The Australian leg of his tour follows McCreary’s journey across Europe and North America, kicking off in London in mid-April. The Australian dates will showcase an exciting collaboration with McCreary’s seven-piece band, who will bring his cinematic soundtracks to life with a unique live experience.

In addition to the beloved scores from his film and TV projects, McCreary will also perform tracks from his groundbreaking rock album ‘The Singularity’, a concept album that features a star-studded lineup including Serj Tankian (System Of A Down), Rufus Wainwright, Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Slash, Joe Satriani, and more. This album is cinematic in its presentation and also comes with its own graphic novel, featuring narrations from notable actors like Lee Pace (The Hobbit, Foundation), Danai Gurira (Black Panther, The Walking Dead), and Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy, God of War Ragnarök).

Don’t miss your chance to experience the composer behind some of the most iconic music in entertainment as he brings his electrifying performance to Australia.
