Global phenomenon Tones And I will makes her debut at Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight this year, coming live from the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Originally from the Mornington Peninsula, Tones And I has become one of the most exciting names in music since busking in Byron Bay and quitting her day job in retail.
Following the enormous success of her breakout hit Dance Monkey, which has accrued the gargantuan total of 7 BILLION streams worldwide, plus 1.7 billion views on YouTube, and has gone platinum 16 times, Tones And I’s debut album Welcome to the Madhouse topped the ARIA charts, featuring two more hit singles: Fly Away and Cloudy Day.
Tones And I won four ARIA awards in 2020 and has headlined top venues and festivals, as well as appearing on popular American TV programs including Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show, The Voice, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Back for their second year together, David Campbell and Ally Langdon will host Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight live from the Sidney Myer Music Bowl this Christmas Eve.
David and Ally return to the hosting role after last years event was presented by Livinia Nixon and Eddie McGuire due to COVID travel restrictions.
Ally Langdon said:
“I can’t wait to be back hosting Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight this year. I love Christmas! It’s such a special time of the year, especially when you have small kids. I couldn’t be happier to be part of Australia’s much-loved Christmas Eve tradition and to help raise money for children and their families who are blind or have low vision,”
David and Ally will be joined again by Channel 9’s Carols family stalwarts including David Hobson, Marina Prior, Silvie Paladino, Anthony Callea, Tim Campbell, and Denis Walter, with more exciting performers to be announced in the lead-up to the event.
2021 marks the 84th year of Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight, and with full crowd capacity now allowed, the nation’s favourite Christmas Eve tradition will celebrate a long-awaited return to its full grandeur.
Carols by Candlelight is Vision Australia’s biggest annual fundraiser for children’s services, with 100 per cent of profits from ticket sales going directly towards supporting over 2300 families whose children blind or have low vision.
