When Alex Warren last touched down on these shores, he was still in the early stages of transitioning from internet personality to fully-fledged artist. Even with sold-out crowds and fans screaming his songs back to him, there was a sense of something bigger building beneath the surface.
That steady climb has now paid off.
Warren is returning to Australia and New Zealand later this year with a newfound confidence, following a Grammy nomination and surpassing 50 million monthly listeners, making him one of pop’s most compelling success stories.

A large part of Warren’s success is thanks to his global smash hit “Ordinary”, which earned him the nomination for Best New Artist. It is currently tied for the second longest running No. 1 single in ARIA chart history after it spent 17 straight weeks on top in 2025, and has gone 7x Platinum on the Singles Chart. It has also gone 4x Platinum in New Zealand.
A string of emotionally-charged singles has since seen Warren sharpen his identity as a songwriter, leaning into raw, diaristic storytelling while scaling up his sound to match increasingly larger rooms. It’s a balance that’s resonating with in the real world, where his fanbase continues to grow with each release.
The latest, “Fever Dream” captures the surreal intensity of life at full speed, from a hard hitting romantic love, which reflects on Alex meeting his wife Kouvr for the first time and the ever-changing chaos of fame. It was released earlier this month following weeks of teasers online.
