Sam Smith Australian Tour 2015

Frontier Touring are thrilled to announce that four-time Grammy award winner Sam Smith will be returning to Australia this December for his biggest tour yet. Performing in arenas across the country, demand has been so strong for his shows that second shows have been added to both Sydney and Melbourne tours.

With the voice of an angel, and rich vocal tones that are deep, soulful and melancholic, Smith's appeal and vocal repertoire shows no bounds with both fans and critics alike in awe of his live performances. His debut show this year at New York's Madison Square Gardens was sold out in just half an hour. Smith's emotion-filled vocals and warm persona fill the biggest of rooms without the need for special effects, pyrotechnics or gimmicks commonly associated with other arena-sized productions.

His debut album "In The Lonely Hour" has hit 4x platinum certification in Australia, and his single "Stay With Me" is close to approaching a 5x platinum. Smith's album has recently made UK music chart history - holding the longest consecutive run ever for a debut album in the Top 10 Official Albums Chart. The album has spent 67 weeks in the Top 10 charts since its release in May 2014, breaking a record held only previously by The Beatles.

After a whirlwind year of record breaking and achievements, Smith has announced that he has recorded the new James Bond theme song - ‘Writing’s On The Wall’ for feature in the forthcoming film Spectre - with fellow Grammy winner Jimmy Napes.

Sam Smith’s Aussie tour is aleady shaping up to be one of the biggest of the summer with both Sydney and Melbourne shows already sold out! Adding to the anticipation, Smith will be joined once again on tour by Australia’s very own, the talented Emma Louise.

"I’m unbelievably excited to get back onstage and perform for you all again, and I promise it will be so much better than it would have been before when my voice was damaged. The past few months have been incredibly difficult, but the support, love and patience my fans have shown me is absolutely unreal. I am so grateful to every one of you. I can’t wait to see you all xxxx" - Sam Smith

Ed Sheeran returns to Australia November 2015 for his biggest tour!

FIRST EVER ARTIST TO PLAY AUSTRALIAN + NEW ZEALAND STADIUMS COMPLETELY SOLO!

With special guests Rudimental, Passenger & Foy Vance.

Australian and New Zealand fans can't get enough of Ed Sheeran! Frontier Touring is thrilled to announce that Ed Sheernan will be returning with his solo tour to Australia and New Zealand this November and December, after selling out his previous tours in March and April this year.

This tour will see Sheeran play his biggest venues to date, whilst becoming the very first artist to perform both an Australian and New Zealand stadium tour entirely solo. Sheeran will produce every single sound on stage, either using his voice, his guitar and a series of loop pedals to fill each stadium with melodically hypnotising layers of music.

The tour will be Sheeren's second in 2015, and his fifth visit to Australia in four years. The sold-out March/April tours witnessed him perform live in front of approximately 190,000 fans across both countries to incredible reviews:

‘IT TAKES A SPECIAL KIND OF COURAGE TO WALK ONTO AN ARENA STAGE WITH NOTHING BUT A GUITAR, A LOOP PEDAL AND YOUR VOICE, BUT AT THE AGE OF 24, NOT ONLY DID ED SHEERAN TAKE ROD LAVER ARENA WITH THE CONFIDENCE OF A VETERAN SONGWRITER, HE SINGLE-HANDEDLY BLEW THE ROOF OFF... SURELY SHEERAN'S MOST AMBITIOUS TOUR TO DATE, BUT EVIDENTLY HIS BEST.’ – THE AGE

‘…SEEMS TO GET BETTER AND BETTER AT COMMANDING ATTENTION AND FILLING THE BIGGEST OF ROOMS, ALL ON HIS OWN.’ – SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

‘SEEING SHEERAN CONSTRUCT EACH SONG RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EARS FELT LIKE WATCHING SOMEONE WEAVING A MUSICAL TAPESTRY.’ – THE NEW ZEALAND HERALD



The November/December tour follows over a year of non-stop touring around the world in celebration and promotion of his Grammy-nominated sophomore album "X". The popular Brit's tour schedule includes more than 170 shows - from Glastonbury Festival, to selling out both London's Wembley Stadium and New York's Madison Square Gardens more than three time over.

His album "X" - featuring hits such as "Sing", "Bloodstream (ft. Rudimental) and fan favourites like "Don't", "Thinking Out Loud" and "Photographs" - became highest-selling album of 2014 in Australia and hit the number 1 spot on the ARIA Album Chart for six weeks.

According to Spotify, the 24-year-old performer is currently the most-streamed musician in the world! Adding to the impressive list of accolades and achievements he has already received in the past four years is the fact that Sheeran's songs have made over 860 million streams in 2014 alone.

Performing to sell-out shows around the world with nothing but his voice, a guitar and a loop pedal, Sheeran's ability to command the stage to make incredible live music, soulful raps and perfect harmonies, on his own is a testament to his prodigious musical talent.

Regardless if this is the first time or the fifth time you've watched his live show, his performance will guarantee to move you, to have you on your feet and singing along from the start to the finish. The love for Ed Sheeran is so profound in Australia and New Zealand that tickets are almost always instantly sold-out upon release!

The Hollywood star has announced a five-city arena concert tour in November and December, Broadway To Oz, based on his hit Broadway show, Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway.

“Broadway To Oz is a dream come true. This is THE show I’ve always wanted to bring home,” he said, promising fans, “You will get to know the real me.”

Jackman’s wife Deborra-Lee Furness and daughter Ava were present for the big announcement.

Shatner Show Coming To Australia - Shatner's World

William Shatner has announced that his Broadway show, Shatner’s World…We Just Live In It, is coming to Australia.

The first show will begin Sunday, October 11, in Brisbane.

“I’ve done this one-man show on Broadway and in many cities across the United States,” said Shatner. “At the curtain call, the audiences’ reaction, their love and appreciation, moved me to tears. This show has been one of the highlights of my life.”

Other cities where Shatner’s World will be performed include Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, and Melbourne.

Tickets go on sale July 27 (pre-sale) and August 3 (general public). 

ABOUT SHATNER'S WORLD 

In SHATNER'S WORLD…a one man force of nature delivers a larger than life performance complete with his laugh-out-loud humor, signature storytelling and select musical selections in his inimitable style.

Through anecdotes, songs, jokes and even some poignant moments, you will experience William Shatner 's phenomenal path from classically trained Shakespearean actor to cultural icon, brilliantly creating the larger-than-life and most important character he has ever played, William Shatner.
Who Am I, Really? 

I haven’t saved the universe countless times (or even once), but a part of me is Captain Kirk. 

I’m not a hard-bitten, L.A. cop, but a part of me is T.J. Hooker. 

I’m not an addled (well, maybe), high-powered attorney, but a part of me is Denny Crane. 

I’ve had many other roles, on-screen and off… 

Husband, father, friend. Horseman, Singer, Philanthropist, NEGOTIATOR. 

All of the parts contribute to the whole, 

AND IT MAKES FOR ONE HELL OF A STORY!

I’ve been kissed hundreds (maybe thousands) of times on screen, yet only loved a few. 

And perhaps most importantly, I’ve been killed 19 times, and yet I am still standing here in front of you ready to go another 80 years.
