Canadian country sensation Cameron Whitcomb is officially heading to Australia and New Zealand for the very first time in May 2026. The breakout star will bring his explosive The Hard Way Tour to five cities, marking a major moment in his fast-rising global career.
Known for his gravely vocals and intense live performances, Whitcomb has racked up over 600 million global streams and now pulls in more than 6 million monthly Spotify listeners. Since the release of his 2024 debut EP Quitter, the British Columbia native has built a reputation for raw storytelling, high-energy stage presence and a musical style that pushes the boundaries of country, rock and pop.
Whitcomb will kick things off at Auckland’s Powerstation on Tuesday 5 May, before heading to Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, and wrapping up in Sydney. Frontier Members can access presale tickets from Monday 20 October, with general on-sale opening Tuesday 21 October.
Whitcomb’s recently released debut album The Hard Way which debuted at #1 on the Canadian Country Albums chart has further solidified his place as one of the genre’s most compelling new voices. The 15-track record includes fan favourites Quitter, Medusa, Options and the title track, The Hard Way..
“To say that Whitcomb brought the energy would be an understatement,” Country Standard Time raved. “After all, when was the last time you saw a performer do a backflip – make that two – in a concert?”

Whitcomb’s single Quitter earned ARIA Gold status and was nominated for Single Of The Year at the 2025 Canadian Country Music Awards, where he also took home Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Fan’s Choice.
With a compelling backstory, Whitcomb’s path to country stardom began on a Canadian pipeline before diving headfirst into music. His honest lyricism often touching on addiction, heartbreak and personal transformation has struck a chord with audiences worldwide.
Now he’s ready for his next adventure down under. You won’t want to miss it.
