From the quiet lanes of Castlederg, Northern Ireland, to the songwriting rooms of Nashville, country artist Gareth has been on an extraordinary journey – and now, he’s taking it Down Under. The rising talent today announced his Australian touring debut set for March 2026, following a breakout year that has seen him win over audiences across the US, UK and Europe.
After going viral with his heartfelt rendition of ‘Stick Season’ by Noah Kahan, Gareth’s raw storytelling and unmistakable Irish warmth have earned him a fast-growing global following. Since relocating to Nashville earlier this year, he has been writing with some of music’s biggest names, including Ilsey Juber (Jelly Roll, Beyoncé, Cam, Miley Cyrus), Shay Mooney (Dan + Shay), and Zach Crowell (Sam Hunt, Old Dominion, Luke Bryan).
“I still can’t quite believe how far this has all come,” says Gareth. “I grew up in a tiny town where dreams like this felt a world away. To be heading to Australia with songs that were written in my bedroom or in Nashville studios – it’s surreal, and I can’t wait to meet everyone who has been supporting me from the other side of the world.”
The tour announcement comes as Gareth gears up to release his highly anticipated new EP, Bluebird, on October 24th, the follow-up to Steal Your Thunder released in May. His debut headline tour across the United States wrapped last week, and he’ll return home for a UK and Ireland run in December before heading to Australia in March.
Beginning at Perth’s Amplifier Bar (24 March), the tour continues through Melbourne’s Night Cat (26 March) and Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory (27 March), concluding at Brisbane’s Brightside (28 March).
Fans will have the first chance to grab tickets through a series of exclusive presales ahead of the general on-sale on Friday, October 17th (9am AEDT) via Live Nation here:
