For A Day On The Green, the Wicked Game singer will be joined by an abundance of Australian talent, including indie rockers Boy & Bear, Vika & Linda, Mark Seymour & The Undertow (all cities excluding Victoria), Ella Hooper (Victorian exclusive), and Mason Watts (Queensland exclusive).

“I am sitting on my front porch in Nashville, Tennessee and smiling,” Isaak began in a statement about his upcoming Australian tour dates. “I have been stuck in my house for nine days because of the snow. But I have been in a great mood as I know I’m going back to Australia! I think it’s my favourite place to tour… or just hang out. I’m so ready! Bring on the sun! Bring on the beach! I think I’m gonna wax my guitar…. I told you I was excited!”
In a review of Isaak’s show at King’s Park & Botanic Garden, Perth, in 2016, The Music’s Dan Cribb declared: “There was a number of genre leaps that saw them roll through country, pop, rock’n’roll, blues and soul; a mixture only someone with a voice as diverse, powerful and soothing as Isaak could pull off.”
