Just weeks after releasing their stunning cover of The Chain, Tori Darke and Brad Butcher have announced a massive Australian tour for 2025.
The newly-announced tour kicks off early next year, with the pair playing 20 dates together across Queensland, Victoria, and New South Wales between January and April.
Launching at Lefty's Music Hall in Queensland, the pair will visit some of the country music's favourite venues and cities – including Tamworth, Rockhampton, and Bundaburg –performing cuts from their eclectic catalogues in front of old friends and fresh faces.
Darke and Butcher’s tour announcement is just the latest big headline in their already-impressive careers this year alone. While Darke has been a firm favourite of country fans for over a decade, Butcher has released five albums, and is a a two-time Golden Guitar Award Winner and a QLD Music award winner.
Earlier this year, their respective appearances on The Voice resulted in coach LeAnn Rimes floating the idea to make them a duo on the show. Sure enough, the gamble paid off, and a cover version of Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain won them fans the world over.
Just last month, they officially released the track as a single, with Butcher reflecting on the success of the cover thus far. “When we signed up for The Voice Australia not in a million years would I have predicted what happen,” he said.
Tickets to Darke and Butcher’s tour are on sale now.
