Representing some of the country’s finest voices and songwriters, audiences in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne are set to be treated to a night of heartfelt storytelling right throughout the evening.

Kingdom, a Brisbane-based musician and songwriter, has been consistently garnering praise and momentum in recent years; her music and performances landing on the radars of audiences and industry tastemakers including Triple J Unearthed, as well as artists (and tour mates) includingOcean Alley and Sons of the East.
Hailing from the Gold Coast, Taylor is an alt-country artist who made her debut in 2022 and since then, has been going from strength to strength supporting the likes of Boy and Bear, Adalitaand more, while also performing at the Groundwater Country Music Festival in 2024.

Set to release her debut EP in 2025, Duncan is setting up for a busy year ahead.
“The talent these Aussies bring is off the charts – I might have to step up my game just to keep up! It’s been way too long since I’ve played Australia, and I’m beyond excited to be back with my band Down Under, and reconnect with all of you.” TYLER HILTON
