Chris Isaak is returning to Australia this April, visiting our shores for an expansive tour – and A Day On The Green dates. They’re his first shows in Australia in eight years.

The tour commences on 4 April at Perth’s Kings Park and Botanic Garden, followed by State Theatre, Sydney, on 10 April, Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on 16 April, Wellington’s Michael Fowler Centre on 22 April, and concludes at Spark Arena Auckland, on 24 April.

For A Day On The Green, the Wicked Game singer will be joined by an abundance of Australian talent, including indie rockers Boy & Bear, Vika & Linda, Mark Seymour & The Undertow (all cities excluding Victoria), Ella Hooper (Victorian exclusive), and Mason Watts (Queensland exclusive).

“I am sitting on my front porch in Nashville, Tennessee and smiling,” Isaak began in a statement about his upcoming Australian tour dates. “I have been stuck in my house for nine days because of the snow. But I have been in a great mood as I know I’m going back to Australia! I think it’s my favourite place to tour… or just hang out. I’m so ready! Bring on the sun! Bring on the beach! I think I’m gonna wax my guitar…. I told you I was excited!”

In a review of Isaak’s show at King’s Park & Botanic Garden, Perth, in 2016, The Music’s Dan Cribb declared: “There was a number of genre leaps that saw them roll through country, pop, rock’n’roll, blues and soul; a mixture only someone with a voice as diverse, powerful and soothing as Isaak could pull off.”
