Tyler, The Creator has made waves after a recent show in Sydney, where he described Australia as “the whitest place on Earth.”
The show took place at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Tuesday (26 August), with footage from the night shared on Instagram by triple j and Complex AU.
Addressing the sold-out arena, the rapper said, “Shout out to all the black folks in the crowd,” to cheers, with Tyler pointing to someone in the crowd. He continued walking across the stage and cheekily added, “Australia is the whitest place on Earth.”

While the rapper is touring in support of his 2024 album CHROMAKOPIA, his Australian shows are occurring just weeks after the release of yet another full-length, DON’T TAP THE GLASS, which was surprise-released a month ago. The set is primarily catered to both albums, with a stronger emphasis on the former. You can check out the rapper’s Australian tour setlist here.
Reviewing night one of Tyler, The Creator’s four shows at Rod Laver Arena, The Music’s Claire Dunton declared:
Tyler explodes onto the stage with high energy, accompanied by pyrotechnics that occur all around the stage, leaving us with the smell of gunpowder that permeates the arena and 14,000 fans ready for what comes next.
