Emerging country music star Cameron Whitcomb is making his Australian and New Zealand tour debut next year.

Gaining a reputation for his gritty voice and raw storytelling, Whitcomb burst onto the scene with his 2024 EP Quitter, leading to the Canadian garnering over 600 million global streams, headlining tours across North America and Europe and receiving plenty of hype from the worldwide music press.

Whitcomb followed up with his debut album, The Hard Way, in September of this year. The album was widely acclaimed, and to celebrate, Whitcomb is bringing his The Hard Way Tour to Australia and New Zealand in 2026.

Kicking off at Auckland's Powerstation on Tuesday 5 May, Whitcomb heads to Australia for the remaining concerts at Adelaide’s The Gov on Thursday 7 May, Melbourne’s The Forum on Saturday 9 May, Brisbane’s The Tivoli on Tuesday 12 May, before bringing things to an end at Sydney’s Roundhouse on Friday 15 May.

It’s been a unique journey for Cameron Whitcomb, who left home at the age of 17 and got a job on the Trans Mountain Pipeline. Introduced to Johnny Cash by his brother, Whitcomb quickly fell in love with music and discovered his passion for singing and performing.

Whitcomb began uploading videos of himself covering songs to Reddit, was discovered by an American Idol executive and soon found himself on the show, finishing in the top 20. This experience cemented his desire to become a full-time musician, leading to his 2024 breakthrough EP Quitter – a collection of country folk songs exploring Whitcomb’s journey overcoming addiction.

After touring North America and Europe, Whitcomb got back in the studio and released this year’s The Hard Way, another powerful and personal work that debuted at #1 on the Canadian Country Albums chart.

Currently touring North America on his I’ve Got Options Tour alongside Jonah Kagen, Whitcomb’s upcoming debut tour of Australia and New Zealand is one not to be missed.
