With multiple dates already sold out, including Adelaide and Brisbane, and the others rapidly approaching capacity, Pennington’s momentum is undeniable as he continues his global breakout year.

Fresh off a sold-out European leg, Pennington’s journey through Australia will take him from coast to coast, with performances scheduled in Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Newcastle, and beyond. Fans can expect heartfelt renditions of originals like Whiskey’s Better, produced by Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Zach Bryan) and his latest single Make A Right, as well as some crowd favourite country covers.

Pennington shared his excitement ahead of the tour, saying: "I am so grateful to the universe for putting me where I am. I get to earn a living playing sold-out tours and writing music I love. My first EU tour sold out months in advance, and we have seen such a big growth in listeners over there. AU ticket sales are picking up - Brisbane and Adelaide sold out!

“It’s so exciting to be able to get on the road and connect directly with my fans. We’ll be playing Whiskey’s Better on our tours in the EU, AU and UK this year, so learn those lyrics! Thank you to all my fans, family, and friends in the industry for making my career possible.”

The Nashville native and proudly independent artist has captured global attention with a story that’s as compelling as his music. Raised in a trailer park in East Nashville, Pennington’s musical journey began with secondhand guitars and a deep love for classic country. His passion only grew stronger during his time in the US Air Force, where he performed while stationed across Turkey, Greece, and the UK.

After Pennington wraps up his Australian leg, he will head to the UK next. Fans can expect a high-energy, emotionally charged setlist that blends Nashville grit with modern storytelling.

Tickets are still available for select Australian dates, but with demand soaring, fans are encouraged to grab theirs fast.
