Taylor Acorn Australian Tour
Event Information
<p>All hail the new poster child for pop punk, with Nashville-based powerhouse <strong>TAYLOR ACORN</strong> primed to make her Australian return in 2026. Fresh off the recent release of her acclaimed album <em>Poster Child</em> that dropped earlier this month, <strong>TAYLOR ACORN</strong> will bring her electrifying live performance down under next March, joined by special guests <strong>ARROWS IN ACTION</strong>.<br><br>Commencing on Sunday 1 March in Melbourne, <strong>TAYLOR</strong> will then weave her magic in Brisbane and Adelaide, before concluding proceedings on Friday 6 March in Sydney.<br><br>A genuine pop punk prodigy with a love of late 90s/early 00s hues and wearing her heart ardently on her sonic sleeve, <strong>TAYLOR ACORN</strong>'s creative journey trails back to days spent performing as a teenager. Relocating from Northern Pennsylvania to Nashville in 2014, <strong>TAYLOR</strong> joined forces with producer Dan Swank (All Time Low, Cassadee Pop), evolving the emotional bite of Avril Lavigne with the anthemic fire of Paramore into her own unique signature sound. <br><br>Turning heads and hearts instantly via her 2024 debut full-length <em>Survival In Motion</em>, 2025 saw <strong>TAYLOR</strong> sign with Fearless Records after nine years of releasing her music independently, ultimately leading to the release of her hotly-anticipated new album <em>Poster Child</em> which dropped into the world on Friday 24 October. A compelling collection of songs that deftly balances heartache and hooks alongside empowerment with emotional depth, <em>Poster Child</em> resonated globally with its vulnerability and boundless charm, commanding global praise including a perfect 5/5 star album review from The AU Review upon release declaring<em> "it’s a confident, heartfelt and irresistibly fun debut from one of pop-punk’s most exciting voices at the moment. Taylor Acorn has solidified herself as a powerhouse vocalist and a sharp, emotionally-honest songwriter.”</em><br><br>An artist who is equally at home enamouring onstage as she is on the airwaves, <strong>TAYLOR</strong> ticked off her debut Australian performances in early 2024, before making her return later that same year performing as part of Good Things Festival alongside Korn, Violent Femmes, Electric Callboy and many more. Garnering resounding praise for her first ever down under live shows, <strong>TAYLOR</strong> has also shared stages along the way with multiple titans of the scene, spanning The Used, Bowling For Soup, and Dashboard Confessional.<br><br>Bringing an effortless breath of fresh air to nostalgic sonic terrain, American alt-pop-rockers <strong>ARROWS IN ACTION</strong> have become fluent in charming via indie rock, polished synth-driven atmosphere, and crisp, modern alt production since forming back in 2017. From their debut 2023 album <em>Built To Last</em> through to their recent 2025 full-length<em> I Think I've Been Here Before</em>, <strong>ARROWS IN ACTION</strong> have evolved into a bona fide buzz band bound to captivate through effortless melodies, vulnerability and lush sonic earworms. Previously teaming up with <strong>TAYLOR ACORN</strong> on the 2021 track <em>Uncomfortably Numb</em>, <strong>ARROWS IN ACTION</strong> have also performed alongside Marianas Trench, The Wonder Years, and The Home Team, to name a few.</p>
