One of Australia’s most impressive and beloved pop exports, Amy Shark is coming home for an intimate Australian regional tour in October and November. Fresh off her national tour earlier this year, which sold over 30,000 tickets and saw Amy performing at some of the country’s largest venues, she will now be bringing her critically acclaimed debut album Love Monster and faves from her EP Night Thinker to regional fans all across the country.

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 Platinum status four times over, with killer singles ‘Weekends’, ‘All Loved Up’ and ‘Mess Her Up’ all hitting that coveted Platinum milestone.
In a full circle moment, her single ‘I Said Hi’ is a statement for those who told Amy 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.
The upcoming Australian regional tour might well be the last chance for fans to see Amy live in such intimate-capacity venues, and tickets will move fast. 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.”
