Dean Lewis announces 2022 Australian tour with shows in Geelong and Bendigo

Dean Lewis will bring his 'Sad Boi Winter Summer' tour to Geelong's Costa Hall on December 1 and Bendigo's Ulumbarra Theatre on December 2.

One of Australia’s most accomplished singer/songwriters – the multiple-award-winning, multiple-Platinum-certified global superstar Dean Lewis – will embark on an Australian tour, taking in 15 cities and regional centres, this November and December.

Lewis will be bringing his ‘Sad Boi Winter Summer’ tour down under after electrifying audiences throughout North America and Europe in recent months. The songwriter will lock off the tour in Brisbane on November 8 before taking to stages in the Gold Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong, Perth, Fremantle, Adelaide, Sydney, Canberra, Albury, Hobart, Melbourne, Geelong, and Bendigo before finishing up in Gippsland on December 3.

“Up until now, it had been two-and-a-half years since I toured with a proper band and I can’t wait to finally perform for my fans all around Australia once again,” Dean Lewis says.

“I love to connect with my fans in person and many of my new songs haven’t even been performed live for my homeland fans yet! I find my songs work best when I get personal, when I write from my own experience, and it’s actually through performing them live that a song’s purpose becomes fully realised – I get to look at all your faces to make sure I’ve done my job, writing songs that move people and worm their way into your hearts.

“Live streaming events definitely served their purpose, but I’m so grateful to have been able to return to touring and living out my dream night after night – I will never take these precious moments for granted again. Hearing my lyrics sung back at me just never gets old, so don’t be shy!”

Only a handful of artists are fortunate enough to achieve both critical acclaim and commercial success off the back of a debut single release. Dean Lewis is part of this exclusive club thanks to his global smash hit ‘Waves’ (2016), which landed key syncs in some hugely popular American TV series including ‘Suits’, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, ‘Riverdale’ and the ‘Magnum P.I’ remake.

‘Be Alright’ (2018), Dean’s follow-up single, made an even bigger impact, going Platinum+ in 22 countries and topping the ARIA Singles Chart for five weeks!

It’s been non-stop for the heartthrob ever since, selling 3.6M+ albums and EPs worldwide and attracting 7+ billion streams to date. Off the back of just one album release – 2019’s chart-topping, multiple-award-winning, multiple-Platinum-certified ‘A Place We Knew’ – Dean has cultivated and captivated a huge global fanbase.

Dean Lewis: Australia’s new favourite voice to sing along with.

 

Supporting Dean Lewis on his Australian tour is Blake Rose, who Dean personally selected after hearing his music on Spotify. Hailing from Perth, Blake has had a keen musical curiosity for as long as he can remember. One of the first instruments he ever picked up was the didgeridoo, followed by a guitar which he taught himself to play at age 12.

Taking to the streets of Perth to busk as a teenager, he quickly discovered his love for live performance. Blake Rose brings a depth to his music that is wise beyond his years. Marked by profound and picturesque lyricism, his songs are vibrant, powerful, and deeply authentic.

It doesn’t get much better than watching one of Australia’s finest voices bringing his universally relatable songs, which regularly flood our playlists, to life.

General public tickets go on sale at 10am Monday 20 June. Head here for more info
