After years of anticipation, J. Cole has officially announced his return to the global stage, unveiling ‘The Fall-Off Tour’ – a massive worldwide run including Australia and New Zealand.
Spanning more than 50 dates across over 15 countries, the headline tour will kick off on July 11th in the US before weaving through Europe and the UK, then Australia and New Zealand.
He will land in Australia for shows at Brisbane’s Entertainment Centre on November 15th, Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on November 28th, and Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on December 1st. He’ll play Auckland’s Spark Arena on December 5th.
Tickets will be available starting 9am (local) on Wednesday, February 18th via an artist presale. Additional Mastercard and Vodafone presale will run from 11am (local) the same day. General on sale tickets will be available from 11am (local) on Friday, February 20th. Sign up for presale here.
The tour will conclude with a landmark stadium show at Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium on December 12th, marking J. Cole’s first return to the region in a decade.
‘The Fall-Off Tour’ is J. Cole’s first solo headline tour in five years, following 2021’s ‘The Off-Season Tour’, and his first full global run in nearly a decade since the 2017 ‘4 Your Eyez Only World Tour’. The run supports his seventh studio album, The Fall-Off, which was released earlier this month via Cole World, Inc., under exclusive license to Interscope Records.

His previous album, The Off-Season, arrived in 2021 as his first full-length in three years. Then in 2024, Cole was woven into the narrative of one of hip-hop’s biggest stories when he retreated from battle, while Kendrick Lamar and Drake continued to wage war against each other. More headlines followed in 2025, when he announced the conclusion of his long-running Dreamville festival.
Over the years, more and more time has passed between Cole’s releases. Between 2011 and 2016, he released four studio albums. Between 2016 and 2026, he released three, including The Fall-Off. Rolling Stone gave The-Fall Off a 3.5-star review – read it here.
