A$AP Rocky is returning to Australia and New Zealand. The rapper has announced a five-date arena tour for December, his first visit to the region in eight years.
The local leg of his Don’t Be Dumb World Tour opens Dec. 5 at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, followed by Sydney’s Afterpay Arena on Dec. 9, Auckland’s Spark Arena on Dec. 12, Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Dec. 14 and Perth’s RAC Arena on Dec. 17. Tickets go on general sale Friday, Oct. 16 at 1 p.m. local time, following artist, Vodafone, Mastercard, Live Nation and Westfield presales earlier in the week.
The dates follow a sold-out 25-date run across the U.K. and Europe that saw Rocky perform in 19 countries. According to promoter Live Nation, the European leg broke several regional records, including the fastest-selling rap show in Greece and the biggest arena sales for a rap artist in Zagreb, Belgrade and Sofia.
The tour supports Don’t Be Dumb, released in January as the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Testing. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — Rocky’s third chart-topper and his first in more than a decade — moving 123,000 equivalent album units in its opening week, and also topped Australia’s ARIA Hip-Hop/R&B Albums chart. Its lead single “Punk Rocky” reached No. 9 on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, and the record featured a sprawling guest list including Tyler, the Creator, Doechii, Gorillaz, Brent Faiyaz, Thundercat and will.i.am, with cover artwork created by filmmaker Tim Burton.
One of the most celebrated figures in hip-hop over the past 15 years, the Harlem rapper broke through with his 2011 mixtape Live.Love.A$AP and has since topped the Billboard 200 with At.Long.Last.A$AP (2015) and Testing before Don’t Be Dumb. Beyond music, he has become a fashion fixture — co-chairing the 2025 Met Gala — and expanded into film, appearing in the A24 productions Highest 2 Lowest and If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.
