<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Blues & soul powerhouse, Shawn James is set to make his Australian debut with three very special shows this October!</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;">Known for his raw, soul-stirring vocals, the Chicago-born artist has created a name for himself through a genre-defying sound that fuses everything from folk to blues, r&b, Gospel to rock and metal with haunting intensity. Whether performing solo with his signature acoustic grit or backed by a full band, James’ live shows are a force of nature - authentic, emotional, and unforgettable.</p><p style="text-align: center;">With a growing catalog of original music and captivating covers, he continues to push boundaries while staying true to his roots, delivering songs that speak directly to the soul with his music capturing the themes of struggle, redemption, and the human condition.</p><p style="text-align: center;">His song “Through the Valley” gained global recognition after being featured in the The Last of Us Part II (2016) game trailer, introducing his music to millions of new fans. The haunting ballad became a defining part of the game’s emotional tone, earning widespread acclaim and cementing James’ place in the hearts of gamers and music lovers alike. The song re-emerged last month, when it was featured in episode two of HBO’s acclaimed TV adaptation of the game, The Last of Us (2025), reaffirming its emotional weight and gaining an even larger following among fans of the show.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The Australian tour kicks off on Wednesday 8 October in Brisbane, before continuing south to Sydney on Thursday 9 October, and wrapping up in Melbourne on Fri 10 October.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Tickets go on sale Friday 30 May, 12pm local time.</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>My Live Nation members can secure tickets during the presale which commences at 11am (local)</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>on Thursday 29 May and concludes at 11am (local) Friday 29 May.

<p>Americana Music Association UK Live Act of the Year Kezia Gill and AIR-award nominee Imogen Clark will hit the road across Australia this October, taking Brisbane, Castlemaine, Melbourne, Newcastle, Wollongong and Sydney.</p><p><br></p><p>After forging a strong connection on the road together in the UK last year, when Imogen joined Kezia for the latter’s sold out ‘The Story So Far’ tour, they immediately made plans to team up for a tour of Australia. Both artists are set to perform next weekend at the sold out CMC Rocks QLD festival in Ipswich, but this will be Gill’s first Australian tour since 2019 and a triumphant homecoming for Clark, who hails from Western Sydney but is based in Nashville.</p><p><br></p><p>All shows will see the two soulful singer-songwriters bring their rootsy, genre-bending music, heartfelt storytelling and high-octane vocals for individual sets before teaming up for a show-closing encore.</p><p><br></p><p>Kezia Gill is a British singer-songwriter whose soulful voice and genre-blending artistry have left an indelible mark on the music world. Inspired by a diverse musical background, her raw vocals seamlessly fuse elements of country, blues, and rock transcending genre boundaries. From the biggest festival stages in the UK and around the world, UK #1 singles, opening for Bruce Springsteen in Hyde Park to her sold out headline tours, Kezia has earned a devoted and ever-growing fanbase.</p><p><br></p><p>Imogen Clark calls Nashville home, but earned her stripes as a high-schooler playing bars in her native Western Sydney. Touring with Shania Twain, Ian Moss and Steve Poltz, collaborating with Colin Hay and Jim Lauderdale and many more, Imogen has earned the respect of her heroes and peers through her deeply personal storytelling, roof-raising voice and leave it all out on the field live energy. Her witty, melodic songwriting crosses generations and genres, with influences from Joni Mitchell to Jason Isbell, Led Zeppelin to Taylor Swift.</p><p><br></p><hr><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><strong>TICKETING INFO</strong></p><p align="center"><strong>This is an 18+ event. </strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Seating is a mix of theatre style (seating without tables) and cabaret style (seating with tables).</strong><br><strong> ALL SEATING IS UNRESERVED AND IS ALLOCATED UPON ENTRY.</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>We ask that you please arrive with the group you wish to be sat with.
