The English pop hitmaker is touring in support of her fifteenth studio album, Closer, released in early 2025. The follow-up to 2018’s Here Come The Aliens, Closer saw Wilde primarily write and perform alongside her niece, Scarlett.

Wilde’s upcoming tour begins at Perth’s Astor Theatre on Wednesday, 18 November. It continues in Brisbane, Melbourne, Geelong, Adelaide, Newcastle, Sydney, and Canberra, concluding at the Canberra theatre on Sunday, 29 November. You can find the tour dates and venues below.

Pre-sale tickets will be available on Wednesday, 25 February, at 10 am AEDT, followed by the general sale on Thursday, 26 February, at 10 am AEDT. You can find more ticketing information on the David Roy Williams and Metropolis Touring websites.

Known for #1 hits such as Kids In America, her cover of The Supremes’ You Keep Me Hangin’ On, and If I Can’t Have You, plus Top 40 classics including Cambodia, You Came, View From A Bridge, and Chequered Love, Wilde delivers a show packed with sing-alongs and inimitable energy.

Reviewing the star’s show at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre in 2024, The Music’s Cyclone Wehner declared that Wilde “delivers both the hits and the fun – and, as a live performer, is at her peak.”

Wehner added, “The singer saves her biggest songs for the end, generating a festive and almost feverish atmosphere. The Palais isn't conducive to dancing, yet the seated audience finally rises for the ghostly synth-pop of Cambodia—Kim demonstrating her chops with an acapella bridge.”
