Louis Tomlinson is heading back to Australia this October, locking in a run of East Coast arena shows just over a year after his last visit.
The former One Direction member will kick things off at Melbourne’s John Cain Arena on Tuesday 20 October, before heading to Sydney and Brisbane later that week. The tour is presented by Untitled Group and comes as part of a wider global run spanning Europe, North America and the UK.
Tomlinson is touring in support of his third album How Did I Get Here, released in January. The record debuted at number one in the UK and number three in Australia, continuing the steady rise of his solo career since stepping out on his own in 2020.
Speaking earlier this year, Tomlinson hinted that a return to Australia was already locked in. “I always find the question funny because as long as I’ve been touring, I’ve always come to Aus. It’s inevitable,” Tomlinson said. “I love it there, I love it. So yeah, I’ll definitely, definitely be there. I think we’re just – it can’t be too long until we announce, to be honest.”
He added, “It’s happening. The tour’s happening. Get your tickets soon.”
Since releasing his debut album Walls, Tomlinson has built a loyal following as a solo artist, leaning into a more stripped-back, guitar-driven pop sound. His 2022 follow-up Faith In The Future pushed that further, setting the tone for his latest release.
The upcoming shows are expected to blend newer material with fan favourites from across his catalogue, delivered in the arena format he has become known for.
Pre-sale tickets go live from 9am local time on Monday 30 March, with general sale from 9am on Tuesday 31 March.
