Released in January 2026, Don’t Be Dumb is Rocky’s fourth studio album and his first full-length project in eight years. The record features an eclectic collection of collaborators, including Doechii, Gorillaz, Jessica Pratt, will.i.am and Tyler, the Creator, among others. The album also marks a new chapter in Rocky’s career, which spans music, fashion, acting and entrepreneurship. The upcoming Australian and New Zealand dates follow the conclusion of his sold-out 25-date European and UK tour, which took him across 19 countries and featured tracks from the latest album alongside established fan favourites.
Tickets for the Australia and New Zealand shows are scheduled to go on general sale on October 16, 2026, at 1 pm local time, with artist and selected partner presales beginning October 14 and additional presales on October 15. With the return coming after an eight-year gap, the tour gives regional audiences a chance to experience Rocky’s latest creative era live. As the Don’t Be Dumb World Tour continues, the December dates add another milestone to the rapper’s international run, bringing his music and wider artistic vision to fans across Australia and New Zealand.
