Music News - Clinton Kane gets up close and personal on first AU/NZ tour
11 July 2022 - 0 Comments
International sensation Clinton Kane is coming home for his first ever Australian and New Zealand tour with his Maybe Someday It'll All Be OK World Tour.
Frontier Touring are excited to bring Clinton Kane to Australia and New Zealand for his debut tour down under. The Australian born and bred artist has been based in the US for three years, scoring global hits with Chicken Tendies and I Guess I’m In Love. Remarkably Clinton has amassed nearly 1 billion combined streams of his songs before he’s even released his debut album. That changes with his debut, Maybe Someday It'll All Be OK, released on Friday 22 July via Sony Music Australia – pre-save here – set to add to his stratospheric streaming figures.
Clinton will showcase his debut album at venues across Australia and New Zealand, performing at five very special shows in Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Fremantle, where fans will experience Clinton’s soulful voice and honest songwriting up close and very personal.
The Australian and New Zealand dates include shows at Auckland’s Powerstation on Friday 9 December; Brisbane’s The Princess Theatre on Sunday 11 December; Melbourne’s 170 Russell on Tuesday 13 December; Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Wednesday 14 December; and culminating in his home state, at Fremantle’s Freo.Social on Friday 16 December.
This will be Australian and New Zealand fans’ first chance to see Clinton Kane live on stage, with Frontier Members gaining access to pre-sale tickets on Wednesday 13 July from 11am local time for 24 hours, before tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday 15 July from 2pm AEST|4pm NZST via frontiertouring/clintonkane.
And superfans, get in quick to purchase limited VIP tickets for a Meet & Greet with Clinton Kane.
Penning pop tunes “with chords that soothe you and lyrics that bite”, the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter has just completed a sold out North American headline tour which saw all dates selling out in 30 minutes.
Recently named as one of Vevo’s DSCVR Artists to Watch in 2022, as well as being included in the latest Forbes 30 Under 30 list, Clinton Kane has more than eight million monthly listeners on Spotify alone and amassed close to one billion global streams across his catalogue.
Vevo’s Senior Director, Talent Booking Parul Chokshi says: "I dare you to resist feeling when listening to Clinton Kane. Whether he is singing about obsessive love or gut-wrenching regret, he pulls you in for a cathartic roller coaster with his raw, melodic voice and delivery. Clinton has a rare ability to unify music fans with his passionate emotional performances.”
Born in Perth, Western Australia to a Filipino father and Norwegian mother, Clinton Kane spent his childhood between the UK and Australia, and his teens travelling the world in pursuit of his dreams. A self-taught singer and multi-instrumentalist – playing guitar, piano and drums – Clinton qualified to study medicine, but instead he decided to pursue a path that blended music and travel, and it’s no surprise that lust, longing and heartbreak are recurring themes in his songwriting. Quelling growing anxiety and stress into song, Clinton found solace in music and began uploading covers and original songs onto his YouTube channel.
In 2019 he was signed to Columbia Records, releasing the 5-track EP This Is What It Feels Like, and follow-up singles, including So I Don’t Let Me Down, Fix It To Break It and I Don’t Want To Watch The World End With Someone Else. He also lent his voice to Dutch producer Martin Garrix’s 2020 smash, Drown, with the producer praising the rising star as “crazy talented”.
His 2021 breakthrough singles, Chicken Tendies and I Guess I’m In Love cracked the US Billboard Hot 100, with I Guess I’m In Love peaking at number 25 in Australia, 27 in New Zealand and number 22 in the UK, and Chicken Tendies reaching number 16 on the Australian Artists ARIA chart and number 4 on the NZ Hot Singles chart. I Guess I’m In Love featured on the finale of “Love Island UK” and is certified Platinum in Australia.
Clinton Kane chronicles the most vulnerable moments he’s experienced – heartbreak, infidelity, depression and anxiety attacks – and turns his stories into songs, continuing to connect with his fans with recent singles Go To Hell and 14.
Receiving critical acclaim from fans and media alike, with NME calling a recent performance “one of true beauty as his voice soars over his acoustic guitar”, and Billboard stating, “stunning songwriting and captivating vocals”, Clinton Kane has amassed an army of loyal fans with 1.8 million followers on TikTok and more than 600,000 YouTube subscribers.
Don’t miss Clinton Kane when he brings his unforgettable soulful sounds and sweet lyrics to Australia and New Zealand for his first tour down under this December.
