Multi-platinum global superstar Vance Joy has announced plans for a wide-ranging North American summer headline tour, including a stop in Halifax on August 26 at the Scotiabank Centre.

Vance Joy has won fans the world over with his intimate yet anthemic songwriting, an utterly captivating mix of folk music with pop influences that capture the familiar pulse of everyday experiences in a unique and celebratory manner. Currently boasting over 5B global streams across all platforms, Joy’s now-classic, RIAA 2x Platinum-certified debut album dream your life away instantly catapulted the Australian singer-songwriter to worldwide stardom upon its September 2014 release, fueled in part by his RIAA Diamond-certified-breakthrough single, “Riptide,” as well as such Platinum-certified hits as “Mess Is Mine” and “Georgia” and the Gold-certified fan favorite, “Fire and the Flood” (the latter featured on the album’s 2015 special edition). Joy continued his ascent with 2018’s Nation of Two and 2022’s In Our Own Sweet Time, both of which arrived on the upper reaches of charts worldwide amidst critical acclaim for his ever-engaging gift for human connection.

Known as a charming, charismatic live performer, Joy has lit up audiences around the globe with multiple sold-out world headline tours, show-stealing festival appearances, and a historic turn as main support on Taylor Swift’s “The 1989 World Tour.” 2023 saw the release of Vance Joy Live At The Sydney Opera House, a 16-track album recorded at the world-famous Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia, during the Australia/New Zealand leg of Joy’s epic “In Our Own Sweet Time World Tour.” In 2024, Joy celebrated the 10th anniversary of dream your life away with a very special headline run that saw sold-out performances at such world-famous venues as Los Angeles, CA’s Hollywood Bowl, Berkeley, CA’s The Greek Theatre, New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, and London’s OVO Arena Wembley.
