Kelsea Ballerini has formally detailed her return to Australia, with three east-coast dates announced for December 2025. The tour will see the American pop-country singer-songwriter performing locally for the first time in seven years, having previously visited in 2018 as part of that year’s CMC Rocks. The full list of tour dates, as well as pre-sale and ticketing information, can be found below.
“It has been way too long since I have been down under,” said Ballerini in a press statement announcing the tour. “I am so excited to be touring Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane this December. 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.” Patterns is the name of Ballerini’s fifth studio album, which she released back in October 2024. It debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 and in the top 50 on the ARIA Albums Chart locally, with all five of her albums now having charted in Australia.
Kelsea Ballerini – ‘Baggage’
Joining Ballerini for all three dates will be fellow American singer-songwriter Carter Faith, as well as Adelaide’s own Aleksiah. Faith will be touring Australia for the second time this year as Ballerini’s main support act, having previously visited back in March for CMC Rocks 2025. Aleksiah, for her part, wrote that she was “literally fainting” over the news when she shared the announcement to her social media. “This is a dream come true,” she wrote. “I cannot wait to share the stage with such an incredible artist and songwriter. Maybe I’ll make her try some Vegemite…”
Since Ballerini was last in Australia, she has released three studio albums: 2020’s Kelsea, 2022’s Subject To Change and the aforementioned Patterns. Six of her singles from these albums have achieved Platinum certification in North America, including double-platinum status for 2020’s ‘Hole In The Bottle’ in Canada. The song peaked at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100.
