News: Gavin Adcock announces first Australian headline tour for March 2027

Gavin Adcock is heading back to Australia, and this time he’s taking centre stage. The Georgia country singer has announced his first Australian headline tour for March 2027, following a crowd-winning debut at CMC Rocks Queensland earlier this year.

Adcock kicks things off at Sydney’s Roundhouse on March 3 before heading to Melbourne’s Forum on March 9 and Rockhampton’s Great Western Hotel on March 14. He’ll also appear at Meatstock festivals in Gippsland and Toowoomba, giving Australian fans several chances to catch his rowdy brand of country music.

The tour follows the release of his third studio album, The Day I Hang It Up, which sees Adcock digging deeper into personal territory without abandoning the rough edges and straight-talking lyrics that have made him a favourite among country fans.

And those fans are turning up in serious numbers. With more than three billion global streams, Adcock has gone from a Georgia cattle farm to selling out shows across North America. His platinum-certified single ‘A Cigarette’ helped put him on the map, while ‘Run Your Mouth’, ‘Deep End’ and ‘Four Leaf Clover’ have added to his growing collection of hits.

His 2024 breakthrough album Actin’ Up Again became the year’s most-streamed major-label country debut, while 2025 follow-up Own Worst Enemy debuted at number four on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart after pulling in more than 25 million US streams in its first week.

Adcock’s route into music was hardly conventional. Raised in Watkinsville, Georgia, he grew up working on his family’s cattle farm and dreamed of becoming a professional bull rider. A football injury in 2021 changed those plans, giving him time to focus on writing and recording songs. Five years later, he’s touring internationally and supporting Morgan Wallen on major stadium dates.

His reputation has been built as much on his live shows as his recordings. With a rough-edged voice, punchy choruses and an approach that owes little to Nashville polish, Adcock has found an audience hungry for country music with a bit more bite.

Following his introduction to Australian crowds at CMC Rocks, the March dates will be his first opportunity to headline shows here. Sydney fans get the opening night at Roundhouse, with Adcock arriving off the back of a North American tour that has continued to expand in response to demand.
