Acclaimed Canadian singer-songwriter Cameron Whitcomb confirms debut Australia & New Zealand shows for May 2026. Five-date The Hard Way Tour plays Auckland, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane & Sydney.
Known for his gritty voice, high-octane performances and raw storytelling, Cameron has quickly become one of country music’s most exciting new names. Since the release of his breakout 2024 EP Quitter, the 22-year-old has earned over 600 million global streams, headlined shows across North America and Europe, and landed on Spotify and Amazon Music’s 2025 Artists to Watch lists, all before dropping a full-length album.
On his debut album The Hard Way, Whitcomb now shares his most powerful work yet: a selection of songs that willfully stare down his demons, instilling every moment with equal parts grit and sensitivity and explosively poetic detail.
The Hard Way debuted at #1 on the Canadian Country Albums chart, establishing Whitcomb’s position as one of the leading voices in country music today.
Made in close collaboration with producer Jack Riley (Knox, Grace VanderWaal), The Hard Way includes Whitcomb’s chart-climbing singles ‘Medusa’ and ‘Quitter’ (ARIA Gold status and nominated for Single Of The Year at the 2025 Canadian Country Music Awards where he won Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Fan’s Choice), both of which continue to rack up over a million streams weekly in the U.S. and two million streams weekly across the globe.
“To say that Whitcomb brought the energy would be an understatement. After all, when was the last time you saw a performer do a backflip – make that two – in a concert?” - Country Standard Time
Experience the raw energy and authenticity of Cameron Whitcomb live on his debut tour of Australia and New Zealand this May!
