Following his successful tour with Keith Urban in August 2025, one of country’s boldest new voices, CHASE MATTHEW, has announced his return to Australia with a run of headline shows for his Holdin’ It Down Tour, alongside his appearance at Meatstock next April. Chase will be joined by special guest Austin Williams, a fellow Nashville artist also making waves in the country scene.
ABOUT CHASE MATTHEW:
Rolling out new music like “First” with big moves on tap, Warner Music Nashville’s Chase Matthew continues to make his case as one of Country’s boldest new voices. A Music City native, the rising star began his career by blazing an independent trail, leveraging an infectious country-or-nothing personality, rowdy live performances, and authentic music build around his low-slung vocal twang. Amassing 1 BILLION+ global career streams (with more than 315 MILLION global streams on his first RIAA Platinum-certified smash, “Country Line”), Matthew has garnered 1.5 MILLION+ followers across social media; named “One to Watch” by HITS; Opry NextStage Class of 2024; and among MusicRow’s Next Big Thing Class of 2024.
Since releasing his sophomore album, Come Get Your Memory, he spent 2023 selling out venues across the nation on his headline COME GET YOUR MEMORY TOUR, while also appearing at major festivals and more. His GOLD-certified debut single “Love You Again” is Top 15-and-rising at Country radio, and along with releasing his six song EP We All Grow Up – a mix of backroad swagger and broken hearts – he’s set to spend this year extending his wildly popular headline trek, and recently supported Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan on their summer runs.
ABOUT AUSTIN WILLIAMS:
Born and raised near Nashville, TN in the small town of Pleasant View, Austin was faced with a life changing surgery at the age of fifteen. During this down time, he discovered his passion for writing and singing. He taught himself to play the guitar and went after his newfound love. He has been honoured to play and write with Chase Matthew, Mo Pitney, Kevin Denney, Craig Campbell, and others. Fans have quickly gravitated to Austin’s sound, songs, and personality on TikTok, gathering over 200,000 followers in a three week time period after first teasing songs. Williams’ release “90s Rap Mashup” debuted at #1 on the iTunes country charts and #3 on the iTunes all genre charts, later landing on Pandora’s Top Hits Station. Recently, he has toured with Warren Zeiders, Larry Fleet, Austin Snell, and Tyler Hubbard just to name a few. Now with a following totalling over 800,000 across platforms and over 185 million cumulative streams, Williams is actively releasing new music.
