Fresh from capturing the hearts of Australia on Australian Idol 2026, Kesha Nevé and Kalani Artis (#3) are hitting the road together for an unforgettable tour SIDE BY SIDE.

Combining two of the season’s most authentic and compelling voices, this special live show brings together the soaring country-pop storytelling of Australian Idol winner Kesha Nevé and the soulful, heartfelt indie-folk sound of fan favourite Kalani Artis.

The show will see songs performed from their Idol journey such as Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Cindy Lauper) The Climb (Miley Cyrus), When We Were Young (Adele) and Man I Need (Olivia Dean) by Kesha and Pink Pony Club (Chappell Roan), Take My Breath Away (Berlin), Don’t Dream It’s Over (Crowded House) and Torn (Natalie Imbruglia), the latter which has amassed an incredible 1.1M YouTube views and 780k Insta likes by Kalani.

For the first time, performing live with a full band, Kesha and Kalani will perform their brand-new original singles ‘Better This Way’ (Kesha released 26 June) and ‘Winter Never Ends’ (Kalani released 3 July 2026).

Hailing from the Snowy Mountains of NSW, Kesha Nevé has quickly become one of Australia’s most exciting new artists. Known for her powerful raspy vocals, emotional performances and natural connection with audiences, she won over the nation on her journey to becoming the 2026 Australian Idol champion. From standout renditions to her own original music inspired by life, love and adventure, Kesha brings warmth, authenticity and star power to every stage she steps onto. When Kesha is on stage or writing a new song, you can find her on the ski fields, surfing the south coast or lapping up time with friends and family.

As a double-headed show, joining her, is Central Coast singer-songwriter Kalani, whose unique interpretations and deeply personal performances made him one of the breakout stars of the season. With inspiration coming from James Bay, Lewis Capaldi, Jack Johnson and Matt Corby, Kalani blends soulful vocals, acoustic-drive melodies and emotionally resonant storytelling into a captivating live experience. His journey is of resilience and transformation and with online shout-outs from the likes of Natalie Imbruglia, surfing legend Kelly Slater and Tones and I, you know he’s onto something special. When Kalani’s not doing music, you can find him catching a wave.

Together, Kesha and Kalani deliver an evening full of powerful vocals, crowd-favourite Idol performances, new original songs, acoustic moments and the genuine chemistry they have together that made viewers fall in love with them. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or discovering them for the first time, this tour promises both an intimate and uplifting celebration of two of Australia’s most promising new Artists, showcasing the beginning of their exciting careers.
