ARIA award winner Amy Shark is getting ready to say hi to Newcastle when she stops in at the city in July as part of a massive regional Australia tour.
Fresh off her Cry Forever arena series, Shark will play at the Civic Theatre on Saturday 2 July. It’s one of 42 shows across May, June, July and August.
Shark says she is stoked to get out and see more of the country.
“I’m the happiest when I’m on stage performing and I can’t wait to travel further into Australia where I’ve never been before, to explore some of these towns and meet everyone, it’s going to be a fun one,” she said.
The tour will kick off at Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre on 19 May before taking in a further nine dates in WA (supported by Dulcie), and will then move through NT (supported by Prayer Corby), NSW (supported by Adam Newling), ACT, VIC (supported by Yorke), SA (supported by Jess Day) and TAS (supported by Tyler Richardson), then heading north for seven shows in her home state of QLD (supported by Cult Romance), finishing up at Tanks Arts Centre in Cairns on 19 August.
Shark says she is thrilled to be performing such an epic run of shows around the country.
“I don’t know when I’ll get the chance to do a huge Australian run like this again so if I’m coming to your town you are mine that night – no excuses,” she said.
After bursting on to the global music scene in 2016, Amy Shark’s 6 x Platinum single Adore put her on the map as one of Australia’s most formidable emerging songwriters.
This was followed by APRA award winning (Song Of The Year) 6 x Platinum and number one Australian airplay chart hit, I Said Hi and the 2019 3 x platinum single Mess Her Up.
Shark’s debut album Love Monster hit number one on the ARIA charts and was recognised in 2018 with four ARIA awards (Album of the Year, Best Female Artist, Best Pop Release, Best Producer [Dann Hume]) and was nominated for another five.
Her latest album, Cry Forever was her second #1 ARIA debut holding the top spot for two weeks consecutively.
Shark teamed up with blink 182’s Travis Barker on Gold accredited single C’mon and global superstar Ed Sheeran to co-write platinum single Love Song’s Ain’t For Us featuring Grammy award winning artist Keith Urban.
Tickets for her regional tour go onsale at 10am on Wednesday 30 March.
