Texas singer-songwriter Dylan Gossett is officially making his return to Australia and New Zealand this December, bringing his rapidly growing live show to some of the region’s most iconic venues for The Headed Out Back Tour.

After building serious momentum over the last few years through relentless touring and a wave of fan-favourite releases, Gossett’s upcoming run feels less like a “rising artist” tour and more like the arrival of a global country-folk heavyweight. 

The multi-platinum artist will kick things off in Perth before making stops in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, and North Canterbury for what’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated country tours of the summer.

The tour opens at Perth’s Ice Cream Factory on Thursday 3 December before heading east. Sydney fans will get the chance to catch Gossett in one of the country’s most unforgettable live settings, performing on the steps of the Sydney Opera House Forecourt on Sunday 6 December.

The Headed Out Back Tour follows a huge few years for Gossett. His live reputation has exploded through festival appearances at Stagecoach, Austin City Limits, SXSW and CMA Fest, alongside support slots for Noah Kahan and Morgan Wallen. With more than 200,000 headline tickets sold globally to date, his return to Australia and New Zealand arrives with considerably bigger rooms, bigger crowds, and a fanbase that’s only getting louder.

Fans eager to secure tickets will have multiple presale options available ahead of the general sale. The Artist Presale begins Tuesday 26 May at 12pm local time and runs until Friday 29 May at 12pm local time, with fans able to access the code by signing up online following the announcement.

Mastercard cardholders will also have access to a special presale during the same period, along with preferred ticket access from Friday 29 May at 1pm local time. Eligible Westpac New Zealand customers using a Westpac New Zealand Mastercard can access dedicated presale and preferred ticket allocations for the New Zealand dates.

Meanwhile, the Live Nation Presale begins Thursday 28 May at 10am local time and continues until Friday 29 May at 12pm local time, or until allocation is exhausted.

General public tickets go on sale Friday 29 May at 1pm local time via Live Nation Australia and Live Nation New Zealand.

With outdoor summer shows, landmark venues, and a catalogue built for screaming every lyric back at the stage, The Headed Out Back Tour looks set to be a pretty special run for fans on both sides of the Tasman.
