Frontier Touring is excited to announce the return of US country star, Jackson Dean as he brings his On The Back Of My Dreams World Tour to Australia and New Zealand this October.
Jackson returns to Australia playing metro and regional dates in his biggest venues yet. Performing shows in Melbourne, Warrnambool, Torquay, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth, the singer will then head over to Auckland to make his New Zealand debut. Jackson will also perform shows at Deniliquin Ute Muster, Savannah In The Round and Groundwater Country Music Festival.
Frontier Members can access the presale which begins on Monday 12 May from 1pm local time, before tickets go on sale Tuesday 13 May from 2pm local time. Tickets and tour information via frontiertouring.com/jacksondean.
Bursting on to the scene in 2022, Jackson Dean quickly drew likeness to legendary artists Chris Stapleton and Eric Church, with platinum breakout single ‘Don’t Come Lookin’’ putting the newcomer on the country music map. With the track earning multiple weeks at #1 on the Australian Country Radio Chart, it also became the fastest debut to reach No.1 in the US in 2022. This achievement awarded Jackson the accolade of the youngest solo male Country artist to reach the top of the charts on debut.
Dean made his Australian debut in 2023 with a series of intimate headline shows before returning in 2024 to an unforgettable performance at CMC Rocks QLD, followed by performing as special guest on Lainey Wilson’s Australian tour. With his strong gravel-toned vocals, wayward spirit, intentional songwriting and overall mystique, the fast-rising singer/songwriter is quickly earning a reputation for his impressive live show and thought-provoking, lyric-driven music.
As he enters an impressive and bold new chapter, Dean will return in 2025 to showcase his most recent album On The Back Of My Dreams featuring fan favourite ‘Train’ and live show stand out ‘Heavens To Betsy’ and brand new track ‘Be Your Man’ (out now via Big Machine Records) for Australian fans.
Cementing himself as one of Nashville’s most intriguing artists, Entertainment Focus hailed his latest album a “thought-provoking exploration of existence, filled with sonic surprises and layered meanings”. Constructing big transcendental, swelling songs that demand an equally bone-shaking vocal performance, Dean delivers an aspirational and captivating vocal performance that is striking, distinctive and stimulating, with both swagger and intellect.
A vocalist who truly thrives on stage, the Maryland native has leaned hard into touring - wowing audiences and building a passionate fanbase that connects on a deeper level. As well as embarking on his biggest headline tour to date, bringing the On The Back Of My Dreams World Tour across the US, Europe and now Australia and New Zealand, Jackson has also joined tours and bills with superstar acts like Toby Keith, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson, Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Brantley Gilbert, Kane Brown, Brooks & Dunn, Lee Brice, HARDY and Brothers Osborne.
In what will be a groundbreaking return to Australia as well as signifying his highly anticipated New Zealand debut, don’t miss these incredible shows as Jackson Dean brings his exceptional live performances our way this October.
