In a career-defining moment that's set to catapult her into the national spotlight, Townsville's own Josie has been announced as the opening act for American superstar Jelly Roll's highly anticipated Australian stadium show.
The rising country music sensation will warm up the crowd at Brisbane's Entertainment Centre on October 9, marking Jelly Roll's only Australian performance for 2024. This exclusive show promises to be one of the most talked-about music events of the year.
From Local Pubs to Stadium Stages
Josie's journey to sharing the stage with an international heavyweight like Jelly Roll reads like something from a movie script. The North Queensland native has been steadily building her reputation through powerhouse live performances across local venues, developing a loyal following with her authentic country sound and compelling stage presence.
'This is absolutely mind-blowing,' Josie told local media. 'I've been working toward moments like this my entire career, but to actually be chosen to open for an artist of Jelly Roll's caliber in a stadium show is beyond anything I imagined.'
Why This Concert Matters for Australian Music Fans
Jelly Roll's decision to make Brisbane his sole Australian destination has created enormous buzz in the music community. The Grammy-nominated artist, known for his raw, emotional performances that blend country, rock, and hip-hop influences, has seen his popularity skyrocket internationally.
The concert announcement has already generated significant excitement, with fans expected to travel from across Australia and New Zealand to attend the exclusive event.
A Watershed Moment for North Queensland Talent
Josie's selection as opening act represents more than just a personal triumph—it's a significant moment for the entire North Queensland music scene. Her presence on such a prominent platform demonstrates the caliber of talent emerging from regional Australia.
'This shows that you don't have to be from Sydney or Melbourne to make it big in the Australian music industry,' Josie emphasized. 'I'm proud to represent Townsville and show what North Queensland artists can achieve.'
With tickets expected to sell quickly for this once-in-a-lifetime concert experience, all eyes will be on Josie as she prepares for the biggest performance of her career this October.
