Approximate Running Times: Doors - 6:00pm Support - 7:00pm Main - 8:00pm Following the chart-topping success of his 2020 Platinum-certified album T.R.U.T.H. , and a sold-out national tour that cemented his reputation as one of Australia's most beloved live performers, Guy returns to stages across the country for an epic run of all ages shows from April to May 2026. Fans can expect a banging set filled with Guy's biggest hits, think Battle Scars, Before I Go and Choir alongside new tracks from 100 Times Around The Sun, a soul-filled, heartfelt record brimming with optimism, perspective and signature Sebastian power vocals. "I honestly can't wait to get back on stage and perform these new songs live," says Guy. "This album is all about joy, perspective, and connection and nothing brings that to life more than a live show. Touring is the most fulfilling part of what I do. I love seeing the power of music bring people together. It's why I do this. .
