Australian Pop Sensation Sheppard to Perform in Franklin

Australian pop sensations Sheppard have announced a new US headline tour following the release of their eagerly-awaited album, ZORA. The tour kicks off on August 20th at Denver’s Summit Music Hall and will see them perform at the Franklin Theatre on September 14th.

The band’s fourth studio album, ZORA, has made a splash by debuting at the top of the ARIA Australian Album Charts and securing the #8 spot on the ARIA Overall Album Charts. This achievement places them among big names like Gracie Abrams, Taylor Swift, Charli XCX, Morgan Wallen, The Weeknd, Chappell Roan, Luke Combs, and Olivia Rodrigo. Notably, Sheppard was the only Australian act to crack the Top 40.

The release of ZORA aligns with the ten-year anniversary of their global hit “Geronimo”, a song that has gone viral once again. The sibling trio, consisting of George, Amy, and Emma Sheppard, moved from Brisbane to Nashville in 2023. This relocation was driven by their desire to connect more with their US and Canadian fans.

In June, Sheppard embarked on a tour that took them to Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and New York. These pre-album release shows were met with sold-out crowds and enthusiastic receptions. The overwhelming response prompted the band to extend their Say Geronimo! tour, celebrating “Geronimo” surpassing one billion streams.

“We knew fans wanted live shows,” the trio shared, “but the love and response from fans took our breath away.” The extended tour offers an opportunity to bring the new album ZORA to fans across the United States.
