Hansen’s Down Under Tour includes three appearances at Strummingbird Festival on the Sunshine Coast (Saturday 25 October), Newcastle (Saturday 1 November) and Perth (Sunday 2 November). The remaining solo headline shows take place in Melbourne (Sunday 26 October), Adelaide (Tuesday 28 October) and Sydney (Wednesday 29 October).

Matt Hansen might not be a household name, but the LA-based singer-songwriter is certainly turning heads with his soulful folk meets pop rock sound.
He has over 3 million followers on TikTok, where he got his start sharing covers of his favourite songs along with his own original work.
Hansen has garnered over 900 million streams across his first ten singles, all of which he released independently, with his most popular being 2023's ‘something to remember’, a song that is reminiscent of Lewis Capaldi.
