Tyler Hilton & Kate Voegele, who played Chris Keller and Mia Catalano respectively on the iconic US TV program One Tree Hill, will be making their way down under in 2026 for a special run of shows across Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Belgrave, Adelaide & Perth, presented by MRG Live.
The tour follows on from a successful solo tour from Tyler Hilton in 2025, which saw the artist/actor sell out the Northcote Social Club in Melbourne and pack out rooms across the country. The ‘Celebrating The Music of One Tree Hill’ is currently underway overseas, with the duo selling out shows across the US and Canada already. The Tour marks the second time the pair have toured Australia together, with their debut visit back in 2017 – and provides a special, unmissable experience for fans of the show as they play on stage together working their way through the music from the show.
One Tree Hill was a phenomenon when it first aired in 2003 via the WB/CW. Running for a total of 9 seasons, the series has been named one of the greatest dramas of all time by the likes of Cosmopolitan, Digital Spy and Entertainment Weekly. Music played an important role throughout the show’s run, with each episode named after a particular song, artist or album that has something in common with the theme of the episode. Tyler himself appeared on all three of the soundtrack albums – with his cover of the Ryan Adams song ‘When The Stars Go Blue’; his cover of ‘Missing You’ by John Waite & his original song ‘You’ll Ask For Me’.
Tyler Hilton has had an incredible award winning career across his work on the screen and stage – From portraying Elvis Presley in Walk the Line (2005) & his work on One Tree Hill, to writing and touring with the likes of Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum and Joe Cocker.
Born and raised in California, Tyler grew up in a family of talented musicians who had played for acts like Fleetwood Mac, George Harrison and Donovan. Performing with his family from an early age, Hilton became serious about songwriting at 14. At 15, he called into L.A.’s KLOS radio station to win concert tickets and ended up wowing the hosts with an on-air performance. The station made him a regular guest and helped launch his debut record, which caught the ear of Warner Bros. Records, who signed him to record his second album The Tracks of Tyler Hilton, earning him two Top 40 singles. Most recently, Hilton released his EP ‘No Man’s Land’ in 2024, and worked on the score for the 2024 film ‘My Old Ass’ starring Aubrey Plaza & Maisy Stella, writing and performing on each track for the film.
“I’m so excited to be headed back to Australia on the “Celebrating the Music of One Tree Hill” Tour. This is truly my favorite place to tour in the entire world. Getting to come back solo earlier this year in February 2025 was such a beautiful reminder of how much I love and missed this place after spending several years away and also how much of a blast it was last time Kate and I got to come back over to OZ together. We’ve added double the amount of shows this time — plus a New Zealand play which is a first for both of us.”

PRAISE
“(..) last Friday night proved the show’s beloved characters continue to live on in the hearts of Brisbane fans. The small, intimate interior of the New Globe Theatre was flooded with buzzing punters, more than ready for the talented offerings of Tyler Hilton and Kate Voegele, who played Chris Keller and Mia Catalano respectively on the hit series.”
AAA BACKSTAGE
“All in all, Tyler Hilton and Kate Voegele’s show was simply amazing. The stripped-back nature of the show made for a wonderful night. These artists are incredibly talented and put their soul into their performances and were absolutely lovely and down to earth after the show, sticking around to meet every punter and have a chat.”
SCENESTR
“Tyler is as charismatic as they come and you can’t help but notice the endless smiles and joy he brings to the stage. During a break he said that ‘playing live music feeds my soul’, that the crowd is really what makes the show and you could just tell that those words rang true. He delivers such a great performance, his incredible talent for singing and songwriting, coupled with his storytelling and authentic interaction with the crowd made for such an unforgettable evening.”
