Oliver Anthony’s Australian tour announcement arrives after he revealed his plans to “get out of the music industry.”
“I'm in the process of getting out of the music industry. It's a big joke.”
The remainder of the line-up highlights the strength of Australian country music, starring Brad Cox, Taylor Moss and more.
Anthony announced the release of 'Hymnal Of A Troubled Man's Mind' on social media.
“New album is finished. You'll see it pop up sooner or later.”
Like Oliver Anthony's already-released songs, the album will remain a low-key affair "with a few other instruments added."
"There’s a reason you just don’t jump in the f***ing pool..."
"I had to squeeze in one more show before our baby boy comes at the beginning of November..."
Papa Roach credited Shinedown vocalist Brent Smith for “pulling this idea together last minute for the fans”.
The venue’s team have responded in their own defence, heatedly telling promotors to “be careful” booking Anthony for shows.
