Seven years since her last visit, country-pop powerhouse Kelsea Ballerini is returning to Australia for a highly anticipated East Coast tour in December 2025.
Presented by Frontier Touring and Chugg Entertainment, the multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated artist will headline three massive shows across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, bringing with her rising US country star Carter Faith and Australian indie-pop favourite aleksiah.
Kicking off at Sydney’s ICC Theatre on December 6th, Ballerini will then head to Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena on December 10th, before wrapping up the run at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on December 13th. Tickets go on sale Tuesday, July 1st, from 2 p.m. local time, with a Frontier Members presale starting Monday, June 30th.
“It has been way too long since I have been down under and I am so excited to be touring Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane this December,” Ballerini shared. “Australia has always had a special place in my heart, and I can’t wait to hear what PATTERNS sounds like with an Aussie accent.”
Ballerini’s return follows a huge run in North America with her 35-date arena tour supporting PATTERNS — her 2024 album that hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Albums chart and saw collaborations with Noah Kahan, Jessie Jo Dillon and Hillary Lindsey. It also earned her a nomination for CMA’s Entertainer of the Year.
With seven US No. 1 singles to her name — including “Miss Me More,” “I Quit Drinking” and “half of my hometown” featuring Kenny Chesney — Ballerini is hailed for both her lyrical vulnerability and powerhouse performances. Her 2022 short film Rolling Up the Welcome Mat, which she wrote and directed, further cemented her artistry and drew acclaim from Rolling Stone, Variety and The New York Times.
Joining the tour is Carter Faith, who recently made her Australian debut at CMC Rocks and has racked up over 140 million global streams. Adelaide-born aleksiah will also open the shows, bringing her breakout single “The Hit” and infectious live energy to the stage.
