It’s the debut Australian headline tour of Los Angeles native and breakout alt-pop artist Ricky Montgomery – the Platinum-selling singer is set to perform three East Coast theatre shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this May/June, on The Rick Tour: Around The World and Rick Again.

Friday 31 May | Metro Theatre | Sydney, NSW

Having sold-out multiple venues across North America earlier this year, it’s time for fans down under to experience Ricky’s eloquent songwriting and emotive storytelling. With over 2 billion streams, 1.7M TikTok followers and 8 billion TikTok views, Ricky continues to foster his devoted fanbase who hang onto every word of his sunny, soul-searching alt-pop about life in all its messy and mundane glory – as heard on tracks such as ‘Truth Or Dare’, ‘Black Fins’, ‘Mr. Loverman’, and ‘Line Without a Hook’. September 2023 saw the release of his major label debut album: the 14-track Rick, which immediately incited unanimous praise from fans and critics alike upon release:
“The listener can’t help but pay attention to Montgomery” – Billboard
“…A defining chapter in the career of Montgomery, fully coming into his own as an artist with depth, character and presence” – WONDERLAND
“A soul-searching journey through life’s trials and triumphs, woven together by Montgomery’s eloquent songwriting skills, sometimes whimsical narratives and always emotive storytelling” – FAULT Magazine
Rich with electro-laced, emo-tinged alt-pop, Rick spins stories about life in all its messy and mundane glory. Ricky’s journey fits the bill: a childhood in L.A. interrupted by divorce, an adolescence playing in the basement bands of suburban Missouri, a viral explosion on a soon-to-implode platform, and a brief music career back on the West Coast that sent his songs up the US Billboard Rock and Alternative charts.
With his authentic lyricism and vulnerable storytelling, Ricky Montgomery is a master of poignant, personal moments, artful beat-work, and delicate instrumentation.
