Electronic Press Kit

Far from just another country artist, Josh is a powerhouse entertainer, redefining the genre with every song and show. Quickly becoming a standout figure with his relentless work ethic; he could be described as the “Motley Crue of country music”, bulldozing through boundaries to create a path entirely his own.

Josh is known for his high-energy performances captivating audiences across the globe. Following the success of his Kinda World Tour—which spanned Australia, the USA, UK, and Canada–Josh is not afraid to break the mold and is a rising force in the international country arena. With a stage presence that is magnetic and depicts a true showman, this hard work landed Josh his main stage debut at Australia’s prestigious CMC Rocks this year.

The latest EP RISE debuted at #2 on the ARIA Country Album Charts, where it remained for an impressive 22 weeks. The EP delivered multiple #1 hits on CMT Australia and featured on CMT USA, accumulating over 8 million streams. He has topped the iTunes charts, reached #3 on the AIR Independent Album charts, and earned global radio play, playlist placements on Spotify and Apple Music. 

Josh’s headlining tours—both in Australia and internationally—are being met with sold-out shows and strong reviews. Scenestr hailed his Brisbane show as “a stadium-level spectacle,” while Vicki & Mike from Kaff Country in the USA praised him as “one of the most amazing entertainers”. His energy, authenticity, and dedication have made him an unforgettable act, leaving fans eager for the next show.

Josh has shared the spotlight with country heavyweights like Drew Baldridge (USA), Love & Theft (USA), Cory Marks (CAN), Casey Barnes (AU) and Shannon Noll (AU). With major festival performances including Gympie Music Muster, Groundwater Country Music Festival and international stages such as Canada’s Cavendish Beach Music Festival, Josh is solidifying his place as one of the hardest working and most exciting entertainers in country music today. 

Josh Setterfield’s journey is far from over, and if there are boundaries left in country music, he’ll continue to push them with the same force that has driven him to where he is today. Unapologetically himself and wildly determined, Josh is raising the bar in country music—and he’s just getting started.
