Mark Wilkinson – Wild & Hunted Things Australian Tour
Australian singer-songwriter Mark Wilkinson is hitting the road this August and September, bringing his mesmerising brand of magic to the stage for the Wild & Hunted Things Tour!
Maintaining nearly 1 million listeners each month on Spotify and over 44K followers across his socials, Mark Wilkinson’s music has amassed over 150 million streams worldwide. His 2024 EP Golden Afternoons reached the #11 spot on the ARIA charts (digital), as well as multiple albums coming in at #1 on the Australian Independent music charts. Wilkinson has previously opened for some all-star names including the legendary Rodriguez, as well as the likes of Old Sea Brigade, Xavier Rudd, Seal, Brian Wilson, The Whitlams, Ian Moss and more.
Known for his incredible fusion of genre, which reaches into “eloquent folk, evocative indie, and enigmatic pop”, Wilkinson brings a unique and intoxicating sense of magic to the live stage. Capturing all the best parts of what his music has to offer on record, and transforming it into an intimate experience of connection and community, Wilkinson’s live show invites audiences to step into his own wondrous world.
Spanning seventeen dates across NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA and ACT, the tour will see the multi-instrumentalist performing tracks off of his new album Wild & Hunted Things, as well as diving into his formidable back catalogue of beloved tracks. With remarkable Sydney artist Mark Crotti set to support the show with his own variety of bewitching indie folk, the Wild & Hunted Things Tour is shaping up to be a breathtaking affair you won’t want to miss.
“I can’t wait to reconnect with my amazing Aussie fans and showcase the songs from the new album in a live format. I feel like the studio and the live environment are two very different things, both allowing the songs to shine in different ways. There’s a raw energy to the live shows that can’t really be replicated in the studio and I can’t wait to share that energy and some magical unfiltered moments with audiences across Australia!” MARK WILKINSON
