Following her 2018 debut album I’m Dreaming Melbourne's Alice Ivy has since performed more than 250 shows worldwide, including Australian national tours with Billie Eilish, Foster The People, Flight Facilities, Vera Blue and The Jungle Giants, alongside playing SXSW 2018, Falls Festival, Listen Out and Splendour In The Grass.
Castlemaine's Kian stepped into the limelight in 2018 when he won the Triple J Unearthed High competition with the song Waiting, written when he was only 14. It became the most played local song on Australian radio for the first half of 2019, going double platinum, and amassing more than 50 million streams on Spotify.
Now 17, Kian has performed at the Laneway Festival and Splendour in the Grass, and has a global deal with Republic Records.
Before last year's The Push tour was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, the 2019 tour saw guitarist and singer-songwriter Ruby Fields and Indigenous rapper Baker Boy perform in sold-out events across Victoria.
Tickets for this year's tour, including the Shepparton gig, are on sale now through Moshtix.
The event is set to be dependent on Victorian COVID-19 restrictions at the time.
