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.

Vance Joy really know how to connect with the people, his singing is flawless and his show entertaining. The venue is great as well, no matter where you are you feel right next to the artist
My husband and I took our 13 year old daughter and all three of us loved this show. Vance Joy is a talented and humble young man. It was a pleasure to get to know him and hear his music!
I wasn't familiar with the venue, but it was very clean, new, and great sound. I didn't mind sitting for the majority of the show in the seats, seats were comfortable and provided a great view. Vance Joy puts on a great show, he sounded awesome, and his band was also great.
Loved the venue, was intimate and easy to navigate! The show was fantastic, I'm so glad I went!!
The venue was wonderful, we had 4 tickets to see Vance Joy and we were pleasantly surprised on how much we liked the opening act. They were both very good.
Vance Joy was awesome. The musicians were spot on and super in a supportive role. I fell in love all over again with the songs.
Saw him in Nashville in June 2022 and he was fantastic! The show really made me appreciate his newer work and I’m excited to see him again.
LOVE Vance Joy, he was absolutely amazing and the venue was perfect for the occasion. 10/10 experience
Absolutely LOVED Vance Joy! He was awesome! The sound quality was awesome. Beautiful venue.
I really enjoyed being able to see Vance Joy live. He and his crew put on such an amazing performance! I also appreciated being able to purchase the 'standing' tickets - this helped me be able to see him!
The venue and floor was really nice and an easy experience. Lots of resources with a small crowd. The sound from the floor was good.
First time here at the YouTube theater. Everything was very nice and new. Staff was all friendly and helpful. Parking was very easy and not too far away from the venue. There are quite a lot of stairs to get into the venue (sure they have elevators for those who need it). Only other critique would be the sizes of the bathrooms - for a brand new facility you would think they would make them a little larger to help prevent a line.
Vance Joy did not disappoint. Sounded amazing and great energy.
Love Vance Joy. Great concert. Enjoyed the show very much. Venue was great. Floor admission was nice. Not overly crowded and a lot of free space available. I'd also say any seat at the YouTube Theater would be a good one.
First time seeing Vance Joy as well as going to the YouTube venue. Both experiences were amazing. Very much looking forward to seeing more shows there. The only negative was getting out of the parking lot after the show. It took about 45 minutes. All in all, it was worth it.
It was our first time at the YouTube theater which is beautiful and was very easy to find parking and get into. Our 3rd row balcony seats were great! Then Vance came out and was magical. He was so happy and told great stories. His voice was on point and played all his best songs!! The only disappointment was it ended too soon. I wish he would have played for another hour!
Vance Joy was amazing!!! He had an amazing vibe and energy the whole time. I loved how he shared personal experiences that made everyone feel like he was talking to you one on one. Would highly recommend seeing him, i definitely would love to see him again💖
Great venue , like minded fans, awesome energy. Thank you Fox and Vance for a great time. Got a drum stick , guitar pick and set list. A perfect show !!
This man is a such a great live performer! Great show! He is a must see!
Vance Joy and Jack Botts performed wonderfully! Fox theatre is so beautiful and the sound is amazing. Always a good time.
