announces debut Australian tour
Heading to our shores in March 2027 off the back of new album
My Midwest Best
Nashville-via-Ohio artist
KNOX
will make his first trip to Australian shores in March 2027, bringing the pop-punk sounds of his forthcoming sophomore album
My Midwest Best
to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
The singer-songwriter broke onto the scene with 2022 single "

drawing global critical acclaim.
KNOX
has performed at Lollapalooza and Hangout Fest, collaborated with Bilmuri and HARDY and earned co-signs from Ed Sheeran and Matt Healy. His live shows are consistently praised for having a palpable stage presence, electric energy and a genuine connection with his audiences.
Raised in New Carlisle, Ohio,
KNOX
grew up on a diet of Fall Out Boy, All-American Rejects, Boys Like Girls, Panic! At The Disco and Hawthorne Heights before relocating to Nashville in 2019 to build a career as a songwriter.
My Midwest Best
sees
KNOX
return to his roots, both sonically and personally. The album's 12 tracks channel that early-2000s pop-punk and emo influence into what he describes as material built for the stage.
"My Midwest Best is my proudest work to date,"
says Knox
. "It's the culmination of all the music I grew up listening to and all the music I learned how to make along the way. A representation of where I'm from and what it sounded like growing up in the middle of nowhere, Ohio."
Due for release on Friday 2 October,
My Midwest Best
uncorks a burst of Warped Tour-appropriate energy tailormade for soundtracking a montage from your favourite teen comedy, the best date you’ve ever been on, or a festival set at sundown.
Absorb it all in Australia for the first time in March 2027.
