Grammy-nominated breakout Alex Warren brings his biggest year to Adelaide Entertainment Centre

Alex Warren is not sneaking back into Adelaide. He is arriving off the back of one of the biggest breakout years any artist has had in 2025, and this September show is the proof.

The numbers alone tell a story most touring acts would kill for. Warren has racked up 7.7 billion career streams and more than 54 million monthly Spotify listeners, figures that put him firmly in the conversation as one of the genuine global breakout stars of the past year. Much of that is down to 'Ordinary', the single he released in February 2025 that has since gone 3x Platinum in the US, 7x Platinum on the ARIA Singles Chart here at home, and 4x Platinum in Aotearoa. It sat at number one on the Billboard Global 200 and Global 200 EX US charts for 10 weeks, and held the top spot on the UK singles chart for 13. It was the top-selling US single release of 2025, full stop, and has now passed 1.6 billion streams in its own right.

That kind of chart dominance tends to open doors, and Warren has walked through most of them. He made his award show debut at both the American Music Awards and the MTV Video Music Awards, turned up at the 2026 GRAMMYs, and has performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Festival appearances alongside Ed Sheeran at Coachella and Jelly Roll at Stagecoach followed, along with a slot at the BRIT Awards 2026.

For Adelaide audiences, this show carries a bit of extra weight. Warren's 2025 Australia and New Zealand tour sold out, forcing venue upgrades to meet demand, so this Adelaide Entertainment Centre date is effectively the victory lap. The Finding Family on the Road World Tour framing suggests a show built around connection rather than spectacle for its own sake, which tracks with an artist who has gone from streaming numbers to arena stages in the space of a single year.

Tickets are on sale now through Ticketek, with prices ranging from $89.90 for C Reserve up to $319.90 for the VIP Experience, GST included. Service and handling fees may apply on top. Worth noting for anyone planning a night out around the show: the venue is card payment only for all onsite purchases, including parking and food, so leave the cash at home.

Given the trajectory Warren is on, and the way 2025 numbers were still climbing into 2026, this is shaping up as one of the hotter tickets on Adelaide's spring calendar. Given the sell-out history on this run, planning ahead seems wise.
