Rising R&B star BOY SODA has announced a new tour, with three shows set for March next year.
Fresh off his ARIA win for Best Soul/R&B Release and following a sold-out debut album tour celebrating the recently released Soulstar, BOY SODA is returning for his next chapter – bigger, bolder, and brighter than before.
The ‘2026 Lil’ Obsession Tour’ will kick off at Melbourne’s Northcote Social Club on March 14th, followed by Brisbane’s Black Bear Lodge on March 21st, and Sydney’s new Heaps Normal Health Club on March 28th.
Tickets will go on sale at 10am (AEDT) on Wednesday, December 3rd. A presale will run from 10am (AEDT) on Monday, December 1st — see here for details.
BOY SODA unveiled his thirteen-track debut album in October — a bold and soulful introduction that has already amassed nearly 10 million lifetime streams and earned critical acclaim. Soulstar is a bold and genre-blurring statement, with tracks about love, grief, celebration, and self-discovery.
“I think self-expression is the ability to curate the life that comes from within us, and my only goal as an artist is to be in touch with that output,” he told Rolling Stone AU/NZ in a recent interview. “For Soulstar, it’s the first time I’ve had the vocab or the ability to notate certain elements in me, and I’m really proud of how that all arrived on a visual, styling and musical level — it all feels very intuitively correct and divinely aligned.”

BOY SODA has firmly cemented his place as one of Australia’s most exciting new voices in Soul and R&B, continuing to push the boundaries of genre and emotion. His performances, backed by a dynamic live band, blend electrifying energy with vulnerability and heart.
Speaking on the tour, BOY SODA said: “We worked really hard to deliver the music and I can’t wait to bring it into the live world and deliver these stories in person.”
The tour comes on the heels of his recent trip to the US in partnership with East West – a JV of Warner Music. While in Los Angeles, he collaborated with creators and media platforms including Garden Sessions, Goyo, and On The Radar – before heading to New York Fashion Week where he attended shows by Prada, Keem Studios, and KSUBI, and connected with creators such as Indie Hourzz and Tyler Walsh.
Now, the up-and-comer has signed with LA-based talent agency United Talent Agency, whose roster also includes the likes of The Kid LAROI.
BOY SODA is also due to play at Beyond the Valley over New Year’s, appearing on a lineup led by Dom Dolla, Kud Cudi, Addison Rae, and more.
