The Kid Laroi has officially announced his highly anticipated ‘The First Time’ Arena Tour across Australia, set to kick off this November. This marks a significant return for the young artist, who has been making waves in the music industry since his rise to fame.
The tour will span seven cities and feature eight dates, starting on November 11 at the Gold Coast Home Of The Arts. Following the Gold Coast, Laroi will perform in Brisbane, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, and will conclude the tour with two shows at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on November 29 and 30.
Joining Laroi on this exciting journey will be special guests Quavo, a founding member of Migos, and the controversial West Sydney drill group OneFour. The tour is produced by TEG Live, ensuring a high-quality experience for fans.
Originally, this tour was meant to be a trans-Tasman stadium visit scheduled for February 2024, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it has been re-routed to the current dates. Laroi expressed his excitement on social media, stating, “I’M COMING BACK HOMEE & BRINGING SOME FRIENDS WITH ME. Thank you for being so patient with me & I’m sorry that this took so long. I love you guys beyond words & I promise we’re gonna make this special!!!!!!”
The Kid Laroi, born Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, has a remarkable story. Raised in inner-city Sydney, he is now based in Los Angeles. His last tour in Australia was the End of the World Tour in May and June 2022, which was a massive success.
This upcoming tour will support his debut full-length album, also titled ‘The First Time,’ which was released on November 10 through Columbia/Sony Music. The album debuted at No. 3 on the national ARIA Chart and features the hit track “Girls,” which recently made history by receiving the first-ever Australian Chart #1 Award, celebrating local success on the charts.
Tickets for the general public will go on sale starting August 8 at 1 PM local time via ticketek.com.au. Fans are eagerly anticipating the chance to secure their spots for what promises to be an unforgettable experience.
Laroi’s journey to stardom has been nothing short of extraordinary. His debut mixtape, ‘F*ck Love,’ released in 2020, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 a year after its release. At just 17 years old, he became the first solo male Australian artist to achieve this feat since Keith Urban in 2013.
In February 2021, ‘F*ck Love (Savage)’ topped the ARIA Albums Chart, making Laroi the youngest Australian solo artist to do so at the age of 17 years, 5 months, and 22 days. His accolades include multiple ARIA and NIMA awards, several Billboard Music Awards, and a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.
