Will Chappell Roan Tour Australia In 2026?

Could Chappell Roan be heading to Australia in 2026?

Fans have been waiting a long time for the Pink Pony Club singer to make her return Down Under. The American singer-songwriter made her Australian debut in November 2023, performing at Brisbane’s MELT Festival and headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney on her Midwest Princess Tour.

It doesn’t need to be said that, since then, Chappell Roan has become one of the biggest names in pop, with hits like Pink Pony Club and Good Luck, Babe! catapulting her to household name status and earning the Best New Artist award at the 67th Grammy Awards, which took place in February. She also took out the triple j Hottest 100 of 2024 with Good Luck, Babe!

Rumours about Roan touring Australia and New Zealand have followed her since last September.

On the red carpet of last year’s MTV Video Music Awards, the singer hinted at her plans to tour Australia.

“I know Australia loves me! I love Australia!” she said. When asked if there were any plans for another tour down under in the diary, she responded, “I’m gonna come! I’m coming! We’re planning!”

Chappell Roan was one of the most talked-about names for a potential headliner at this year’s Laneway Festival, which ended up being Charli XCX. However, the speculation stemmed from an interview where Roan said she’d play in New Zealand in February of this year.

That didn’t end up happening. But, in a new interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Australian Chappell Roan fans are experiencing déjà vu from conversations about the singer’s touring plans for 2026.

In the clip shared on social media, Roan teased that she has tour plans booked for February and March 2026.

Could she finally be making her way back to Australia and New Zealand? Will her eventual visit end up being a tour or festival headliner?

You can watch the interview below.

Earlier this month, Chappell Roan dropped her new single The Subway, the follow-up to The Giver, which was released in March.

The Giver saw Roan emulate the early work of Faith Hill and Carrie Underwood. A backing band plays violin, guitar, and drums as her vocals soar. The melody and sound are undoubtedly country, but with something different: Roan effortlessly puts a cheeky spin on country music.

Roan also shared that country music has a special place in her heart. While she doesn’t plan to steal the spotlight from the “classic country divas,” she explained that she’s here to “twirl and do a little gay yodel” for her fans.
