Dave Announces 2026 Australian Arena Tour

British rapper Dave is returning to Australia in 2026, and he’s locked in massive arena shows across the country.

The tour marks Dave’s first headline tour since the release of his last album, We’re All In This Together, in 2021, and his first shows Down Under since 2019.

Presented by Live Nation, Secret Sounds and triple j, the tour begins at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Thursday, 18 June. It continues at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Saturday, 20 June, Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday, 23 June, and concludes at Perth’s RAC Arena on Saturday, 27 June.

Fans can access pre-sale tickets from 9 am local time today, thanks to Vodafone and Mastercard. Head to their respective websites for more information. The Live Nation and Secret Sounds pre-sales are available on Thursday, 11 December, at 10 am local time, followed by the general sale on Friday, 12 December, at 10 am local time.

Head to the Live Nation Australia and Secret Sounds websites for more ticketing information.

Recognised for his razor-sharp songwriting and socially conscious lyrics, plus a genre-defying approach to rap music, Dave is the first British rap artist to have three albums debut at #1 on the UK Albums Chart and have three in the Top 40.

With his 2019 album Psychodrama, Dave took home the 2020 Mercury Prize and Album of the Year at the BRIT Awards. Following the album, he had his acting debut, and in 2023, his single Sprinter with Central Cee was his third and longest-running #1 song in the UK. It also debuted at #1 in Australia, where it remained for seven weeks.

Earlier this year, Dave released his new album The Boy Who Played The Harp, which marked his first new project since 2023. His latest single, Raindance, featuring Tems, follows the pattern of previous singles Sprinter, Location, and Clash, and is on its way to achieving Platinum status in Australia.
