21 Savage has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no headline tour, no festival booking and no ticket sale anywhere in the region for the Atlanta rapper, and his most recent album, What Happened to the Streets?, released on 12 December 2025, has not been followed by an Australian or New Zealand tour.
His history down under is short but memorable. For most of his career he could not travel outside the United States, because his immigration case was unresolved until 2023. When he finally reached this side of the world, in late September and early October 2024, it was as a headliner of Listen Out in Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Sydney and of its sister event Listen In in Adelaide and Auckland: six shows in ten days on the American Dream Tour.
This page sets out plainly what is and is not known about 21 Savage's plans for 2027, then tells the full story of those six concerts, the songs he played, how his records have performed on the Australian and New Zealand charts, and what a return visit could look like if one is ever announced.
There is no official 21 Savage tour of Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No dates, cities, venues, presales or on-sale times have been published, and no festival in either country has named him on a 2027 line-up so far. Nothing announced elsewhere for 2027 includes an Australian or New Zealand leg either.
What Happened to the Streets?, his fourth studio album, came out in December 2025 with guests including Young Nudy, Latto, GloRilla, Drake, G Herbo, Metro Boomin and Lil Baby, but no international tour has been attached to it. His personal life also changed in 2026: in March, Latto announced that the couple were expecting a child, and their daughter was born in late May 2026. Neither event came with any public touring plan for 2027.
His only visit so far gives some clues about how a return might be built. In 2024 he did not play his own arena shows here; he came as the main draw of a touring festival, which allowed promoters to put him in front of large open-air crowds in six cities in a single fortnight. A future visit could follow the same festival model or switch to headline arena dates, but neither has been announced, and any list of 21 Savage 2027 dates circulating today is not official.
If 21 Savage does confirm concerts in Australia or New Zealand, this page will be updated with the cities, venues and sale dates. Sign up below for the alert and you will be told as soon as anything is official.
21 Savage's first and so far only concerts in Australia and New Zealand took place between Friday 27 September and Sunday 6 October 2024. They came near the end of the American Dream Tour, which had opened in Vancouver on 1 May 2024 and ran to 23 November 2024 in Abu Dhabi, supporting his third album, American Dream, which had topped both the Australian and New Zealand album charts.
The run began in Melbourne on Friday 27 September 2024 at Caribbean Gardens, the Victorian site of Listen Out that year. The next night, Saturday 28 September, he headlined Listen Out in Perth at HBF Arena in Joondalup, the sports complex in the city's northern suburbs that has hosted the Western Australian edition of the festival since 2016. On Sunday 29 September he was in Adelaide at Ellis Park, in the city's parklands, for Listen In, the smaller spin-off that takes a handful of the main line-up to South Australia and New Zealand.
After a short break he crossed the Tasman for Auckland on Friday 4 October 2024. The setlist archive lists the venue as Go Media Stadium, the naming-rights title used at the time for Mount Smart Stadium in Penrose, the name given in the tour's Wikipedia article; both refer to the same ground. It was his first concert in New Zealand and the only New Zealand show of his career so far.
He flew straight back to Australia for the final weekend. On Saturday 5 October 2024 he played the Brisbane Showgrounds, the Queensland home of Listen Out since 2019, and the setlist archive has his full set from that night: seventeen songs opening with 'american dream' and 'No Heart' and closing with 'redrum'. The visit ended on Sunday 6 October 2024 in Sydney at Centennial Park, where Listen Out has been held on the Brazilian Fields since the festival began in 2013.
Six shows in four Australian states and one New Zealand city is a solid first visit for an artist who had never left North America to tour before 2023. It also means that Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney and Auckland have each seen him exactly once, all within ten days, and that no Australian or New Zealand fan has yet seen a full-length 21 Savage headline show in an arena of his own.
The table below lists 6 documented Australia/NZ concerts by 21 Savage between 2024 and 2024, with the most shows in Sydney (1), Brisbane (1), Auckland (1), Adelaide (1), Perth (1), Melbourne (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

|---|---|---|---|
| 6 October 2024 | Sydney | Centennial Park | American Dream Tour |
| 5 October 2024 | Brisbane | Brisbane Showgrounds | American Dream Tour |
| 4 October 2024 | Auckland | Mount Smart Stadium | American Dream Tour |
| 29 September 2024 | Adelaide | Ellis Park | American Dream Tour |
| 28 September 2024 | Perth | HBF Arena | American Dream Tour |
| 27 September 2024 | Melbourne | Caribbean Gardens | American Dream Tour |
All six of 21 Savage's concerts in Australia and New Zealand were festival headline slots. In Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Sydney he topped the 2024 bill of Listen Out, the hip-hop and dance festival run by Fuzzy Operations since 2013, alongside a line-up that also included Skepta, Tyla and Lil Uzi Vert. Metro Boomin, his long-time collaborator, was originally on the bill but was replaced by the Sydney drill group Onefour.
In Adelaide and Auckland he played Listen In, the version of the festival created in 2018 to take a smaller selection of the Listen Out acts to South Australia and New Zealand. Ellis Park and Mount Smart Stadium (then billed as Go Media Stadium) gave those two cities the same headliner as the larger events, on the weekend either side of the main festival dates.
Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph was born on 22 October 1992 at Newham University Hospital in Plaistow, east London, to British parents of Caribbean descent, and moved with his mother to Atlanta at the age of seven. He began recording in 2013 and released three independent mixtapes before his breakthrough EP with the producer Metro Boomin, Savage Mode (2016), which contained 'X' with Future and 'No Heart'. Later that year he was a guest on Drake's single 'Sneakin''.
He signed with Epic Records in January 2017. His debut album, Issa Album (2017), reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and produced 'Bank Account'. The same year he released Without Warning with Metro Boomin and Offset and featured on Post Malone's 'Rockstar', which went to No. 1 in the United States, Australia and New Zealand and earned two Grammy nominations. I Am > I Was (2018) was his first US No. 1 album and included 'A Lot' with J. Cole, winner of the Grammy for Best Rap Song.
Savage Mode II (2020), with 'Runnin' and 'Mr. Right Now', reached No. 4 in Australia, and Her Loss (2022), his album with Drake, reached No. 2 in both Australia and New Zealand on the back of 'Rich Flex'. Drake's 'Jimmy Cooks', featuring 21 Savage, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Metro Boomin's 'Creepin'', with The Weeknd and 21 Savage, was a top-ten hit in Australia.
American Dream (2024) became his fourth consecutive chart-topping project in the United States and his first No. 1 album in Australia and New Zealand, with the singles 'Redrum' and 'Née-Nah'. In February 2019 he had been detained by US immigration officers, who said he was a British citizen who had overstayed a visa that expired in 2006; he was released on bond and in 2023 became a lawful permanent resident, which finally allowed him to tour internationally. What Happened to the Streets? followed on 12 December 2025.
| Album | Year | AUS chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| Issa Album | 2017 | AUS 42 |
| Without Warning (with Offset and Metro Boomin) | 2017 | AUS 39 |
| I Am > I Was | 2018 | AUS 30 |
| Savage Mode II (with Metro Boomin) | 2020 | AUS 4 |
| Her Loss (with Drake) | 2022 | AUS 2 |
| American Dream | 2024 | AUS 1 |
| What Happened to the Streets? | 2025 | AUS 23 |
For years Australian and New Zealand fans assumed 21 Savage simply did not want to tour abroad. The real reason became public on 3 February 2019, when US Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested him and revealed that he was a British national whose H-4 visa had expired in 2006. He was released on bond nine days later, but his case stayed open, and leaving the United States would have put his status at risk.
That changed in 2023, when he received his green card. His first concerts outside North America followed within months, in Europe in November 2023, and the Australian and New Zealand festival run came less than a year later. For many fans here, the 2024 shows were the first chance to see an artist whose records had been in the local charts since 'Rockstar' in 2017.
Listen Out was a natural fit for a first visit. The festival has built its line-ups around international hip-hop headliners since 2015, and its four-city model, with Listen In adding Adelaide and Auckland, let promoters move one headliner around the region in consecutive weekends: Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide on the first weekend, then Auckland, Brisbane and Sydney on the second.
The format had trade-offs. Festival sets are shorter than headline shows, and the crowds at Caribbean Gardens, HBF Arena, Ellis Park, Mount Smart Stadium, the Brisbane Showgrounds and Centennial Park were there for a full day of music. A future visit could keep that model or move to arena dates of his own, but no booking of either kind has been announced for 2027.
New Zealand has been one of 21 Savage's strongest markets in the region. American Dream went to No. 1 there as well as in Australia, Her Loss reached No. 2, and 'Rockstar' topped the New Zealand singles chart in 2017. Yet the country has seen him only once, at Listen In on Friday 4 October 2024.
The venue, Mount Smart Stadium in Penrose, was carrying the Go Media Stadium naming-rights title at the time, which is why the setlist archive and the tour's Wikipedia article use different names for the same night. No New Zealand date has been announced for 2027.
Much of what Australian crowds sang back to him in 2024 came from collaborations. 'Jimmy Cooks', 'Rich Flex' and 'Knife Talk' are Drake songs or songs from Her Loss; 'X', 'No Heart' and 'Glock in My Lap' come from his work with Metro Boomin; 'rockstar' is a Post Malone single and 'Creepin'' a Metro Boomin track with The Weeknd. All of those appear in his Brisbane set of 5 October 2024.
Those songs were also some of his biggest Australian hits: 'Rockstar' reached No. 1, 'Rich Flex' No. 3, 'Jimmy Cooks' No. 4 and 'Creepin'' No. 8 on the Australian chart. On stage he performed them without the guest artists.
The only full set list from his Australian and New Zealand run is from the Brisbane Showgrounds on Saturday 5 October 2024. He played seventeen songs: 'american dream', 'No Heart', 'On BS', 'Jimmy Cooks', 'Don't Come Out the House', 'Peaches & Eggplants', 'TOPIA TWINS', 'Red Opps', 'X', 'Bank Account', 'Glock in My Lap', 'rockstar', 'Creepin'', 'a lot', 'Rich Flex', 'Knife Talk' and 'redrum'.
That is a typical festival-length show, built almost entirely on singles and collaborations, with three songs from American Dream ('american dream', 'Red Opps' and 'redrum') and the rest drawn from Savage Mode, Issa Album, I Am > I Was, Her Loss and his features. His European arena shows of November 2023 ran to about thirty songs, which gives an idea of how much longer a headline concert can be.
Any future visit would be expected to add material from What Happened to the Streets?, which had not been released at the time of the 2024 shows. Set lists change from night to night, so treat this one as a guide rather than a promise.
