“THE AUSTRALIAN COWBOY” WADE FORSTER SHARES NEW SONG “LOVE CRIMES”

Breakthrough singer, songwriter and rodeo cowboy Wade Forster—aka “The Australian Cowboy”—shares his new song, “Love Crimes.”

“Love Crimes” is the latest unveiled from Forster’s highly anticipated third album, The Aftermath, out this Friday, August 14 via Community Music—pre-save/pre-order HERE. Built on the tension between the chaos of his 2025 sophomore record, Gooseneck Party, and the clarity of the drive home, The Aftermath picks up exactly where Gooseneck Party left off. The fire’s out, the dust has settled, and Forster is left navigating the aftermath of the night before. “The Aftermath is the perfect album for the Sunday scaries,” shares Forster. “After a big night on the town or even a Gooseneck Party.”

Later this summer, Forster will bring his “The Aftermath Tour” to North America with upcoming stops at Phoenix’s Crescent Ballroom, Salt Lake City’s Commonwealth Room, Denver’s Bluebird Theater, Chicago’s Carol’s Pub and Dallas’ The Kessler, among others. Shows in Flagstaff and Des Moines have already sold out, with an additional performance in New Braunfels added due to overwhelming demand.

The tour arrives amid the biggest release of Forster’s career to date. His latest single, “Anytime, Anywhere, Antoinette,” has taken off across the United States, amassing more than 5 million DSP streams in just five weeks while generating over 146 million views across TikTok, making it the most successful release of his career so far.

With more than 100 million global streams, Forster has quickly emerged as one of Australia’s most exciting new voices. Born and raised on a cattle station in the Queensland outback and a professional rodeo cowboy, he first taught himself guitar in 2017 after buying a $50 instrument off Facebook Marketplace. Forster went on to win the Toyota Star Maker award in 2024 before earning Golden Guitar Awards for Male Artist of the Year and New Talent of the Year in 2026.

An electric live performer, Forster sold out his debut Australian headline tour, played storied venues including Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and Tulsa’s legendary Cain’s Ballroom, shared stages with Cody Johnson, Treaty Oak Revival, Flatland Cavalry, The Lowdown Drifters, and Shane Smith & The Saints. Forster first toured the United States as a headline artist in September 2025, selling out 15 shows across his “Last Of A Dying Breed Tour.” Earlier this year, he returned for the “It’s Time For Texas Tour,” delivering standout performances at Two Step Inn, Chilifest and Larry Joe Taylor Festival, while also selling out headline dates across Texas.
