A$AP Rocky will return to Australia and New Zealand for a five-date arena tour in December 2026, his first visit to the region in eight years. The shows are the local leg of his Don’t Be Dumb World Tour.

Tour dates

  • December 5, 2026: Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne
  • December 9, 2026: Afterpay Arena, Sydney
  • December 12, 2026: Spark Arena, Auckland
  • December 14, 2026: Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Brisbane
  • December 17, 2026: RAC Arena, Perth

Tickets go on general sale Friday, October 16, 2026, at 1 p.m. local time, following artist, Vodafone, Mastercard, Live Nation and Westfield presales earlier in the week.

The dates follow a sold-out 25-date run across the U.K. and Europe. According to promoter Live Nation, the European leg broke several regional records, including the fastest-selling rap show in Greece and the biggest arena sales for a rap artist in Zagreb, Belgrade and Sofia.

The tour supports Don’t Be Dumb, the rapper’s long-awaited follow-up to Testing (2018). The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Rocky’s third chart-topper and his first in more than a decade, with 123,000 equivalent album units in its opening week. It also topped Australia’s ARIA Hip-Hop/R&B Albums chart. Its lead single, Punk Rocky, reached No. 9 on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. The album features Tyler, the Creator, Doechii, Gorillaz, Brent Faiyaz, Thundercat and will.i.am, and its cover artwork was created by filmmaker Tim Burton.

Rocky broke through with the 2011 mixtape Live.Love.A$AP and has since topped the Billboard 200 with At.Long.Last.A$AP (2015) and Testing. He co-chaired the 2025 Met Gala and has appeared in the A24 productions Highest 2 Lowest and If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.
