Casey Barnes Announces 'Mayday' Australian Tour

Australian country music favourite Casey Barnes has announced a tour in support of his fifth album, Mayday.

Barnes' tour, which includes a series of festivals and headline shows, begins this month and will last until January 2025. All dates lead back to his return to the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

In addition to announcing the expansive tour, Barnes has hinted that there are more dates to come, and he’s sent a new song to radio: Ain’t No Better Buddy Than A Beer.

Barnes said of his new single, “What's the one thing in life that waits for you patiently, never judges you, and is always there? Beer. That’s the premise we embraced when writing this one, with tongue firmly in cheek. It’s a BBQ anthem, a deliberate departure from what you might be used to hearing from me.

“This track is all about having fun and singing along, no matter where you are around the world when they call last drinks! I was also fortunate to have the legendary Nashville songsmith Bobby Huff contribute to the tune, and we’re confident it’ll have you reaching for the fridge—in moderation, of course.”

Bringing a brand-new live show to his fans across the country, pre-sale tickets to Barnes’ forthcoming tour go on sale tomorrow (9 July), with the general sale opening on Wednesday, 10 July. You can find all the tour dates below and purchase tickets via the Casey Barnes website.
