Acclaimed artist and songwriter **Dave** has today announced his long-awaited Australian arena tour for June 2026, marking his first headline tour since the release of his last album ‘We’re All Alone in This Together’ in 2021.

Presented by Live Nation, Secret Sounds and triple j, the tour kicks off in** **at** Brisbane Entertainment Centre **on** Thursday 18 June**, with stops in **Sydney** and **Melbourne**, before wrapping up at **RAC Arena**in **Perth** on **Saturday 27 June**, giving fans across the country an unforgettable opportunity to see him live in action.

Renowned for his razor-sharp storytelling and genre-defying approach to rap, Dave has become one of the most respected voices in contemporary music. He has dominated the rap scene, captivating audiences with his honesty, introspective lyrics, and magnetic stage presence.

The tour follows the release of The *Boy* Who *Played* the *Harp*, Dave’s first new project since 2023. That year, his self-produced Central Cee collaboration “Sprinter” became the first UK rap single to debut at #1 on the Australian chart, where it remained for seven weeks.
