About
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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 BEST concert I have ever been to!
by torontoconcert on 2017-11-01The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoI regularly go to concerts but this was the very best I have ever been to. Vance was absolutely amazing live and there were moments where I think I just starred with my jaw dropped to the floor. It was worth getting there early and getting close to the stage. After being a fan for years this concert was such a treat, and I hope he returns to Toronto again so that I can attend over again! As a bonus the opening acts were both great and I've listened to more of their music since. The Danforth Music Hall is the perfect venue and I was so happy he played there! Please come back soon!

by andy1989 on 2017-10-30The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoGreat venue to see Vance. Intimate. Glad I got to see him in this venue before he gets too big! Played a lot from Dream Your Life Away and a few from his new (unreleased) album. I wish he had released it pre-tour so we could know it while he played. Great vibe. Including a Lionel Richie - All night Long/ Justin Bieber -Sorry cover. Finale was Rip Tide with the ukelele. Simply amazing.

by Christine64 on 2016-02-03Metropolis - MontrealVance Joy is an amazing folk singer-songwriter. Handsome, great stature, devastating smile, he brings you in a beautiful dream with every songs he sings. With his flexible voice that permits him to go in high notes, he just sings with a remarkable ease. He's full of emotions and can make us smile or cry without even knowing it. Love the show but it was to short.

by KayBee16 on 2016-02-01Metropolis - MontrealThe voice is amazing. Not long enough, he would need to jam a bit his songs. The cover of Paul Simon was amazing ! The musicians should be closer of the signer. Great show !
Rating: 4 out of 5by CassMaga on 2016-02-01Massey Hall - Toronto Opening band Reuben and the Dark were pretty good, a bit mellow. Vance Joy opened with Mess is Mine and the crowd went wild. Without giving away too much, he did a hilarious cover/mash up that had everyone on their feet. Awesome night, just too short.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Vance Joy was one of the best live performances!

by outdooradventurer on 2016-01-23Orpheum Theatre - VancouverConcert was great. Just wish it lasted longer. I have to write more apparently. He was very personal but wanted a longer set. Great music

Rating: 4 out of 5 Great Concert But Loud
by DiscerningTaste on 2016-01-21Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - CalgaryOverall, Vance Joy and Reuben & The Dark put on a great show. My only complaint would have to be the volume of the music - it was far too loud. The other 5 people I know, who also attended this concert, felt the same way. The Jubilee is acoustically, much better than a stadium and the volume didn't need to be so high.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Super fun!
by Smile22 on 2016-01-21Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - EdmontonMy brother and I had an absolute blast! The Jube was the most perfect place to see him and he played old and new songs.. really got you grooving at times! I would see him again in a heartbeat!
