One of Australia's most impressive and beloved pop exports, Amy Shark, is hitting regional venues this October and November. Bringing songs from her critically-acclaimed debut album 'Love Monster' and faves from her EP 'Night Thinker', she will be launching the tour at the Newcastle Exhibition and Convention Centre, then will head to University of Canberra Refectory, C.ex in Coffs Harbour and Venue 114 at the Sunshine Coast. She'll also be performing at the Darwin Entertainment Centre, The Cube in Wodonga and Costa Hall in Geelong before capping it off at Hobart's Odeon Theatre
An overnight success years in the making, Amy Shark has come a long way since her breakthrough single 'Adore'. As she shared on her Instagram account recently, in just two years she has gone from moving 82 tickets in her hometown of Brisbane, to selling out arena-sized venues all across the country. 'Love Monster', her debut album, shot straight to number one on the ARIA charts upon release, and in 2018 she won an impressive four ARIA Awards for her efforts. Both 'Adore' and the powerhouse lead single from 'Love Monster', I Said Hi, have hit 4x Platinum status, with killer singles 'Weekends', 'All Loved Up' and 'Mess Her Up' all reaching that coveted Platinum milestone.
The last few years saw Amy bring her infectious, emotive brand of pop to the world, and the world is lapping it up. She has performed on 'The Late Late Show with James Corden' and 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon' to audiences of millions, and made music with pop royalty Jack Antonoff (Taylor Swift, Carly Rae Jepsen, Lorde), Joel Little (Khalid, Lorde), Blink-182 and more, all on top of sold out shows across the globe. She was also featured on the 'Love, Simon' soundtrack at the request of Jack Antonoff himself, who also secured her as an opening act for his band, Bleachers, in the US.
In a full circle moment, her single 'I Said Hi' is a statement for those who told her she'd never make it and the song gained high rotation across both commercial and alternative stations. Anyone who didn't believe she could do it surely doesn't have much to say now—and 'I Said Hi' has now become an anthem for the next generation, ready to have their songs heard by the masses.
Thrilled to be heading back on the road in her home country, and endlessly grateful for the massive love from her regional fans, Amy enthuses, "So many parts of regional Australia have backed me since my first 'Night Thinker' EP. I'm really looking forward to travelling around this beautiful country and repaying everyone who's supported me from the start."
Grab your tickets and let the immense talent of Amy Shark captivate you this spring!
