Baker Boy Australia Tour 2027

Baker Boy has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no national tour, festival booking or New Zealand show for next year on the public record. The Yolŋu rapper's most recent headline run was the DJANDJAY Tour, which followed the release of his second album, Djandjay, and played across the country between February and May 2026.

That tour took in two of the country's major arts festivals, Perth Festival on Saturday 21 February 2026 and WOMADelaide on Sunday 8 March, before a run of club and theatre dates from Newcastle and Sydney to Darwin and Alice Springs. Since then the setlist archive lists a short set at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on 15 August 2026 and a show on Warner Street in Brisbane on Saturday 3 October 2026, but no new tour.

This page sets out what is and is not known for 2027 and gives a full account of Baker Boy's concerts in Australia and New Zealand: the festival stages that made his name, the big-event appearances, the DJANDJAY dates and the songs he plays most often.

Baker Boy Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about a Baker Boy tour in 2027. The DJANDJAY Tour, as recorded in the setlist archive, began at the East Perth Power Station for Perth Festival and at Botanic Park for WOMADelaide, then moved to the King Street Hotel in Newcastle on Thursday 9 April 2026, Liberty Hall in Sydney on Friday 10 April, the Triffid in Brisbane, the Coolangatta Hotel, the Barwon Heads Hotel, the Northcote Theatre in Melbourne, Mayberry in Darwin, Alice Springs Brewing Co, Dee Why RSL in Sydney and Oakes Oval in Lismore on Saturday 9 May 2026.

No New Zealand dates were part of that tour. His only New Zealand show in the archive is at Albert Park in Auckland on 28 January 2019.

Baker Boy tends to follow a release with a national run and to spend much of the rest of the year on festival bills, so further appearances in 2027 are possible, but nothing has been confirmed. Until it is, treat any list of 2027 dates or any 'presale code' offered online with suspicion, and register for the alert on this page.

Before the Baker Boy Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

Baker Boy came to national attention in 2017, when he won the Triple J Unearthed National Indigenous Music Awards competition. According to Wikipedia, in 2018 he performed with acts including Yothu Yindi and Dizzee Rascal, and in January 2018 he opened for 50 Cent with A.B. Original. Later that year he made his first appearance outside Australia, at the Riddu Riđđu festival in Norway.

The setlist archive's Australian and New Zealand record starts in 2019. After Albert Park in Auckland in January, he played the Cambridge Hotel in Newcastle and the Oxford Art Factory in Sydney in April 2019, three days at the Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm near Byron Bay over Easter, the Melbourne Cricket Ground in May, Victoria Park in Melbourne in June, Taronga Zoo in Sydney on Saturday 13 July 2019, HOTA on the Gold Coast in August and Stuart Park in Wollongong in October. On 17 October 2019 he headlined the opening night of the Tarnanthi festival of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, outside the Art Gallery of South Australia on North Terrace in Adelaide.

The 2019-20 summer took him across the festival circuit: Howler in Melbourne on 30 December, Marion Bay on New Year's Eve, North Byron Parklands on 2 January 2020 and Fremantle Oval on 4 January. On Sunday 16 February 2020 he was part of Fire Fight Australia, the bushfire relief concert at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, where he played 'Meditjin', 'Cool as Hell', 'Mr La Di Da Di' and 'Marryuna'.

Big occasions have followed. On Saturday 25 September 2021 he performed in the pre-match entertainment at the AFL Grand Final at Perth Stadium, listed in the archive as Optus Stadium, and on 27 September 2025 he was part of the pre-match show at the MCG, where he also accompanied Snoop Dogg on didgeridoo. Between those dates he toured Gela through 2022, with shows at the Factory Theatre in Sydney, Crossroads in Byron Bay, the Lighthouse Theatre in Warrnambool on Friday 23 September 2022, the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney and SOUNDBOX in Melbourne.

The years 2023 to 2025 were mostly festival and event dates: Mindil Beach in Darwin, the Shepparton Showgrounds, Rymill and King Rodney Parks in Adelaide, Adelaide Oval No 2, Munro Martin Parklands in Cairns in October 2024, Woodfordia on 27 December 2024, Albert Park in Melbourne in March 2025, the Night Cat in Melbourne in October 2025 and John Cain Arena on Friday 12 December 2025.

The DJANDJAY Tour of 2026 is described above. Before it began he also played Quercus Park at Carrick in Tasmania and the Aquatic Reserve in Echuca in February 2026.

Baker Boy Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Baker Boy was born Danzal James Baker on 10 October 1996 in Darwin and grew up in the Arnhem Land communities of Milingimbi and Maningrida. He finished school in Townsville, studied at the Aboriginal Centre for the Performing Arts in Brisbane and was an original member of the Djuki Mala dance troupe. He raps in English and Yolŋu Matha and is one of the most prominent Aboriginal Australian rappers.

His first singles, 'Cloud 9' and 'Marryuna', both entered Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2017, and 'Mr La Di Da Di' followed in 2018. 'Cool as Hell', released in January 2019, was nominated in several categories at the 2019 ARIA Awards. That year he was named Young Australian of the Year and gave his acceptance speech in English and Yolŋu Matha. In 2021 he received the Medal of the Order of Australia for service to the performing arts.

His debut album, Gela, was released on 15 October 2021, with 'Cool as Hell' and 'Meditjin', and reached No. 3 on the ARIA albums chart. At the 2022 ARIA Music Awards he led the field with five wins from seven nominations. That year he also performed at the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, as part of the handover to Victoria.

In 2024 he released the single 'King', and in 2025 the punk-inspired 'Thick Skin', with a choir of Thelma Plum, Emma Donovan, Kee'ahn and Jada Weazel. His second album, Djandjay, followed in 2025 and reached No. 13. A portrait of him by Matt Adnate won the Packing Room Prize at the 2024 Archibald Prize.

Baker Boy Australia Tour 2027: from Arnhem Land to the Red Centre

Few touring acts reach the Northern Territory as often as Baker Boy. The setlist archive lists Mindil Beach in Darwin in May 2023 and, on the DJANDJAY Tour, Mayberry in Darwin on 1 May 2026 and Alice Springs Brewing Co the next night.

For a Darwin-born artist who grew up in Milingimbi and Maningrida, those dates carry weight, and any future tour is likely to be watched closely in the Top End. No 2027 Territory dates have been announced.

Baker Boy Australia Tour 2027: the big stages

Baker Boy has played some of the largest audiences any Australian rapper has faced: Fire Fight Australia at ANZ Stadium in February 2020, the 2021 AFL Grand Final at Perth Stadium and the 2025 Grand Final at the MCG, where he shared the stage with Snoop Dogg.

Those appearances are short sets, often two or three songs, but they explain why his name is familiar well beyond festival crowds. In 2026 he also appeared at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane in August.

Baker Boy Australia Tour 2027: the Sydney and Melbourne rooms

In Sydney he has moved from the Oxford Art Factory in April 2019 and Taronga Zoo in July 2019 to the Factory Theatre, the Hordern Pavilion and, on the DJANDJAY Tour, Liberty Hall on 10 April 2026, followed by Dee Why RSL on 7 May.

Melbourne has seen him at Victoria Park, Werribee Park, Howler, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in October 2021, SOUNDBOX, the Night Cat, John Cain Arena and the Northcote Theatre on 18 April 2026.

Baker Boy Australia Tour 2027: New Zealand

New Zealand has seen only one Baker Boy show in the setlist archive, at Albert Park in Auckland on Monday 28 January 2019, the Auckland Anniversary Day holiday.

No New Zealand dates were part of the DJANDJAY Tour and none have been announced for 2027.

Baker Boy Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

A Baker Boy headline show is a high-energy mix of rap, dance and live band. The fullest set in the archive, at Liberty Hall in Sydney on 10 April 2026, ran to 24 songs: it opened with 'Akatsuki Arnhem Intro', 'BIGGEST MOB' and an acknowledgement, then moved through 'FREAK OUT', 'MENACE', 'PEACEKEEPER', 'KEEP UP' and 'LIGHTNING' to older favourites such as 'Song 2', 'Mr La Di Da Di', 'Cool as Hell', 'Move' and 'Ride', with 'KING', 'THICK SKIN' and 'RUNNING LOW' later in the night.

Earlier sets built around Gela ran to 12 to 14 songs. At the Lighthouse Theatre in Warrnambool in September 2022 and at Queenscliff that November he opened with 'Meditjin', 'Ride' and 'Butterflies' and finished with 'Song 2', 'MYWD' and 'Marryuna'.

Across all his Australian and New Zealand shows in the archive, 'Marryuna' is the most played song, followed by 'Cool as Hell', 'Meditjin', 'Mr La Di Da Di' and 'Song 2'.

Baker Boy Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no Baker Boy tickets on sale for 2027, because no concerts have been announced in Australia or New Zealand. Any website already selling seats or offering a presale code for a 2027 show is not official.

When dates are announced, tickets will be sold through the official outlets named in the announcement, the venue box office for many club shows, or the festival itself for festival appearances. Pre-sales for fans who have signed up often come before the general sale. Mobile tickets are often name-locked, so buy from an official outlet and use the authorised resale option if you cannot attend. Avoid anyone selling 'presale codes'.
