His single \u201cRock &amp; Roll\u201d featured on the homegrown drama <em>Packed to the Rafters<\/em>, helping drive the track to platinum certification in Australia, where it reached No. 1 in 2009. Hutchinson first toured the country supporting Jason Mraz and Kelly Clarkson in 2008 and 2009, but never returned for his own run. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI honestly have no idea why I never came back to Australia, other than the fact that it\u2019s super far away from New York City, where I live,\u201d he said in a statement, adding that the timing finally aligned after years of fan requests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe U.S. story ran in parallel. \u201cRock &amp; Roll\u201d earned Hutchinson his first gold record in the United States, though it never reached the Hot 100. Its parent album, <em>Sounds Like This<\/em>, first gained traction independently \u2014 a Perez Hilton co-sign pushed it to No. 5 on the iTunes Store in September 2007, before debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and earning a wide release through Warner Bros. Records in May 2008. He has since released a string of albums and built a touring-driven following well beyond the radio years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe run supports Hutchinson\u2019s latest album, the 2026 release <em>Repeating Myself<\/em>, billed as a return to the piano-driven pop and soul of that breakthrough. Australian sets are expected to mix the new material with catalog cuts including \u201cRock &amp; Roll,\u201d \u201cOK, It\u2019s Alright With Me\u201d and \u201cA Little More.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMarshall Hamburger, who won the tenth season of <em>Australian Idol <\/em>in 2025, will open for Hutchinson on tour.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   a-font-secondary-fancy-xl   \"><strong>Eric Hutchinson Australian Tour<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \"><em><strong>Presented by Teamwrk Touring &amp; MRG Live<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThursday, Nov. 19 \u2014 Lefty\u2019s Music Hall, Brisbane<br \/>Friday, Nov. 20 \u2014 Northcote Social Club, Melbourne<br \/>Saturday, Nov. 21 \u2014 The Lansdowne, Sydney<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/music-news\/eric-hutchinson-australian-headline-tour-1236284247\/&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Eric-Hutchinson-2026-Tour-Photo-credit-Rosalind-OConnor-e1782786628560.jpg?w=1024&#8243;] Trending on Billboard Eric Hutchinson is returning to Australia for the first time in 16 years, booking three East Coast theater shows in November for what will be his first-ever headline run in the country.
