Off the back of his recent capital city tour in support his #1 ARIA Australian Album ‘Good Life’, multi-platinum, ARIA award winning genre-defying artist Illy has announced an extensive regional Australian ‘The Good-Er Life’ Tour for August – November.
Kicking off in Canberra on Friday 1 August at UC Hub and finishing up in Mildura on Saturday 1 November at The Setts, the 27-date regional tour will see Illy take his boisterous, acclaimed live show to most pockets of Australia, hitting ACT, NSW, TAS, QLD, WA and VIC.
Hyped on his March/April album tour, Illy says “Finally getting to do the Good Life tour was, no shit, life affirming. I loved every second of it, whether it was playing the new album, the big bangers, or meeting people after. I even loved the hungover flights the next morning (maybe not as much). So now that we’ve got a taste for it, I am READY and counting down the days til the Good-er Life tour starts. We’re the most locked in we’ve been in years on stage, and when we’re in this mode, no one does it better. Get involved, see you there. Can’t wait”.
The regional run of shows follows the recent release of ‘Good Life Deluxe Edition’. Joining the acclaimed fourteen-track album is 2023 standalone single Hopeless feat. Indiana Massara, new track Free Hand and acoustic versions of singles Kids and Good Life. The album has seen Illy work with a number of key producers, writers and artists including Sofia Reyes, Johnny Took from DMA’s, Xavier Dunn, Kuren, Tones And I, Hevenshe and Jungleboi. LISTEN HERE.
Illy has seamlessly straddled the line between hip hop and pop throughout his decorated career, embracing new sonic inspirations across each of his six critically acclaimed studio albums. After receiving his third ARIA nomination for 2013 record ‘Cinematic’ – home to 3x platinum single and fan-favourite Tightrope – Illy’s follow up project ‘Two Degrees’ (2016) shot to #1 on the ARIA charts, featuring multi-platinum collaborations Papercuts feat. Vera Blue (5x), and Catch 22 feat. Anne-Marie (3x). 2021’s ‘The Space Between’ marked Illy’s second ARIA #1 album, with lead single Then What ticking over to 2x ARIA platinum. An ARIA Award winner for Best Live Act, Illy has performed at high profile festivals including Falls Festival, Splendour In The Grass, Snow Machine, and Spilt Milk. In 2023, his ‘Ausmusic Medley’ reached #12 in triple j’s Hottest 100 of Like A Version.
