Sheppard Talks to Billboard Ahead of First U.S. Tour in Two Years

It has been two years since Brisbane, Australia pop-rock group Sheppard splashed onto the music scene with their debut album Bombs Away and their certified-Platinum single "Geronimo." However, this November they are set to return for a headlining North American tour that will begin on Nov. 13 in San Francisco and run through Nov. 27 in Chicago.

"We couldn't be more excited to finally visit the U.S.A. again," the band tells Billboard. "We hope to show the U.S. fans what else we have up our sleeves."

The band has been building on the momentum of their 2015 debut by focusing on a bigger, broader sound that they hope will soar to arena-sized heights. This was confirmed by the string of tracks to roll out over 2017, including "Keep Me Crazy" in March and the latest, an exuberant single called "Edge Of The Night."

Multi-platinum recording artist Sheppard are set to tour the US this November - marking their first headlining tour in the States since their hit "Geronimo." The run kicks off in San Francisco on November 13th and wraps up in Chicago on November 27th. Tickets are on-sale now and can be purchased
