Jackson Dean
US country star, Jackson Dean makes his anticipated return, bringing the On The Back Of My Dreams World Tour to Australia and New Zealand this October.
Bursting on to the scene in 2022, Jackson Dean quickly drew likeness to legendary artists Chris Stapleton and Eric Church, with platinum breakout single ‘Don’t Come Lookin’’ putting the newcomer on the country music map. With the track earning multiple weeks at #1 on the Australian Country Radio Chart, it also became the fastest debut to reach No.1 in the US in 2022. This achievement awarded Jackson the accolade of the youngest solo male Country artist to reach the top of the charts on debut.
Dean made his Australian debut in 2023 with a series of intimate headline shows before returning in 2024 to an unforgettable performance at CMC Rocks QLD, followed by performing as special guest on Lainey Wilson’s Australian tour. With his strong gravel-toned vocals, wayward spirit, intentional songwriting and overall mystique, the fast-rising singer/songwriter is quickly earning a reputation for his impressive live show and thought-provoking, lyric-driven music.
Entering an impressive and bold new chapter, Dean will return in 2025 to showcase his most recent album On The Back Of My Dreams featuring fan favourite ‘Train’ and live show stand out ‘Heavens To Betsy’ and brand new track ‘Be Your Man’ (out now via Big Machine Records) for Australian fans.
In what will be a groundbreaking return to Australia as well as signifying his highly anticipated New Zealand debut, don’t miss these incredible shows as Jackson Dean brings his exceptional live performances our way this October.
