Indie singer-songwriter and viral TikTok sensation Petey has announced an Australian tour, to go down in February 2024. Petey first came to fame for his bizarre, absurdist TikTok videos. Following in the tradition of anti-comedy heroes like Tim and Eric and Andy Kaufman, Petey’s videos featured the man playing multiple roles, speaking in a lilting, sing-song voice, and delivering rolling punchlines that rambled as much as they hit. They’re good stuff, basically.
But while Petey might be best known for these skits – he has over three million followers on TikTok – he’s also a surprisingly sincere, earnest singer-songwriter. His songs, chief among them ‘Family of Six’, released only a month ago, combine passionate vocals with rising and falling electro sonics.

Petey has released three albums in quick succession. He dropped the first two – Lean Into Life and Other Stuff – in 2021. His newest, the 12-song record USA, dropped this year. Petey’s forthcoming Australian tour will be his first time in this country. He’s playing pub and theatre venues in Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Sydney. Details below.
