What: Reece Mastin - Wolf in the Woods

When: September 18

Where: Regent Cinemas

Bookings: 5330 5555

FANS of Reece Mastin can get a taste of the Former X Factor's new album when he performs in Ballarat in September.

The singer will perform at Regent Cinemas as part of his 18-date Wolf in the Woods tour which visit venues all over Australia including Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

It is the first time Mastin has undertaken a major tour of Australia since December.

Speaking with The Courier on Tuesday, Mastin says crowds can expect a Rock and Roll extravaganza.

"This tour will be very different from my last shows as we are road testing new styles and songs," he says. "It's going to be an exciting, action packed and fun show and I can't wait to get to Ballarat again. The reactions of the guys in the crowd will ultimately determine what goes on my next album."

After winning X Factor Australia in 2011, Mastin's debut album went double platinum and hit number one, while three of his consecutive singles including Good Night and Shout it Out climbing their way up to the top of the ARIA charts.

"When I'm on stage it doesn't feel like I'm performing, it feels like I am part of the crowd," he says. "The coolest part is seeing the reactions of everybody in the crowd and watching them laugh, cry or scream, its unreal."

His new album is expected to be released by the start of next year.

Mastin will be supported by New York-based trio the Kin, who have just finished supporting P!nk.

The Wolf in the Woods tour will kick off in Perth on September 12.
