US country breakout Jackson Dean is heading back Down Under, bringing his On The Back Of My Dreams World Tour to Australia and New Zealand this October, in what promises to be his biggest and boldest visit yet.

Announced by Frontier Touring, the tour will see Dean playing a string of metro and regional dates across Australia including Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Warrnambool and Torquay before heading to Auckland for his New Zealand debut. He’ll also appear at some of the country's most iconic festivals, including Deni Ute Muster, Savannah in the Round, and Groundwater Country Music Festival.

Exploding onto the scene in 2022 with his platinum hit Don’t Come Lookin’, Dean quickly drew comparisons to Chris Stapleton and Eric Church. The track not only topped the US Country charts, making him the youngest male solo country artist to hit No.1 with a debut, it also spent multiple weeks at the top of the Australian Country Radio Chart.

After making his Aussie debut with a series of intimate headline shows in 2023, and returning in 2024 for a standout set at CMC Rocks QLD and a guest slot on Lainey Wilson’s Australian tour, Dean has built a fierce local following down under. With his gravel-soaked vocals, poetic songwriting, and raw live energy, he’s become one of Nashville’s most talked-about exports.

This October, Dean returns with his latest album, On The Back Of My Dreams, bringing fan favourites like Train, the stomping Heavens To Betsy, and his newest single Be Your Man, which dropped today, to Australian and New Zealand audiences for the very first time.
