SHEPPARD will return to the U.S. to kick off a series of dates beginning July 22nd in NY at Webster Hall.

The smash single is approaching 140 million Spotify streams worldwide.
An international smash, "Geronimo" recently impacted American Top 40 radio, making SHEPPARD the "third Australian group to impact Top 40 in the 21st century" alongside 5 Seconds of Summer and Jet!
