It’s been eight years since A$AP Rocky last hit Australian stages, but the wait is almost over.
The US rap superstar has announced a four-date arena tour for December, bringing his ‘Don’t Be Dumb World Tour’ Down Under.
It will kick off at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on December 5th, 2026, before heading to Sydney’s Afterpay Arena on December 9th and Brisbane Entertainment Centre on December 14th. The Australian leg will wrap up at Perth’s RAC Arena on December 17th.
He will also play a New Zealand Aotearoa show at Auckland’s Spark Arena on December 12th.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 1pm on Friday, October 16th, following artist, Vodafone and Mastercard presales from 12pm on Wednesday, October 14th, and Live Nation and Westfield presales from 12pm on Thursday, October 15th. All times are local.
The Australian shows follow a sold-out 25-date run across Europe and the UK, which saw Rocky perform in 19 countries in support of his fourth studio album, Don’t Be Dumb.

According to tour 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. He also became the first rapper to stage eight arena shows across Central and Eastern Europe.
Don’t Be Dumb arrived earlier this year as the follow-up to 2018’s Testing, featuring a stacked list of collaborators including Tyler, the Creator, Doechii, Gorillaz, Brent Faiyaz, Thundercat, Jon Batiste, Danny Elfman, Jessica Pratt and will.i.am.
The album also saw Rocky team up with filmmaker Tim Burton, who created its cover artwork. Ahead of its release, Don’t Be Dumb reportedly surpassed one million presaves on Spotify, while more than 130,000 vinyl copies were sold through pre-orders.
Beyond music, Rocky has continued to expand his presence in fashion and film. In 2025, he co-chaired the Met Gala and appeared in two A24 productions, Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest and Mary Bronstein’s If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, alongside Australia’s own Rose Byrne.
