Frontier Touring is excited to announce the return of American singer-songwriter Medium Build as he brings the King of Having Fun on Tour to Australia in January 2027 in celebration of his brand-new album.

Due to kick off the King of Having Fun on Tour this October with extensive headline dates across North America including multiple sold-out shows, the singer has today also announced European and UK dates in addition to Australia in what will be his biggest headline tour to date.

Visiting Australia twice in 2025, Medium Build played a series of headline shows across Australia and New Zealand as well as supporting Role Model on his national tour, before returning as special guest on Alex Warren’s 2025 tour later that year, which also included intimate headline dates of his own in Melbourne and Sydney. Now in 2027, Medium Build - aka Nick Carpenter – returns with a refreshed sense of self on his sixth studio album, King of Having Fun. Praised for its honest reflection on life, recovery and rebuilding, fans will experience the record live for the very first time.

Medium Build will kick off the Australian leg of the tour with a show at Lion Arts Factory, Adelaide on Monday 19 January before heading to Melbourne's Corner Hotel on Tuesday 19 January and The Triffid, Brisbane on Friday 22 January, before a final show at Sydney's Metro Theatre on Saturday 23 January.

Frontier Members can access their presale on Thursday 17 September from 10am local time before tickets go on sale on Friday 18 September from 10am local time. Tickets and tour information via frontiertouring.com/mediumbuild.

Watch: Medium Build – King of Having Fun

Following the breakout success of 2024's Country, Medium Build returns with King of Having Fun, his most cohesive, ambitious and joyful album to date. Created in the wake of a whirlwind rise that saw him grace major festival stages including Coachella, Outside Lands and Austin City Limits, the new record arrives after a transformative period of self-reflection and recovery. The result is a collection that channels newfound clarity, gratitude and optimism without sacrificing the raw honesty and emotional depth that have become his hallmark.

Recorded live in the studio alongside his closest friends and collaborators, King of Having Fun marks a departure from the bedroom-built approach of Carpenter's earlier work. Infused with a fresh rock-and-roll energy, soaring hooks and an expansive sound, the album blends Medium Build's signature indie, lo-fi and country influences with some of his most immediate and anthemic songwriting to date.

"With his trademark impassioned delivery intact and the music muscular enough to sustain it, Carpenter has assembled 14 of his best songs to date." - Billboard

"If you love your folk and country music, we might have found your next obsession.” - Today Show

Marking an era of refreshing self-discovery, Medium Build now returns to Australia with confident musicianship and a powerful live set to match. Catch him in these highly anticipated headline dates across January 2027.
