Casey Barnes has announced the opening acts for his upcoming Mayday album tour.
Kicking off towards the end of September, Denvah will join Barnes for the first two dates in Queensland – Friday September 20 at the Harvey Road Tavern in Gladstone and Saturday September 21 at the Great Western Hotel in Rockhampton.
A little after a month later, Barnes will continue the tour with a special headline show in Perth, taking to the Rosemount Hotel on Friday October 28. Claudia Tripp will join him for that show, while The Buckleys will take her place for the following five shows.
That stint will comprise four more Queensland shows in November – one at the Kings Beach Tavern on the Sunshine Coast booked in for Wednesday November 6, then one at the Racecourse Hotel in Ipswich on Saturday November 9, one at the Edge Hill Tavern in Cairns on Friday November 15, and finally one at the Dalrymple Hotel in Townsville the following night (November 16) – as well as a gig at the The Longyard Hotel in Tamworth on Thursday January 23 (as part of the Tamworth Country Music Festival).
Barnes announced the Mayday tour last week, teasing “a brand new live show” and more dates to be announced in the coming months. It comes in support of his titular fifth studio album, which arrived back in May on the back of such hit singles as Summer Nights, Miracles, Never Give Up On A Good Time, Boys Like Me and the title track – all of which have made it to #1 on the Countrytown Hot 50 chart.
