You don't sell over two million copies of your debut album without some serious hard work, and Australian singer/songwriter Vance Joy has never been shy of major elbow grease. When Vance Joy first cut his teeth performing at open mic nights in Melbourne, he was feeding on a diet of artists like The Pogues and Paul Kelly. By 2013 he was ready to introduce the world to his ukulele-led charm 'Riptide', which became an instant global classic. The connection and journey his music was about to have on the world in years to come was an unexpected reward to the young songwriter.
Vance Joy (born James Keogh) consolidated on that first impression with further anthems 'Mess is Mine', 'Georgia' and 'Fire and the Flood'. Those hits all found a home on the 2014's debut 'dream your life away'. Vance Joy spent 2013 and 2014 playing clubs around the world before the album was released which then saw him surface everywhere from singing on the American Idol Season Final to being handpicked to open Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour, festivals from Lollapalooza in Chicago and South America, to Coachella, Splendour in the Grass and the AFL Grand Final. After his successful Sold Out 2016 'Fire and The Flood' North American theatre run, and Australian performances at the Sydney Opera House, Margaret Court Arena and Riverstage he took a well-earned rest.
Come July 2017 - Vance Joy kicked off the campaign for his sophomore album 'Nation of Two' with the lead single 'Lay It On Me' showing it was destined to be another successful album. The track was followed six months later with the album and follow up single 'Saturday Sun', a tune so good that he held up delivering Nation of Two to ensure it made the cut.
The success of 'Nation of Two' saw Vance Joy tour the world throughout 2018 on the 'Nation of Two World Tour' ranging in venues from Arena's across Canada, amphitheatres in North America including the famous Red Rocks, the first Latin American headline shows, theatres across Europe and Arena's across Australia including two sold-out hometown shows at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena. November 2018, the end of the 83 date World Tour, Vance Joy had yet another offer to tour with one of the world's biggest female artists. P!NK extended an offer for Vance Joy to join her European stadium run on her Beautiful Trauma World Tour. Summer 2019 saw Vance Joy and band join her biggest tour to date and enjoy an extensive run of Stadium shows across Europe before taking another well-earned break to work on album number three.
In 2021 Vance Joy returned with 'Missing Piece', the song soon hit x2 Platinum in Australia, #1 at USA Triple A Radio, #2 on the Australian Radio Chart, #2 at the USA and Canada Alternative Radio Chart and won Best Video at the ARIA Awards. Released in June 2022, 'In Our Own Sweet Time', the third album by Vance Joy featured hit single, 'Clarity' which peaked at #3 on the USA Alt Radio Charts. The song spent one week at #1, nine weeks in the Top 5 and eleven weeks in the Top 10 on the Triple A Radio Charts in the US. In Australia, Vance Joy received 5 ARIA Nominations after the album's release including, Best Solo Artist, Best Adult Contemporary Artist, Best Pop Release for Clarity, Song of the Year for Clarity and Best Video for Every Side of You. Winning Best Video for the 2nd year in a row.
With 5 billion streams across all platforms, it's no surprise that listeners all over the world connect to Vance Joys intimate yet anthemic song writing. His lyrics take you on a journey that will reach out and hold you for a delicate moment. Bringing together a unique, charming mix of folk music with pop influences, these songs capture the familiar pulse of everyday experiences in a unique and celebratory manner.
Okay performance. Short and not particularly inspired.
The Vance Joy show was great!! My only issue is that Vance Joy only performed for 1 hour and 20 minutes. I feel that was a bit short for the amount paid for the tickets.
Great show but I was disappointed he only played for an hour and 20 minutes
Great night. Would see him again in an instant. The bass was amazing, the horns and sax musicians were amazing. Loved the stage lighting. And that lead singer guy..... not to shabby. He can sing.
I have been to many concerts to see many different artists, bands, and groups. Hands down, Vance Joy performance was the best experience I have ever had. Voice was amazing. The musical instruments was amazing. They didn’t need all the extra visuals and effects for you to enjoy their performance. It was pure music. I would definitely go see them again when I get the chance.
I have admired his music for quite some time and this is the first time I have seen him live. What an amazing show! It was so great to see so many generations of people there. That shows that his music reaches across many different generations. You could feel the energy in the room when he came on. His voice is amazing and his talented man behind him made it even better. You can see that Vance cares about his fans and wants to give them a great experience. This was definitely one of the best concert I’ve been to in quite some time. I can’t wait to see him live again!
I didn't particularly like his opening act, I wish there was a bigger named band but I thought Vance's performance was excellent; his energy and his talent! I loved it!
First time seeing Vance Joy on stage and not disappointed at all. The show was incredible, dancing, full of joy and singing all the songs that I love
Clean professional and energetic performance by Vance Joy and stirring work from the opening band Tiny Habits.
You would think we had great tickets…Section 107 Row 1. The concert itself was great Vance Joy was great. The Japanese House was great, tho their lighting was quite off. We had the pleasure of having everyone directed to walk through Row 1 which is a bit wider than regular rows. It was pretty disruptive. As this seating came with access to a separate drinks and washroom area. The concert stage was set up at one end of the arena which made it a tough go for your neck by the end of the show but again Vance Joy is so enjoyable it could be overlooked.
