The Kid LAROI Australia Tour 2027

The Kid LAROI has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no tour, arena run or festival booking on the calendar for either country, and the only concerts confirmed for the rest of 2026 belong to A Perfect World Tour, his run across the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe for the album Before I Forget.

That gap matters to fans at home, because Charlton Howard is one of the most successful Australian artists of his generation. Born in Waterloo in Sydney's inner south in August 2003, raised partly in Broken Hill and Redfern, he became the youngest Australian solo act to top the ARIA Albums Chart with the mixtape F*ck Love, and his 2021 single 'Stay' with Justin Bieber went to No. 1 in Australia, Canada and the United States.

This page sets out what is and is not known about his plans for 2027, and gives a full account of his Australian concerts so far: from a park stage in Camperdown in 2018 to two headline arena tours, the End of the World Tour in May and June 2022 and The First Time Tour in November 2024, and a full-length show at John Cain Arena in Melbourne in January 2026.

The Kid LAROI Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about a The Kid LAROI tour of Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No venue, city, promoter or sale date has been published, and nothing on this page should be read as a forecast of specific dates. If an announcement is made, the confirmed dates will be added here as soon as they are verified.

What is confirmed is the international run for Before I Forget. The album came out on 9 January 2026 and debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and in the top five on the ARIA chart. On 17 February 2026 he announced A Perfect World Tour, with 36 dates across the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe and Tommy Richman as support on the US leg. In Paris, the tour plays Le Bataclan on Sunday 8 November 2026, which sold out, and on an added second night on Monday 9 November 2026. No 2027 dates, in Australia or anywhere else, had been published for him as of 9 October 2026.

His record suggests that home shows usually follow an album cycle rather than open it. The End of the World Tour reached Australia in 2022, almost two years after F*ck Love, and The First Time Tour arrived in November 2024, a year after that album was released and after an earlier February 2024 run was postponed for logistical reasons. That is a pattern, not a promise: any claim of 2027 Australian dates before an official announcement should be treated with caution.

Until then, the safest approach is to follow official channels and sign up for the alert on this page. Be wary of 'presale codes', ticket listings or leaked tour posters for Australian or New Zealand shows that have not been announced; no tickets can legitimately be sold for concerts that do not yet exist.

Before The Kid LAROI Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

The Kid LAROI's documented Australian stage history starts in his early teens. The setlist archive lists a show at Camperdown Memorial Park in Sydney on 11 November 2018, the park that hosts the Newtown Festival, which Wikipedia lists among his 2018 appearances, and a date at Max Watt's House of Music in Sydney on 6 February 2019. In that period he also performed with Manu Crooks at Listen Out, rapped with Tkay Maidza at Triple J's One Night Stand and supported Juice Wrld on his Australian tours of 2018 and 2019, the start of a mentorship that shaped his career.

His first headline tour, the End of the World Tour, brought him back to Australia in May 2022 for the first time since he had moved to Los Angeles in 2019. It opened with two nights at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on 26 and 27 May, then played RAC Arena in Perth on 30 May, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on 1 June and the Riverstage in Brisbane on 7 June. He fell ill before the first Melbourne show at Rod Laver Arena on 3 June, which was postponed at short notice; the Melbourne shows went ahead at Rod Laver Arena on 10 and 12 June 2022.

Those 2022 sets ran to between 18 and 25 songs and were built almost entirely from the F*ck Love era: 'Diva', 'SAME ENERGY', 'GO', 'TELL ME WHY', 'TRAGIC', 'WRONG', 'SELFISH', 'NOT SOBER', 'Thousand Miles', 'SO DONE' and 'ALWAYS DO', closing with 'STAY' and 'WITHOUT YOU'. At the second Sydney show he added 'My City', his 2020 collaboration with Onefour.

The First Time Tour reached Australia in November 2024 and was larger again. It opened with a sold-out show on the outdoor stage at HOTA on the Gold Coast on 11 November, then played the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 14 November, CommBank Stadium in Sydney on Saturday 16 November, RAC Arena in Perth on 20 November, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on 24 November and MyState Bank Arena in Hobart on 27 November, finishing with two nights at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on 29 and 30 November 2024. Quavo and Onefour were on the bill. At the Brisbane show he paid tribute to Juice Wrld.

A few weeks before that tour he had played to a stadium crowd at home: a short six-song set at Accor Stadium in Sydney on 6 October 2024, the day of the NRL Grand Final, that included 'GIRLS', 'STAY', 'WITHOUT YOU' and a cover of INXS's 'Never Tear Us Apart'. Because it was a pre-match show rather than a concert, it is not listed in the concert table.

His most recent Australian concert in the setlist archive is at John Cain Arena in Melbourne on Wednesday 28 January 2026, less than three weeks after Before I Forget came out. The 19-song set leaned on the new record, with 'ME + YOU', 'PRIVATE', 'A PERFECT WORLD', 'NEVER CAME BACK', 'BACK WHEN YOU WERE MINE', 'RATHER BE', 'A COLD PLAY' and 'THANK GOD', alongside 'WITHOUT YOU', 'STAY' and 'NIGHTS LIKE THIS'.

The table below lists 18 documented Australia/NZ concerts by The Kid LAROI between 2018 and 2026, with the most shows in Melbourne (5), Sydney (5), Adelaide (2), Perth (2), Brisbane (2), Hobart (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

The Kid LAROI Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

Festival appearances are a small part of The Kid LAROI's Australian record. Wikipedia notes that in 2018, before he was signed to Columbia, he performed with Manu Crooks at Listen Out and with Tkay Maidza at Triple J's One Night Stand, and played the Newtown Festival in Sydney. Since his international breakthrough, his Australian concerts have been his own headline arena shows rather than festival slots.

The Kid LAROI Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard was born on 17 August 2003 in Waterloo, New South Wales. His stage name comes from the Kamilaroi people, of whom his maternal great-great-grandfather was a member. He started out uploading raps to SoundCloud, released the EP 14 with a Dream in August 2018, the day before his 15th birthday, and reached the top five of Triple J Unearthed High with 'Disconnect'. In 2019 he signed with Lil Bibby's Grade A Productions in a joint venture with Columbia Records.

His mixtape F*ck Love (2020) went to No. 1 on the ARIA chart and, through its two reissues, to No. 1 on the Billboard 200. 'Without You', remixed with Miley Cyrus, reached No. 8 on the Hot 100, and 'Stay' with Justin Bieber topped the charts in Australia, Canada and the United States in 2021. At the 2021 ARIA Music Awards he won Best Artist and Best Pop Release, and 'Stay' was voted second in Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2021, the highest placing ever for an Indigenous artist.

His debut studio album, The First Time (2023), was led by 'Love Again' and 'Too Much' with Jung Kook and Central Cee, and peaked at No. 3 in Australia. In February 2024 he released the documentary Kids Are Growing Up: A Story About A Kid Named Laroi, and in 2023 he made his acting debut in the A24 film Y2K. After scrapping an album in 2025, he recorded Before I Forget in about three months; it was released on 9 January 2026, with a deluxe edition following on 24 April 2026.

Off stage he has kept close ties with home. In May 2022 he donated $100,000 to a youth service in Waterloo that he attended as a child, and in May 2024 he set up the LAROI Foundation. He supports the South Sydney Rabbitohs and has described himself as an ambassador for Australian music.

The Kid LAROI Australia Tour 2027: what is confirmed for 2027

Nothing in Australia or New Zealand. As of 9 October 2026, The Kid LAROI's announced dates end with the European leg of A Perfect World Tour in late 2026, including the two Bataclan nights in Paris on 8 and 9 November. No promoter has announced Australian or New Zealand shows for 2027, and no festival has listed him.

That does not mean a home tour is ruled out, only that it has not been announced. When dates do come, the first sign will normally be an official announcement with venues and sale times, not an unexplained ticket listing. This page will be updated with any verified 2027 dates.

The Kid LAROI Australia Tour 2027: the Melbourne nights

Melbourne has been his most frequent arena stop. Both national tours ended with two nights at Rod Laver Arena: 10 and 12 June 2022 on the End of the World Tour, after the postponed 3 June date, and 29 and 30 November 2024 on The First Time Tour. In January 2026 he was back in Melbourne Park, this time at John Cain Arena, with a set built around Before I Forget.

The 2024 Melbourne shows ran to 20 and 21 songs in the setlist archive. On the final night 'My City' appears twice, and 'Aperol Spritz' and 'ALWAYS DO' sat in the run-up to the 'STAY' and 'NIGHTS LIKE THIS' finish.

The Kid LAROI Australia Tour 2027: Sydney, Redfern and home

Sydney is where the story starts. He grew up between Waterloo, Redfern and the regional city of Broken Hill, and his early shows were at Sydney parks, clubs and festivals. His first headline arena dates anywhere in Australia were the two Qudos Bank Arena nights of May 2022.

For the 2024 tour, the Sydney show moved west to CommBank Stadium in Parramatta, the largest venue of that run, on Saturday 16 November. Its 22-song set was the longest of the tour and brought back 'SO DONE', 'SELFISH' and 'Blessings'. A month earlier he had played the NRL Grand Final pre-match show at Accor Stadium.

The Kid LAROI Australia Tour 2027: touring beyond the big five

The First Time Tour went further than most arena tours by young pop and hip-hop acts. It opened on the Gold Coast at HOTA's outdoor stage and included MyState Bank Arena in Hobart on 27 November 2024, his only documented Tasmanian show. Perth and Adelaide have been on both national tours, at RAC Arena and the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

New Zealand has not appeared in his documented concert history so far: the setlist archive has no New Zealand shows for him. Any 2027 tour that included Auckland or Wellington would therefore be his first headline concert there.

The Kid LAROI Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

A The Kid LAROI arena set usually runs to around 20 songs. On The First Time Tour in 2024 the shows opened with 'BABY I'M BACK', 'SORRY' and 'WHAT'S THE MOVE?', moved through 'Diva', 'TRAGIC', 'DESERVE YOU', 'GIRLS', 'GO' and 'BLEED', and built to 'WITHOUT YOU', 'Thousand Miles', 'ALWAYS DO', 'STAY' and a closing 'NIGHTS LIKE THIS'.

Across all his documented Australian shows, the most played songs are 'STAY', 'WITHOUT YOU', 'Thousand Miles', 'Diva', 'TRAGIC', 'GO' and 'ALWAYS DO'. The John Cain Arena show of January 2026 shows how a future tour might sound: the Before I Forget songs took up about half of the 19-song set, while the older hits were kept for the second half.

His shows have also made room for local collaborators. 'My City', recorded with Sydney drill group Onefour, appeared on both national tours, and Onefour were on the bill in 2024.

The Kid LAROI Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no tickets on sale for The Kid LAROI in Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. Any website offering tickets, presale access or 'codes' for 2027 shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide or Auckland is not selling an official product.

When a tour is announced, tickets will be sold through the official ticketing outlets named in the announcement and through venue box offices, sometimes with an artist or fan presale first. Australian arena tickets are now usually mobile tickets linked to the buyer's name, so only buy from the official seller or its authorised resale service, and check resale rules before paying more than face value.
