Childish Gambino has added new shows to his Australian tour to meet demand. 

The hip hop star announced the Australian and New Zealand legs of his world tour at the beginning of this week, confirming shows in Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth in January and February of next year. 

Childish Gambino – aka Donald Glover – will now perform twice at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena and Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Monday, May 20th at staggered times, while there will also be several pre-sales, also at staggered times (see full details below). This will be Childish Gambino’s first visit Down Under since 2019, and he will be accompanied by special guest Amaarae. 

Childish Gambino also released a surprise new album this week, titled Atavista

The album features reimagined versions of tracks from Childish Gambino’s previous album, 3.15.20, which reached number 11 on the ARIA Albums Chart. 

In addition to his album dropping this week, Childish Gambino also released an official music video for his song “Little Foot Big Foot”, which was directed by Hiro Murai (watch below).
