Frontier Touring Presents BENSON BOONE With Special Guest Carla Wehbe SOLD OUT

Frontier Touring are pumped to announce Australian and New Zealand headline shows for rising American pop star Benson Boone. Touring Down Under for the very first time, the 20-year-old Seattle native artist will perform at The Toff, Melbourne, on Saturday 1 October.

Discovered by Imagine Dragons front man Dan Reynolds, who signed Boone to his Night Street Records label in partnership with Warner Records, is already cementing his status as one of the most promising singer/songwriters in pop.

A need to connect authentically drives every aspect of Benson Boone’s artistry. From his unflinchingly honest lyrics to hand-drawn artwork, there is no buffer between him and the listener. This is particularly apparent on the 20-year-old's debut single ‘GHOST TOWN’, a poignant piano ballad about moving on before love turns sour. The emotions that fueled this song were pulled from observing a friend’s toxic relationship and the development of his own emotional maturity. Ultimately, the song is about making tough decisions. “Love can hurt more than it can help,” the rising pop artist says. “Sometimes the best way of showing someone you care is by letting them go.”

Most recently, Boone released his debut EP, Walk Me Home, which has accumulated over 20 million Australian streams to date. The 8-track EP features the emotional ‘In The Stars’ (Certified ARIA Gold), the upbeat ‘ROOM FOR 2’, the debut hit ‘GHOST TOWN’ plus latest single ‘Better Alone’. ‘Better Alone’ showcases Boone’s ability to turn gut-wrenching emotions into mesmerising melodies while flaunting the full range of his powerful vocals.

Special guest for Sydney and Melbourne is Sydney-based rising singer-songwriter and producer Carla Wehbe. An elusive trait often misunderstood but highly prized in the music world; Wehbe’s is an unconventional uniqueness of vision that has become the hallmark of the likes of Bowie and Mercury. Carla’s first official release came in 2019 when she collaborated with Tyron Hapi on the hit single ‘Touched’, which has been streamed over 7.6 million times on Spotify. In 2020 she independently released her debut EP, Half Past Nine, which landed on high rotation on triple j and in 2021 saw her release ‘hurts to love you’ and collaborate with rapper Illy on the track ‘No Feelings’.

With over 500 million global streams to date, don’t miss Benson Boone (with AUS special guest Carla Wehbe) and his debut headline shows later this month and October!

The Toff is a strictly 18+ venue.
