Hozier Captivates Sydney Crowds at Sold-Out Concert While Kicking Off Australian Tour
Hozier launched his Australian tour with a sold-out concert at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, showcasing his greatest hits. Dressed in a stylish outfit, he captivated the audience. Upcoming performances include Pokolbin and Brisbane. Despite his success, Hozier's single "Too Sweet" was overlooked in the recent Grammy nominations, despite topping charts globally.
Hozier commenced his highly awaited Australian tour on Friday at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, delivering a captivating performance to a sold-out crowd. The Irish musician, who is officially known as Andrew John Hozier-Byrne, showcased his popular hits while sporting a stylish outfit.
Hozier's Tour Details and Performance Highlights
Hozier is currently on his Hozier: Unreal Unearth Tour 2024, with the Australian leg debuting this week. His show at Qudos Bank Arena highlighted his signature sound and stage presence, impressing fans with memorable tracks that defined his career. Dressed in a white dress shirt layered over a vest and under a wool blazer, the artist paired his ensemble with grey trousers and white sneakers, while his trademark flowing curls framed his face.
Upcoming Performances Across Australia
Following his successful kickoff in Sydney, Hozier is set to perform in Pokolbin, New South Wales at Roche Estate on Saturday. Additionally, he will grace the stage at Riverstage in Brisbane, Queensland, as fans eagerly anticipate his appearances throughout Australia during this tour.
Grammy Nominations Reveal Snub for Hozier
Despite his successful tour launch, Hozier faced disappointment as he was overlooked for a Grammy nomination this year. The 2025 Grammy Award nominations were revealed on Friday, highlighting artists such as Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Chappell Roan with significant recognition. Hozier's recent single, Too Sweet, which was part of his fifth studio EP titled Unheard released earlier this March, did not receive a nod in the major categories. The single topped charts in multiple countries, including the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Iceland, Norway, Australia, and New Zealand, and also achieved number one on several U.S. Billboard charts. This stark contrast to his earlier success, when his iconic track Take Me To Church earned a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year a decade ago, adds to the unexpected turn of events in Hozier's accolades.
