We are incredibly excited to be bringing this show to his Australians fans – they are in for a treat.”
Porter Robinson has expanded the universe of electronic music for over a decade. In April 2021, Robinson brought Nurture, his first album in seven years, to life. Nurture was a commercial hit, topping the US Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and marking Robinson’s second number one debut after 2014’s genre-defining Worlds. Robinson’s own festival, Second Sky, welcomed a sold-out crowd of 45,000 fans to the Oakland Arena Grounds in the fall of 2021, followed by ‘The Nurture Live Tour 2021’ spanning 38 dates across the United States. The Australian tour follows on from sold out UK, EU and Asian tour dates.
He has over one billion streams across his catalogue and over one million YouTube subscribers. His most recent single, ‘Everything Goes On’, in collaboration with Riot Games and League of Legends, has amassed over 40 million streams and charted in 18 countries on iTunes.
General public tickets will go on-sale Friday 28 July at 10am AEST from premier.ticketek.com.au.

NIALL HORAN – ‘THE SHOW’ LIVE ON TOUR COMING TO AUSTRALIA NEXT APRIL & MAY + THIRD STUDIO ALBUM THE SHOW OUT GLOBALLY ON 9 JUNE
Chart-topping, global superstar Niall Horan has today announced that he will be bringing ‘THE SHOW’ LIVE ON TOUR to Australia in April and May 2024 to celebrate the release of his upcoming third studio album, The Show. Presented by TEG Live and Nova Entertainment, the Australian shows will kick off on 28 April at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, before heading to Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on 1 May and wrapping up in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena on 3 May. This will be Niall’s second headline tour of Australia since his Flicker world tour in 2018.
Tickets to ‘THE SHOW’ LIVE ON TOUR will go on sale to the general public at 10.00am (local time) on Friday 2 June from www.ticketek.com.au.

Thrilled to be including Australia on his worldwide tour, Niall says, “I have said it many times, but I do mean it when I say that the times I have spent down under are some of the best periods of my life… I have had amazing shows in Australia and New Zealand, and I cannot wait to be back in 2024. My favourite thing in the world is being on tour. Performing my songs for my fans and sharing those incredible moments together are the reason why I write music in the first place. This is going to be my best tour yet and I cannot wait to see all you ‘lovers’ in 2024.”
A deeply felt meditation on everything from mental health to the infinite complexity and uncertainty of love, The Show is an endlessly spellbinding statement on following your heart to its absolute truth. As he gears up to share his most personal material yet in a truly extraordinary career, Horan is particularly eager to return to the stage.
“There’s nothing better than watching the crowd sing back to you with all that emotion on their faces and knowing that they’re attaching the song to something meaningful in their own lives,” says Niall Horan. “To me, that’s always the greatest thing that can ever come from songwriting.”
TEG CEO Geoff Jones says, “TEG is delighted to be bringing Niall Horan out to Australia and New Zealand in 2024. We know his fans have been waiting since 2018 for these shows, and we’re thrilled that it’s finally coming to life. Niall is a masterclass entertainer with incredible stage presence, so there’s no doubt this tour will include many magic moments for fans.”
Originally from Mullingar, Ireland, Horan has sold over 80 million records and toured the globe multiple times as part of the iconic One Direction. His full-length solo debut Flicker entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1 in October 2017 and contained the 8 x ARIA Platinum single Slow Hands and 4 x ARIA Platinum This Town. The album hit the top 10 in 20 countries total and charted #2 on the Australian ARIA charts. With combined global streams surpassing eight billion, Flicker has gone Platinum in five countries (including the U.S.) and Gold in additional seven countries. Heartbreak Weather followed in 2020 and topped the UK’s Official Albums chart and Billboard’s Top Album Sales tally and came in at #2 on the ARIA charts.

THE ANSWER NEW ALBUM ‘SUNDOWNERS’ RELEASED TODAY – MARCH 17
Northern Irish rockers The Answer finally release their seventh and long-awaited new studio album today, St. Patricks day, March 17, 2023. Titled ‘Sundowners’, the record was produced and mixed by rising British rock producer Dan Weller (Enter Shikari, Bury Tomorrow) and will be supported by a run of album showcase performances on a 16-date UK and European date tour.
Supported by new single Oh Cherry and a fantastic Tarantino-esque 60’s ‘mash-dancing’ lyric video, also released on March 17th, Classic Rock said of the track, “Rhythm and dust meets attitude and lust on the unashamedly libidinous Oh Cherry”.
Says lead singer Cormac Neeson, “We’ve been through a lot as a band, toured the world, made six great records we’re all proud of, and always done our best to make honest and timeless music that connects with rock and music fans in general. After six albums and a lot of road miles we felt we needed to step back from it all and reset. Whilst that wasn’t an easy decision, with retrospect it’s possibly the best decision we’ve ever made because after seven years away we all came back fired up and end result is an album we’ve been waiting to make our whole lives…full of good time rock n roll and positive energy created by four brothers who quite frankly just really missed each other. We’re back and we’re ready to bring our best album ever to you!”
The album will be released by 7Hz Productions (ADA) in UK & Europe under license from Golden Robot Records Pty. The record will be presented in several formats including a Cd Gatefold Digi sleeve, Gatefold 12” 180g black vinyl, 2 x 12” colour vinyl exclusives, a 12” fan collectible Picture Disk, Digital and various limited retail exclusive versions with HMV, Rough Trade, Crash and Assai Records.
The band’s first media singles of the album received great radio airplay achieving playlists on Planet Rock Radio UK and several German radio stations including Rock Antenne, Radio BOB!, Star FM Hamburg and Berlin, amassing over 6,500 plays since release in October 2022. Blood Brother has remained in the top 10 German rock airplay charts for over 12 weeks and is still at #5 in the German rock airplay one month before the album release.
