The upbeat dance pop trio will be heading to Australia following the success of their album Zora.

Australian pop superstars, Sheppard, today announced 11 new live Australian headline shows beginning this October for all ages. It gives Amy, Emma, and George their first chance to celebrate with their Australian fans following the recent ARIA #1 success of their fourth studio album, Zora.

“We knew that fans back here at home have been waiting for us to return from Nashville to tour again. There is no better feeling than being onstage here in Australia and watching our fans turn the show into a massive party,” says the band.

Currently based in Nashville, Sheppard have been winning hearts across North America with shows that continue the celebration of their viral mega-hit, Geronimo, which has now surpassed one billion streams.

The Zora Australian Live Tour will include stops in Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Kiama on the NSW South Coast. In addition, Sheppard will make a ‘by demand’ return to the main stage of Tropical North Queensland’s favourite music festival, Savannah in the Round. The band will also make a stop off in Young, NSW, to bring their positive vibes to The Carnival of Cups.

Sheppard have asked their friend and multi-platinum dance music artist, Jolyon Petch, to open at all their headline shows. The superstar 2 x ARIA & MTV EMA Award-nominated producer and DJ has had an incredible 11 #1 singles on the ARIA Club Charts, including his house rework of the iconic Fleetwood Mac single Dreams feat. Reigan.

As one of Brisbane’s most successful bands of all time, Sheppard are enjoying a renaissance with recent singles lighting up charts on five continents. Their latest album Zora is the first studio album for the band since 2021’s Kaleidoscope Eyes.

Preceded by the singles Good Time, Daylight, Dance on the Sun and Edge of the Earth, the recent #1 ARIA Australian Album Zora contains 16 tracks that explore themes of resilience, hope, despair and strength, all underpinned by Sheppard’s trademark brand of anthemic pop designed to be turned up loud.

Band frontman George Sheppard explains, “The album revolves around the rejuvenating nature of light and that no matter how dark life at times can feel, a new sunrise is just around the corner. Throughout any family ordeal or crisis (which no doubt every family goes through), we constantly look up to our Croatian Baba (grandma) whose name is Zora.”
