Sheppard Bring Their International Tour Home For A One-Off Concert

Australian band Sheppard return to Brisbane for a homecoming show after extensive touring overseas.

The past months have seen the sibling pop trio tour relentlessly throughout the United States and Europe, with more shows still to come.

At the end of May, Sheppard performs at the Logan Entertainment Centre before jetting back to the States. “We’ve just been trying to reach as many fans as we possibly can, and we’re looking forward to being back in Australia for a show at the end of the month,” Amy Sheppard says.

“It’s getting hard to fit all the songs in, but we’ve got a great mix of the most popular and some slow elements in there to give some reprieve from the bangers; and nothing beats coming home to a Brisbane crowd.”

Sheppard recently made headlines when the band shared a post highlighting the often brutal reality of life on the road for travelling musicians, selling only 59 tickets to their show in Warsaw, Poland.

“We posted about it because there are a lot of bands and musicians who follow us and it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, but if you put your heart and soul into it, it’s still worth it,” Amy says.

“Not every show can be a sell-out, and on social media, a lot of bands put their best foot forward, and I think it’s easy to compare yourself to that. So, putting the good, the bad and the ugly is important too.”

However, as Amy says, it’s a roller coaster ride at times and just a few nights later, Sheppard were playing to a sold-out crowd in Amsterdam. “You have to take the good with the bad and remember that there are people out there who have spent time and money and effort on coming to see you, so you have to give 100 per cent for every show because it means a whole lot to a lot of people.

“We have so much fun at the intimate shows, sometimes more than the larger shows. We just feel so grateful to be doing this, no matter how many people show up. We’re on the other side of the world, we haven’t been here for ten years, so to have anyone show up is a miracle,” she laughs.

No matter how far or how wide Sheppard roam, they are still the band known for their irrepressible 2014 mega-hit ‘Geronimo’, which has been remixed in 2025 with a club vibe by Martin Jensen.

“I feel ‘Geronimo’ is the song that never dies,” Amy laughs. “We’re still pinching ourselves that we wrote a song like that. The 2025 version is definitely the modern spin on it, a fresh take, and I look forward to seeing everybody enjoying it. It’s definitely more of a club mix.

“It’s a song that no matter how many times you mix it or swap it around, people just love it. It’s always fun to give it a new life and see how long the song can take us in this career. It’s 11 years now and we’re still touring off the back of ‘Geronimo’.”

Sheppard performs at Logan Entertainment Centre (Brisbane) 31 May.
