Featured Music Event

Frontier Touring are delighted to announce award-winning singer-songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke's Child In Reverse Tour, taking place across September, October, November and December 2021!  Joined by her six-piece band, the tour will see Kate play regional towns and cities across Australia, performing 15 shows over four months.   

"It has felt like an eternity waiting for this tour to begin. I’ll be playing with my favourite musicians and we are bursting with joy and excitement at the prospect of hitting the road again after so long. We will be premiering some brand new material plus selecting some deep cuts from the back catalogue, as well as celebrating some old favourites.
 

Playing live has always been a pivotal part of what I do - the connection with you all and sharing loved moments in time and space. This one is going to be special."

Miller-Heidke will take to the stage in Cairns, Darwin, Sydney, Wollongong, Western Sydney, Newcastle, Bendigo, Melbourne, Yarra Valley, Warragul, Geelong, Hobart, Adelaide, Perth and Swan Valley.

‘With a range that extends beyond the operatic and into the stratospheric, Kate Miller-Heidke may be a vocal show pony but she is certainly not of the one-trick variety.  She is equal measures quirky alt-pop princess, musical theatre songwriter, empowered protest singer, classical diva and yearning folk balladeer.’ – ★★★★★ The Adelaide Advertiser

Traversing the worlds of contemporary pop, folk, and opera, Kate has released five studio albums including the top 5 albums ‘O Vertigo!’, ‘Nightflight’, and ‘Curiouser’, which reached double platinum sales and featured the multi-platinum hits ‘The Last Day On Earth’ and ‘Caught In The Crowd’.  Further hits from the multi-ARIA nominated vocal powerhouse include ‘Zero Gravity’, ‘Share Your Air’ feat.Passenger, ‘Sarah’ and ‘Ride This Feeling’.
 

Her fifth studio album, 2020’s Top 10 ARIA Album Child In Reverse (EMI Music Australia) – hailed as her most pop album to date – spawned the singles, ‘This Is Not Forever’, ‘Deluded’, ‘A Quiet Voice’, ‘Little Roots, Little Shoots’ and ‘Simpatico’ feat. Mallrat.
 

Trained as a classical singer at the Queensland Conservatorium, Kate’s work is as diverse as her voice.  She has performed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, dazzled in several roles for the English National Opera, won four Helpmann Awards for her debut opera as a composer, ‘The Rabbits’, written the music and lyrics (with her collaborator Keir Nuttall) to ‘Muriel’s Wedding: The Musical’ and represented Australia at Eurovision in 2019 with her original song ‘Zero Gravity’ -  coming first in her semi-final and achieving a top ten placing in the Grand Final. 

Staying busy throughout 2020, Kate performed a very special rendition of Whitney Houston’s ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ for Mushroom Group and Visit Victoria’s The State Of Music, recorded at Kate’s home during lockdown and a first ever live performance of her single ‘Deluded’ for ABC TV’s The Sound.  Kate appeared as the much loved ‘Queen’ on Network TEN’s The Masked Singer in 2020, performing spine-tingling renditions under the mask including, ‘Blinding Lights’, ‘Dancing On My Own’, ‘Paint It Black’ before her revealing finale of ‘I Will Survive’.

‘Impossible to pigeon-hole, the multi-talented artist offered an
evening that mixed pop delight and cabaret intrigue.’ – Limelight

Kate has been nominated for ARIAs in categories varying from Best Pop Release, Best Adult Contemporary Album, Best Classical Album, Best Cast Recording, Best Comedy Release and Best Australian Live Act.

‘Miller-Heidke always seems to have another vocal gear – and she works as effectively both in taking things up a notch, or moving into more delicate territory.  Such was the case with the inevitable encore, her Eurovision entry, ‘Zero Gravity’, which took on an entirely new and poignant dimension....’ – InDaily

Frontier Members can access their pre-sale from Monday 21 June, before tickets go on sale to the general public on Wednesday 23 June.  Secure tickets early to avoid missing out on this power-house voice!

Kate Miller-Heidke will also perform at two CELLAR DOOR SERIES shows, one at Victoria’s Rochford Wines and one at Western Australia’s Nikola Estate.  Developed by the team behind Australia’s iconic outdoor summer concert series a day on the green, the CELLAR DOOR SERIES offers an up-close, intimate, boutique experience adjacent to the cellar doors of some of the most picturesque wineries across the country, featuring a day on the green’s trademark good food, fine wine and great music in magnificent locations.

It also received 6x ARIA Award nominations in 2019 and 3x Australian Independent Music Award nominations. It was named one of the best albums of the year by outlets all over the globe including Pitchfork, NPR, Consequence of Sound, The AU Review (#1), Double J, The Skinny, Loud and Quiet, Paste Magazine, Uncut, Resident and many more.

Last week, global powerhouse Lorde announced her return to Australia and New Zealand in 2022 to incredible fanfare from music lovers around the country.

Today, the artist adds two new shows to her anticipated Solar Power Tour in February and March, to satisfy overwhelming demand from fans during the pre-sale period, which has now concluded. Lorde will now play back-to-back dates at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 March, before heading to Sydney’s Aware Super Theatre on Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16 March, bringing her tally of Australian dates to six with stops in Brisbane and Perth.

Tickets for all shows will be available to the general public at 12 noon (local) on Monday 5 July.

For the first time in five years, Lorde will visit venues across her native New Zealand before touching down in Australia to deliver some of her biggest shows to date, as part of her global Solar Power World Tour. Taking in cities across North America, the United Kingdom and Europe, Lorde’s Solar Power dates sold out completely within minutes of going on sale to the general public earlier this week, after adding multiple dates due to fan demand. 

Lorde will tour in support of her new ‘Solar Power’ single, which debuted earlier this month to fan and critical acclaim, and forthcoming album of the same name – out August 20 via Universal Music.

Penned with long-time collaborator and producer Jack Antonoff, ‘Solar Power’ is a refreshing dip back to organics, providing a new inspirational anthem for the Summer. Billboard said, “Solar Power’ is a fresh chapter in a riveting book, and Lorde fans should be thrilled to meet this new author”, while The Guardian called the song “… a distinct reinvention, one that gleefully puts a gap between Lorde and everyone else in terms of her creativity”.

Since its debut, the track has trended No.1 worldwide, accruing more than 60 million YouTube views, and topped Spotify’s Global and US Song Debut.

Of her third studio record, Lorde says, “The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalising the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors. In times of heartache, grief, deep love or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learnt to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through.”

Known for her captivating on-stage presence and enthralling vocals, Lorde doesn’t just put on a show, she delivers a sensory experience. Tickets will move fast when they open to the general public on Monday, so make sure you get in quickly to secure your seats at what’s certain to be a highlight of 2022!

Ticket buyers can pre-order Lorde’s Solar Power album at an exclusive special price via the ticketing links below.

Frontier Touring and Faith No More wish to advise that the band’s highly anticipated arena tour of Australia and New Zealand has been rescheduled to February 2022, due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation and subsequent restrictions on international travel and venue capacities.

Both the band and Frontier thank fans for their understanding and patience regarding the latest news. Make no mistake: these arena shows will be epic and worth the wait! Melbourne band RVG – who released their incredible new album Feral in 2020 – remain special guest at all dates.

Tickets for all shows are on sale now via frontiertouring.com/faithnomore.

Faith No More is Mike Bordin (drums), Roddy Bottum (keys), Bill Gould (bass), Jon Hudson (guitar), and Mike Patton (vocals).

Ticketholders will be contacted directly via their show’s authorised ticketing agency regarding these date changes; steps will be provided should the new February 2022 dates not suit. 

Laneway Presents, Chugg Entertainment & Frontier Touring wish to advise that Tame Impala will be rescheduling the Australian and New Zealand leg of their upcoming tour to December 2020.

The shows, originally planned to be held in April, are no longer able to go ahead due to the current COVID-19 crisis and subsequent Government directives, limiting the size of public gatherings in both Australia and New Zealand.

Tame Impala’s December run will begin at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Saturday 5 December and continue through Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
Tickets for all shows are available now.

It is with regret that the promoters advise special guests Khruangbin were not available to join Tame Impala on their rescheduled December dates. A new support will be announced in the near future.

Ticketholders are encouraged to hold onto their tickets (#KeepYourTicket); all tickets will be valid for the corresponding rescheduled dates. Patrons who are unable to attend the rescheduled shows will be entitled to a full refund from their authorised point of purchase.

Laneway Presents, Chugg Entertainment and Frontier Touring apologise to any ticketholders who are inconvenienced by these rescheduled dates and thank fans for their support and understanding during these unprecedented circumstances.

One of Australia’s greatest musical exports, Tame Impala released their latest album ‘THE SLOW RUSH’ last month.

The record was triple j’s Feature Album on release, with the band delivering stunning renditions of album tracks ‘Lost In Yesterday’ and ‘Breathe Deeper’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this month.

In a huge coup, Tame Impala claimed Number 1 on triple j’s Hottest 100 of the Decade countdown in March, with their 2015 track ‘The Less I Know The Better’.
