’ star as very special guest at all shows and to kick off the party will be GRAMMY-nominated electro duo SOFI TUKKER.

Balvin is set to commence his eagerly anticipated world tour in April, starting with arena shows across 20 European cities. Before that he will return to light up the mainstage at desert’s biggest music festival, Coachella, after his groundbreaking 2019 performance was lauded by industry authority Billboard as “the most high-profile set from a reggaeton artist in the festival’s history”.

 

Balvin’s latest single, ‘Triple S’, featuring De La Ghetto and Jowell & Randy, is out now. The title, an abbreviation for “Suelta, Soltera, Sin Nadie Que La Joda”, roughly translates to “Single, Strong, and Not to Be Messed With” in English, showcasing Balvin’s celebration of the fierce determination and unwavering resilience in strong women everywhere.

 

Renowned for his phenomenal, high-energy shows, Balvin conquered Splendour In The Grass in 2023 with arguably the best set of the festival. He made history in 2019 as the very first Latin headliner in Lollapalooza’s 28-year history, while his list of studio collaborators includes some of the biggest names around: Dua Lipa, Cardi B, Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, DJ Khaled, Skrillex, Pharrell, and more.

 

Meanwhile, SOFI TUKKER are one of the hottest live dance acts on the planet, currently into their fourth year of a DJ residency in Las Vegas and sold out headline shows across the globe. Their versatility as a live act has them packing festival fields, having slayed performances at festivals such as Coachella, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, Lollapalooza & more.

TEDDY SWIMS ANNOUNCES I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING BUT THERAPY TOUR – AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND | JULY 2024

TEDDY SWIMS ANNOUNCES I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING BUT THERAPY TOUR – AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND | JULY 2024

TEDDY SWIMS

ANNOUNCES I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING BUT THERAPY TOUR – AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND | JULY 2024

 

‘Lose Control’ singer returns down under… Tickets on sale Friday!


After capturing the hearts of audiences worldwide, vocal powerhouse and Atlanta singer-songwriter Teddy Swims is thrilled to announce his much-anticipated return, following his previous two sold out tours, to Australia and New Zealand this July 2024 – proudly presented by Frontier Touring.

 

Boasting a staggering 2.2 billion streams worldwide, Swims, along with his phenomenal band Freak Freely, will deliver an unforgettable set of performances when he returns to play his biggest venues to date down under. The formidable singer’s rise continues its trajectory in 2024, with his stratospheric single ‘Lose Control’ taking over airwaves and streaming platforms globally, hitting #4 on the Billboard Global 200.

 

I needed to write about the moment we lost our shot in order to help myself make sense of it all these years later,” says Swims of the track – which has soared to the top of the charts since its release over six months ago, peaking at #2 on the Billboard charts in the USA last month and ​ #3 in the UK. In Australia, ‘Lose Control’ is ARIA certified Platinum with over 20 million AU Streams, reached #7 on the ARIA single charts, and #1 on the AU Shazam Chart. After spending 11 weeks at the top of the airplay charts in NZ, it is now certified Platinum as well and #4 on the official NZ singles chart. ​ ​

 

Tickets to Swim’s I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Tour go on sale Friday 8 March (1pm local time) via frontiertouring.com/teddyswims. The Frontier Members presale starts Thursday 7 March (12pm local time) – see website for more info.

Born Jaten Dimsdale, Teddy Swims has journeyed through the depths of self-discovery on his latest release, pouring his heart and soul into his 2023 debut studio album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) – out now via Warner Records. The deeply resonant album chronicles Swims’ personal triumphs and tribulations, and quickly struck a chord with fans. Swims continues to captivate audiences with his soulful voice and genre-defying sound. From soul to funk, gospel to R&B, Swims effortlessly navigates through a diverse range of musical styles, showcasing his remarkable versatility and artistry.

 

“Now I’m watching people connect with the messages and stories and realising not only are the songs helping me, but they’re also helping them too,” Teddy says of the album, which follows four EP releases. “It feels like all that work on the back end, all that internalising, is finally making a difference.”

 

From soul to funk, gospel to country to R&B, it all comes back to that unbelievable voice, heard on his early YouTube powerful cover songs (the Journey classic ‘Don’t Stop Believin’’, Shania Twain’s ‘You’re Still The One’) and singles such as ‘Love For A Minute’, ​ ‘dose’‘911’‘Bed On Fire’ ‘Broke’ (ft. Grammy nominated superstar Thomas Rhett), ‘Love For A Minute’, and many more.

 

 

Teddy Swims is only just getting started. Prepare to be swept off your feet when he returns for his highly anticipated tour of Australia and New Zealand this July… tickets on sale Friday!

BETH ORTON (UK) ANNOUNCES EAST COAST HEADLINE TOUR – NOVEMBER 2023

BETH ORTON (UK) ANNOUNCES EAST COAST HEADLINE TOUR – NOVEMBER 2023

BETH ORTON (UK)

ANNOUNCES EAST COAST HEADLINE TOUR – NOVEMBER 2023


Frontier Touring is delighted to announce Brit Award winner and Mercury Prize nominee Beth Orton will return to Australia in November 2023, with three East Coast headline shows in BrisbaneMelbourne and Sydney. ​

 

Performing on stage with her full band, these will be Orton’s first live concerts down under in six years, with today’s tour news following the September 2022 release of Orton’s lauded latest album, Weather Alive – out now via Partisan/Liberator.

 

 

 

Watch: Beth Orton – Weather Alive

 

One of the most critically acclaimed records released last year, Orton self-produced the entirety of Weather Alive from her home studio in London, laying the foundations of the songs on an upright piano installed in a shed in her garden. The New York Times hailed Orton’s “modal vocal phrases and marvelling” stories – read their extensive profile of the album here – while Pitchfork named lead single ‘Weather Alive’ a Best New Track, calling it “a slow-burning tour de force”. Across eight songs Weather Alive hosts an incredible group of collaborators, including jazz poet Alabaster dePlume, The Smile drummer Tom Skinner, multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily, and Mercury Prize nominated bassist Tom Herbert of The Invisible.

 

 

‘This is as moving and real as Orton has ever been … Nestles somewhere between Talk Talk’s final years and Bill Fay’s late beauties, between Alice Coltrane’s intimate hymns and Fiona Apple’s softest moments… the musical richness only mirrors Orton’s astounding writing’ – ★★★★ MOJO

 

 

 

‘Orton’s best record in more than 20 years’ – ★★★★ Classic Pop

 

Well known for her mesmerising onstage presence and powerfully emotive vocals, in 2023 Orton performed at Glastonbury (a set described by The Guardian as “excellent”) and Primavera, recently wrapping a EU/UK tour including dates with The War On Drugs.

 

 

 

Orton’s hits, such as She Cries Your Name, Central Reservation abide in her set list… Weather Alive is an enormously exciting record’ – ★★★★ The Guardian

 

Orton and her five-piece band pulled the audience into their orbit with an absorbing performance that often made time seem to stand still’ – exclaim.ca

 

 

Across almost 30 years now Orton’s sound has shapeshifted from her output with The Chemical Brothers, Andrew Weatherall, Red Snapper and William Orbit, to a pioneer of an electronic, woozy brand of trip-hop. Over the course of her seven albums, Orton resolutely refutes categorisation, weaving from a hushed, folk-informed storytelling to dark, brooding esoteric experimentalism. Through all these different sonic explorations, Beth Orton remains a fantastically evocative songwriter, finding artist fans and collaborators in the most unlikely of places. Out of the studio, she’s shared the stage and mic with the likes of Patti Smith, Nick Cave, Sinead O’Connor, Flaming Lips and Beck.

 

 

For all the acclaim that fall Beth Orton’s way she continues to take the path less travelled in forging her next move. Don’t miss these shows; tickets on sale next week!
