The Vamps

It’s time! Following huge excitement surrounding the news that The Vamps will be returning to Australia next January, Frontier Touring can finally reveal all the finer details of the UK four-piece’s huge Allphones Arena show next Saturday 23 January.

Watch The Vamps’ special video announcement here.

With reserved seating tickets priced from just $19.90 (*plus transaction and processing fees) and a huge line up of talent joining the bill as special guests, Sydney will kick off the year by playing host to an all ages festival event headlined by one of the hottest pop acts on the planet!

When The Vamps announced their return last month, the pre-orders for the Wake Up single EP went straight to #1 in the UK iTunes Album Chart and #5 here in Australia. The premiere of the ‘Wake Up’ music video, guest starring good friend and fellow Brit Brooklyn Beckham, inspired a similar reaction with 2.5 million YouTube views and counting.

It appears that Wake Up is set to pick up where debut album Meet The Vamps left off, which earned The Vamps a multi-platinum album in countless countries across the globe and ten million single sales worldwide for tracks like ‘Somebody To You’, ‘Can We Dance’ and ‘Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart)’.

Hailing from across the United States and united via YouTube, The Tide are The Vamps’ latest protégées, the first signing to their very own record label, and have toured across Europe, the UK and North America alongside them. They’ll be continuing the fun at Allphones Arena, armed with killer covers like Justin Bieber’s ‘What Do You Mean’, Taylor Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’ and Shawn Mendes’ ‘Stitches’ plus, if audiences are lucky, a taster of their debut single and album which are due for release in 2016!

Sydney’s own Little Sea will be bringing a hometown flavour to the show. Fresh off supporting 5 Seconds Of Summer on their huge Australian tour last year and completing a sold out tour of their own this July, the pop-rock outfit will be hitting the road again throughout December in celebration of their major label debut EP With You, Without You (out now via Sony Music Australia). Their pop-rock injected tunes like ‘Change For Love’ and ‘The Lucky Ones’ are the perfect fit for The Vamps’ one-off Sydney show in January.

At Sunset, featuring brothers Harrison and Andrew Kantarias plus their good mate Tom Jay Williams, have amassed more than five million YouTube views, 300k followers on Twitter and a million on Facebook in their two years on the scene. In addition to being announced as Nova FM’s Fresh Discover which included a deal with Warner Music Australia and a mentoring session with Ed Sheeran, At Sunset were recently named the 2015 winners of MTV’s Brand New campaign. The good times keep coming for the Adelaide group as they join The Vamps on stage in 2016. 

Rounding out the line-up is up and coming Australian YouTuber Tyde Levi who will be treating the crowd to DJ sets in between the amazing line up of bands. Brother of fellow artist and YouTube sensation Troye Sivan, Tyde has amassed more than 425k subscribers and 13.3 million views on his YouTube channel which features travel videos, vlogs, musical covers and live DJ sets.

Tickets to this special event are on sale from 10am AEDT on Saturday 7 November but Frontier Touring and The Vamps are giving one lucky fan a chance to score two front row tickets before they even go on sale. Even better, this winner and their guest will also have the chance to meet the band at the show!

To win, fans need to wake up a friend or loved one by blasting The Vamps’ single ‘Wake Up’ and film their reaction. They then upload the footage to their social media channel of choice, using the hashtag #wakeupoz. Along the way, The Vamps and Frontier Touring will be sharing some of their favourite submissions. For more info, check out the competition section on the right hand side of this page.

If a ticket to this huge pop event is not quite enough, fans will have the opportunity to add a copy of the Wake Up album to their ticket purchase so that they can perfect the lyrics ahead of the show.

Kick off the New Year in style with a huge live show from The Vamps and their incredible line up of special guests. Priced from just $19.90 (plus transaction and processing fees), tickets will not last long – don’t miss out!
