“Favour” unites the Aussie pair for the first time. On paper, it’s a head scratcher. Pumping from your speakers, it totally works.
Tones (real name: Toni Watson) is the former busker from Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula who enjoyed a global smash, and a life-changing moment, with “Dance Monkey,” a song that led more than 30 national charts. In Australia, it ruled the ARIA Chart for 24 non-consecutive weeks, an all-time record, and it led the Official U.K. Singles Chart for 11 weeks, a record for a solo female artist. Tones has gone on to drop two ARIA No. 1 albums and played some of the biggest stages anywhere. Tones’ total streams top 12 billion.
FISHER’s solo catalogue spans 25 releases, including his breakout hit “Losing It,” which was nominated for best dance recording at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards (2019), with total global streams across all his works topping five billion. He boasts eight ARIA platinum-certified singles, with his 2025 tune “Stay” on track to become his fastest platinum, according to reps, just ahead of his Out 2 Lunch festival next month, which expands with dates in four cities: Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and its original destination, the Gold Coast.
“Favour” got its first airing when FISHER teased the track last December during his historic headline shows at San Francisco’s Moscone Center, the first of its kind at the venue. Across two nights, 40,000 fans packed the space — including Golden State Warriors star forward Jimmy Butler — setting the mark for the largest solo headline dance event in the city’s history.
FISHER (real name: Paul Fisher) has sold more than 200,000 tickets in Australia and counting, and with the national expansion of Out 2 Lunch is targeting a further 100,000.
