t’s been nine years between drinks, but J. Cole is finally heading back to Australia and New Zealand.
The American rapper and producer has announced The Fall-Off Tour, a major headline arena run that will span North America, Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The global trek wraps up on 12 December with a stadium show at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, marking his first performance in the region in a decade.
For local fans, the wait ends in November. The tour kicks off in Brisbane at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Wednesday 25 November, before moving to Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Saturday 28 November and Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Tuesday 1 December. The Australia and New Zealand leg will conclude at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Saturday 5 December.
The Fall-Off Tour marks J. Cole’s first solo headline run in five years, following 2021’s The Off-Season Tour. It is also his first global tour since the 4 Your Eyez Only World Tour in 2017.
He is touring in support of his new album The Fall Off, released earlier this month. Known for introspective lyrics and stripped back production, J. Cole’s live shows typically balance big arena energy with more personal moments pulled straight from his catalogue.
Tickets go on sale via a J. Cole pre-sale from 9am local time on Wednesday 18 February. The general sale begins on Friday, 20 February, at 11 am local time via the Fall-Off website.
