“People of Melbourne and Sydney! You asked – REPEATEDLY – and I, CMAT, have listened. Very excited to announce two CMAT full-band headline shows at The Corner and Factory Theatre!”

These shows are CMAT’s debut in Australia with the charismatic Irish singer-songwriter taking the world by storm in recent years, with the likes of Elton John and Robbie Williams singing her praises. It’s her unique blend of indie-pop and country, blending the storytelling tradition of classic country with a modern pop sensibility that has captured ears but her witty personality that has won them over.

Her 2022 debut, If My Wife New I’d Be Dead, won the Choice Music Award for Irish Album of the Year and her latest album Crazymad, For Me, featuring singles ‘Stay For Something’ and ‘Where Are Your Kids Tonight’, earned her nominations for a Brit Award, the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for Best Album and a Mercury Prize nomination for Album of the Year. Her latest standalone single is the instantly catchy ‘Aw, Shoot’.

Along for the ride is Australian rock turned country songstress Ella Hooper. From Killing Heidi to her own solo career, Hooper has delighted at every live opportunity and is excited to join the rising star.

“CMAT is one of those rare artists that ticks every single box for me! She straddles all the genres I love, and has classic tunes that are also fresh AF. Her ability to sing the shizz out of funny, sad, sassy, true stories is the mark of a young master … I think she is the pop star we need for right now! I am SO stoked to be joining her for her Melbourne and Sydney shows. We will bring it!!!”

Tickets to the two live headline shows go on sale Wednesday 30 October at 12.00pm AEDT. All ticketing and event information from mg.live with presale from Roundhouse, MG Live available.
