Seven-time Grammy nominated R&B star Givēon’s headline tour is coming to Australia and New Zealand in 2026.
The announcement comes after Thursday’s grand finale show for his US leg of ‘Dear Beloved, The Tour’ at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden, which he sold out.
‘Dear Beloved, The Tour’ will be Givēon’s first time in Australia since his overwhelmingly successful 2023 ‘Give or Take Tour’, and marks his debut headline show in New Zealand, ending a three-year hiatus from touring.
The tour is in support of the recently released BELOVED, his first studio album since 2022’s Give or Take. His comeback campaign has been champagne-worthy — BELOVED is his second album to debut within the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 (No. 8), and it secured a 4/5 star review from Rolling Stone.
The Australian and New Zealand leg of the tour, produced by Live Nation, will kick off in Perth on Thursday, February 12th, make stops in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, before concluding at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Sunday, February 22nd.
He will be supported by special guests, US singer-songwriter Sabrina Claudio and British signer-songwriter Sasha Keable.

“How this album is going to translate to the live show – I think it’s going to be magical because the album was made live, so it’s made to be performed live,” Givēon told Rolling Stone before kicking off the US leg of the tour.
“It’s going to be my best tour. I want to do strings, I want to do horns, I want to do background vocals, so I feel like [I’ll have] a full eight to 10 piece [backing band], depending on how big the stages are. The album is really a movie, it’s a world, and I want the night to feel like that.”
