Whenever I get a press release about an up-and-coming artist touring, I love to fire up Spotify and listen to their music. If I’m not into it, I won’t write about it. You all deserve better than that. Imagine my surprise when I entered in vaultboy’s name into my search to discover I’d already “liked” one of his songs. As I pressed play on “everything sucks,” it all came back to me. As I type, I’m listening to more of his music and getting incredibly tempted to snap up a couple of tickets to his upcoming shows.
After all, you can guarantee that when he comes back he won’t be playing the intimate bars he’s gracing this time around. He’s generating some serious buzz at the moment. Rolling Stone named him the King of Sad Songs while SiriusXM’s Hits 1 said he was “one to watch.” He’s also notched up more than 250 million streams across all platforms. Nearly 3.5 million people listen to him every month on Spotify and he’s got close to 2 million followers on TikTok.
Which all means that if you want tickets to vaultboy’s first Australian tour, you’d better get onto it when they go on sale on Tuesday at 11 am. They will not last.
