Following overwhelming demand from the band’s younger fans and thanks to recent changes in liquor licensing regulation, Frontier Touring are happy to confirm that American Authors’ upcoming Melbourne and Sydney shows will now be all ages events.
Changes to the Victorian liquor licensing act have reduced the red tape related to promoting and running all ages events, allowing younger members of Australia’s thriving live music scene more opportunities to see their favourite acts doing what they do best.
Tickets already purchased to the American Authors shows at Melbourne’s Prince Bandroom on Saturday 20 September and Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Sunday 21 September are valid for entry with the new all ages age restriction in place – no further action is needed.
Touring in celebration of their debut album Oh, What A Life (out now through Universal), this will be the band’s first headline tour of Australia and New Zealand following a short jaunt Down Under earlier this year on a promo trip. The album features current single ‘Believer’ as well as global smash hit ‘Best Day Of My Life’ which has earned the band almost 30 million views on YouTube, 73 million streams on Spotify and seen them featured on movie soundtracks, advertising campaigns and television screens worldwide.
In a triple threat of talent, American Authors will be joined by special guests Andy Grammer and Masketta Fall on stage for their Australian shows.
Acclaimed platinum-selling Californian performer Andy Grammer will be bringing his joyously anthemic tunes to Australia for the first time since the release of his second full-length release Magazines Or Novels (out now through Liberator Music). Appearing as American Authors’ very special guest at their Australian shows, lucky fans will be treated to performances of Grammer’s smash hits including ‘Back Home’ and ‘Keep Your Head Up’.
Home grown favourites Masketta Fall will be kicking off the fun in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney with their unique brand of pop punk, cheeky personalities and infectious melodies.
For those younger fans of American Authors in Melbourne and Sydney previously unable to attend their debut shows, now is your chance! Be quick to grab the limited tickets that remain ahead of their visit next month. Tickets to all shows are on sale now.
