Kehlani is bringing THE KEHLANI WORLD TOUR Down Under in February 2027, with arena dates locked in across Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
The two-time GRAMMY Award winner will tour Australia behind her acclaimed self-titled fifth studio album, Kehlani, which arrived on 24th April, 2026. The record represents a major new chapter for the Oakland-born artist, pairing intimate songwriting with the soulful, genre-fluid R&B sound that has defined her career.
And because apparently Australia needed another reason to lose its collective composure, Kehlani’s live shows are currently going viral for their sensual, fiery performances with her dancers.
Kehlani Is Finally Heading Down Under
Presented by triple j, the Australian leg will feature US alt-R&B singer-songwriter Destin Conrad as special guest across all four dates.
The tour will move from the west coast to the east coast, giving fans in four major cities their chance to experience Kehlani’s new era live.

Kehlani’s current world tour has already been moving through major international venues, with the set drawing on material from across her catalogue, including fan favourites such as “Nights Like This”, “After Hours”, “Distraction” and “Gangsta”, alongside songs from the new album.
A New Era for Kehlani
Kehlani marks the artist’s first full-length album since 2024’s Crash and arrives at a particularly strong moment in her career.The self-titled project debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, while “Folded” became one of the defining songs of this new era. The track also delivered Kehlani her first two GRAMMY wins at the 2026 ceremony, taking home Best R&B Song and Best R&B Solo Performance.
The album itself leans into collaboration and musical history, bringing together an impressive cast that includes Brandy, Cardi B, Missy Elliott, Lil Wayne, Usher, T-Pain and Lil Jon. It also reflects an artist who has spent more than a decade evolving without abandoning the emotional honesty that first connected her with listeners.
From the vulnerability of You Should Be Here to the genre-bending ambition of SweetSexySavage, It Was Good Until It Wasn’t, Blue Water Road and Crash, Kehlani has consistently built a catalogue around intimacy, desire, heartbreak, healing and self-discovery.
“Folded” has become a particularly important moment in Kehlani’s recent career. The Brandy-inspired track helped propel the new album into the upper reaches of the charts and became a major commercial breakthrough. Apple Music describes it as the biggest song of Kehlani’s career to date, while noting its connection to the early-2000s R&B tradition.
Four Cities, One Very Hot February
Destin Conrad will accompany Kehlani throughout the Australian dates. The singer-songwriter has carved out his own space within contemporary R&B and alt-R&B, making him a natural fit for a tour centred on the genre’s more intimate and atmospheric side.
Fans can access presales from Monday, August 24 at 12pm local time, with the Live Nation presale starting Tuesday, August 25 at 1pm. Presales close Wednesday, August 26 at 1pm, ahead of the general sale at 2pm that day, unless tickets sell out earlier.
Moreover, for the tsunami mob, Kehlani is doing exlcusive meet and greets as well.
Kehlani has spent her career making R&B feel personal, sensual and immediate. Now, after two GRAMMY wins and a new album that has pushed her back into the upper reaches of the mainstream, she is bringing that energy to Australian arenas.
The phones will be out. The vocals will be on. And judging by the clips already circulating from her live shows, Australia may want to prepare itself for a February that gets very, very hot.
