Alex Warren is heading back to Australia and New Zealand. The California singer-songwriter has announced a seven-date arena tour across both countries in August and September 2026, returning less than a year after eight sold-out shows on his last visit.
The run kicks off Aug. 21 at Wolfbrook Arena in Christchurch before hitting Spark Arena in Auckland, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Adelaide Entertainment Centre and Perth Arena. General public tickets go on sale Friday, March 20 at 11 a.m. local time.
The tour follows a turbulent moment for Warren on the global stage. At this year’s Grammy Awards, where he was nominated for Best New Artist, his in-ears stopped working 30 seconds before he was due to perform — just as Katseye wrapped their set. He performed anyway.
“It was horrifying,” Warren told the Call Her Daddy podcast. “We rehearsed it all week. All week, we were rehearsing. It was perfect. It went well, and to this day, I don’t know exactly what happened.”
The tour is in support of Warren’s debut album You’ll Be Alright, Kid, anchored by the global smash “Ordinary.” “Ordinary” dominated the Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks, becoming one of only 47 songs in the chart’s 67-year history to lead for double-digit weeks.
It also reigned as Billboard’s Song of the Summer for 2025, topping the seasonal survey for all 14 weeks of the tracking period.
On the Pop Airplay chart, “Ordinary” broke the record for the longest-running No. 1 in the chart’s history, spending 15 weeks at the top. In Australia, the song is currently tied for the second-longest-running No. 1 single in ARIA chart history after spending 17 straight weeks at the summit in 2025.
