Homegrown multi ARIA award winning, singer-songwriter Amy Shark has today announced a massive headline tour of Australia in June/July 2021 in support of her highly anticipated sophomore album, CRY FOREVER, set for release April 30, 2021 and available to pre-order now. Shark's national CRY FOREVER tour will be the Gold Coast local's most ambitious live undertaking yet in some of the largest venues Australia has to offer, and to celebrate the announcement she's today shared a new tune from the album, 'All the Lies About Me'. The tour will kick off at Qudos Bank Arena (Sydney) on June 12, before moving through to Rod Laver Arena (Melbourne) on June 18, Wrest Point Lawns (Hobart) June 19, HOTA (Gold Coast) June 25, Riverstage (Brisbane) June 26, Adelaide Entertainment Centre July 1, and will finish up in Perth at RAC Arena on July 3. Tickets are on sale Friday 11 December at 10am local time and are available from www.amyshark.com. 
 
Amy Shark sold in excess of 45,000 tickets in 2019 across her metro and regional tours, with her regional tour last week picking up the ARIA for 'Best Australian Live Act', paired with her ARIA win for 'Best Pop Release' for 'Everybody Rise'. The CRY FOREVER tour will see Shark level up, rolling out world class production and musicianship as she brings her anticipated new album to life in arenas across Australia. 
 
No stranger to the big stage, Amy Shark has headlined many major festivals, along with winning over the entire stadium at Fire Fight and wowing a huge national audience with her recent NRL Grand Final appearance. Guaranteed to delight fans across Australia, this career defining must-see tour promises to feature stand out performances of songs from the critically acclaimed LOVE MONSTER album, fan faves from the NIGHT THINKER EP and of course brand new music from CRY FOREVER including ARIA winning, platinum accredited 'Everybody Rise'which is nearing 20 million streams globally and spent 12 weeks in the top 10 Australian airplay chart.  
 
"I am so proud of this album and it's time to hand these songs over to the fans," says Shark. "To announce a tour of this size, after the year we have been through, gives me hope that the world is heading back to normality. I will give every show every part of me, this is going to be massive and I am counting down the days to perform."
 
CRY FOREVER is the follow up to Amy Shark's 2018 #1 ARIA Album Of The Year, LOVE MONSTER and is available to pre-order now via Wonderlick/Sony Music Entertainment. Written and recorded between the US, UK, New Zealand and Shark's home studio on the Gold Coast, her exceptional songwriting is on full display here, co-producing with A-List producers: Dann Hume (ARIA 2018 & 2019 Producer Of The year), M-Phazes (Ruel, Eminem), Joel Little (Lorde, Taylor Swift), Jamie Hartman (Lewis Capaldi, Rag 'n' Bone Man), Dan Wilson (Adele, Leon Bridges) and Sammy Witte (Harry Styles, King Princess). CRY FOREVER will also see Shark team up with Grammy award winning artist Keith Urban following on from her latest collaboration with Blink 182's Travis Barker on new single, 'C'MON'. 
 
Through Shark's honest and emotional storytelling, CRY FOREVER is set to be an evolution from her debut album LOVE MONSTER, "I am now a more confident musician and person than the Amy of 2018, and I feel like I am ready to share some moments from my life that I wasn't previously ok to talk about," says Shark, "These are some of the most personal and confronting songs I've ever written, and I can't wait to share them with everyone." And to celebrate the album and tour announcement, Shark has dropped a new track, 'All The Lies About Me', featuring her trademark soaring vocals, powerful lyrics and acoustic guitar. "This song is me at my most confused, broken and lonely. It's not easy hearing things about yourself that simply aren't true. Sometimes the noise gets too loud, so I had to write this song as it's the only way I can talk."

 
Amy Shark has come a long way since her breakthrough single Adore.  As shared on her Instagram account - in just a few years she has gone from moving 82 tickets in her home state of Queensland, to selling out arena-sized venues all across the country. After bursting on to the global music scene in 2016, her 5 x Platinum single 'Adore' put her on the map as one of Australia's most formidable emerging songwriters. This was followed by 4 x Platinum and number one Australian Airplay Chart hit, 'I Said Hi' and the 2019 2 x platinum single 'Mess Her Up'. Shark's debut/breakthrough #1 ARIA album and Platinum-certified LOVE MONSTER was recognised in 2018 with four ARIA awards (Album of the Year, Best Female Artist, Best Pop Release, Best Producer [Dann Hume]), and was nominated for another five. LOVE MONSTER went on to become the highest selling album by an Australian artist for 2018. 
 
Undoubtedly, 2021 is poised to be an even bigger year for Amy Shark with the release of her sophomore record and national CRY FOREVER tour. 

CRY FOREVER is set for release on April 30, 2021 and is available to pre-order now via Wonderlick/Sony Music Entertainment Australia. 

The CRY FOREVER tour will be held with a commitment to a COVID Safe environment.  TEG LIVE will work closely with and comply with all requirements of the public health authorities in respect of these shows.
