The general sale for Tyler Childers’ upcoming Australian tour opens today at 10 am local time via the Live Nation Australia and New Zealand websites and from tour promoters Love Police.

In a statement, Love Police’s Brian Taranto said of the highly anticipated tour, “It’s an exciting time for fans of important and good time music with Tyler and his band finally getting to town. Since his last visit [in March 2019], Tyler has become a superstar around the world. A trailblazer, an inspiration to many and a deliverer of excellent live shows. Can’t wait for everyone to feel it in February.”

The singer-songwriter will headline Howlin’ Country and perform alongside Australia’s own Brad Cox, Sons Of The East, Taylor Moss, and Austin Mackay. You can find ticket information for the one-day festival here.

Childers is touring in support of his sixth studio album, Rustin’ In The Rain, which arrived last September. He’s also released two more albums since his previous visit to Australia: Long Violent History in 2020 and Can I Take My Hounds To Heaven? in 2022.
