Benson Boone has added another major name to his upcoming Australian tour, with Ruel confirmed as special guest across all nine dates of the ‘Wanted Man’ Tour this November.
The Sydney-born pop artist will join Boone for the arena run through Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, marking a homecoming for Ruel following an international touring schedule spanning North America, Europe and the UK.
Ruel recently released his third studio album, Kicking My Feet & Screaming, led by the single “Don’t Say That”.
The 23-year-old kicked off his own “Kicking My Feet & Screaming” Tour across North America in February, alongside festival appearances at Lollapalooza in Chile, Argentina and Brazil and Colombia’s Estéreo Picnic. He will tour Europe and the UK in October before returning to Australia to join Boone.
The Australian shows come as Boone continues his 35-date ‘Wanted Man’ North American tour. The singer has become one of pop’s biggest breakout acts following the release of his 2024 debut album, Fireworks & Rollerblades, and its global hit “Beautiful Things”.
The track reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and earned Boone a Best New Artist nomination at the 2025 Grammy Awards. It also spent six weeks at the top of the ARIA Charts, and was crowned the number one single on the ARIA end-of-year singles chart for 2024.
He followed his debut with 2025 album American Heart, featuring singles including “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” and “Mystical Magical”.
