Austin Mackay is officially heading back to the United States. Today he announced his first-ever international headline tour set for April 2026, and it’s going to be a big one.

Following a breakout year of touring across both hemispheres, Mackay is returning to the very cities where US audiences first discovered him opening shows for Max McNown.

Throughout 2025, Mackay built serious momentum on the road, touring extensively across the US, Australia and New Zealand as support for McNown before wrapping up the year on tour with US star Jackson Dean.

That US run proved to be a catalyst for Mackay, who night after night connected with the American crowds and earned him a reputation as a captivating live performer. Now, he’s circling back to those same cities - Denver, Minneapolis, Detroit, New York and more - to deliver full headline shows to the fans who first showed up early and leaned in.

The April 2026 tour marks a major milestone for Mackay. Each show will feature a full solo set with just Mackay, his guitar and the stories at the heart of his songwriting. It’s an intimate format that puts his lyric driven storytelling front and centre, and feels perfectly timed as his international profile continues to rise.

The announcement follows the release of Mackay’s latest single Pretty Little Thing Called Jane, a crowd favourite that has quickly become a live staple. The track has cemented his ability to hold a room and turn quiet moments into something electric, a skill that’s proven to have translated across borders.

This US headline run signals the start of a huge year ahead for Mackay, with new music, festival appearances and further touring already on the horizon. For fans who caught him supporting McNown, this tour is the full-circle moment and for anyone new, it’s the perfect introduction.
