Dee Why will get a front-row seat to one of Australia’s most recognisable voices as Conrad Sewell brings his 10th anniversary Firestone tour to town in an intimate, acoustic show.
The Brisbane-born singer-songwriter will perform at Dee Why RSL on Saturday, 12 April, as part of a national tour celebrating a decade since his global hit Firestone with Kygo first took off.
The tour begins 4 April in Coffs Harbour and continues through regional towns and coastal centres, wrapping up in Kings Beach on 31 May.
A National Tour with Local Heart
Sewell’s upcoming regional tour is being billed as his biggest yet, not in scale but in connection. The acoustic shows will strip back the production and focus on the songwriting and stories behind his most popular songs. For fans in Dee Why and beyond, it’s a rare chance to experience his music in a more personal setting.
He said touring regional Australia has always held a special place in his heart, offering the chance to explore the country while performing for long-time supporters. He’s also using the tour to test out new music ahead of future releases, aiming to see how it lands with live audiences.
Joining him on the road will be René Le Feuvre, an emerging talent also based in Queensland, who is set to open each night across the tour.
A Decade Since Firestone
Originally released in 2014, Firestone shot Sewell into international recognition after teaming up with Norwegian DJ Kygo. The track has since clocked over 1 billion streams on Spotify, making it one of the most enduring electronic pop songs of the decade.
But Sewell’s career runs deeper than that one hit. He won an ARIA Award for Song of the Year with Start Again in 2015, and that same year, he and his sister Grace became the first Australian-born siblings to separately top the ARIA charts. In 2018, his single Healing Hands went triple platinum and also earned a nomination for Song of the Year.
In 2019, he released his debut album LIFE to strong reviews, reinforcing his place in Australia’s music landscape.
Back to the Roots
Sewell said many of his songs were written in quiet, acoustic moments—on a piano or guitar—and he wants the tour to reflect that. While his music has reached massive streaming numbers and global audiences, the aim of this tour is to return to the raw emotion and storytelling where it all started.
