The Long Way Home Tour will give
Vance Joy the opportunity to perform for his fans across Australia, in a tour that celebrates the magic of live music, gathering together and sharing the spirit of community; all the things that we’ve been reminded of the importance of in the past 18 months.
After travelling to all corners of the country,
Vance Joy will perform two shows at one of Australia’s most iconic locations with one of the world’s most recognisable backdrops – the Sydney Opera House Forecourt, and then complete
The Long Way Home Tour with a final hometown show at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl, almost a decade to the day since he played his first ticketed headline show to just a handful of fans at The Toff In Town in 2012.
Joining Vance on
The Long Way Home Tour will be an array of hand-picked guest artists and friends including
The Rubens, Thelma Plum, Middle Kids,
Budjerah and
Mia Wray.
One of Australia’s finest contemporary singer-songwriters,
Vance Joy has had two number one albums – 2014’s

Nation of Two. He has won two ARIA awards and 10 of his songs are now ARIA-certified platinum or multi-platinum, including his breakout hit
Riptide, which is currently 12x platinum.

Vance Joy’s seventh Top 40 hit in Australia, is Top 5 at Alt Radio in the US and Canada and was featured in iconic US TV show
