Australian-born singer-songwriter Thomas Headon epitomises what it means to be a rising artist in its most natural form. The 20-year-old from Melbourne has one of the most loyal, loving and dedicated fan bases for a relatively small artist that I have ever seen and this is even more of a reason to keep your eyes on him as his time in the spotlight is due to come very, very soon. The indie-pop genius released his Ep, ‘The Greatest Hits’ in 2020 which feature fan favourites such as “Clean me up”, “Grace” and “Butterflies”. We were lucky enough to catch Thomas Headon as he played a special show in Manchester at the O2 Ritz, support for the night came from fellow rising star Dylan. 

The Manchester venue was already full of love and positive vibes way before Thomas Headon took to the stage, the young star was showered with love from the audience as soon as he began and it was a very poetic entrance as he started with “Loving you” and even took the time to sit down in front of the lucky fans at barrier to serenade them. As this phenomenal night continued Thomas would go on to perform several more fan favourites such as, “Car window” and his most recently released song “Nobody has to know” before ending with an encore of “UrbanAngel199”. It truly was a special night and it’s as clear as day that this boy loves performing and his community of fans are going to take him very far, the youngster has a very bright future ahead of him and I highly recommend joining him for the ride.
