Australia’s own Austin Mackay has been announced as the main support for country star Jackson Dean’s upcoming tour.

This is a huge moment in Mackay’s burgeoning career, with the NSW singer-songwriter gaining a reputation for his heartfelt folk meets country compositions.

Accumulating over 2 million streams across his singles ‘Call Me Lover’, ‘Real Life’, ‘Rivers’ and Since Autumn’, Mackay is receiving fantastic feedback for his latest release, ‘All My Friends’.

Having shared the stage with the likes of Brad Cox, The Dreggs, Kim Churchill, Thirsty Merc and international country star Max McNown, Mackay’s support slot on Dean’s On the Back of My Dreams tour is his biggest pinch-me moment yet.

Returning to our shores this October, Dean is touring in celebration of his hugely successful 2024 sophomore record, On the Back of My Dreams.

The charismatic cowboy with the golden locks has locked in seven headline shows across the nation, beginning with a gig at the Forum in Melbourne on Sunday, October ​5.

Dean then performs at The Whalers Hotel in Warranambool on Tuesday, October ​7, the Torquay Hotel in Torquay on Wednesday, October ​8, Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on Monday, October 13, and Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Tuesday, October ​14.

The final two performances take place at The Gov in Adelaide on Thursday, October ​16 and Metro City in Perth on Friday, October ​17.

Tickets for all shows are on sale now via frontiertouring.com.

Breaking through in 2022 with hit single, ‘Don’t Come Lookin’’, Jackson Dean was quickly compared to modern day country greats such as Chris Stapleton and Eric Chruch.

His first tour of Australia came a year later when he took to the stage for a series of intimate headline concerts across the nation before returning for a special performance at CMC Rocks QLD last year, along with a support slot alongside Lainey Wilson on her Aussie tour.

Dean’s return to our shores will see the fast-rising superstar showcasing tracks from his most recent album, On The Back Of My Dreams, including fan favourites ‘Train’, ‘Heavens To Betsy’ and just released single ‘Be Your Man’.

This might be the last chance you have to get up close and personal with Dean before he graduates to playing arenas in the coming years, so grab your tickets now.

Catch Jackson Dean at The Gov on Thursday, October 16. Tickets on sale now via frontiertouring.com.
