UK rap sensation Aitch is gearing up for a triumphant return to Australian shores in January 2026, marking his first headline run down under since 2022. The Manchester-born artist, known for his sharp lyricism and undeniable stage presence, will bring his electrifying energy across four major cities as he tours his acclaimed sophomore album, 4.

Presented by Secret Sounds and triple j, the tour kicks off at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion on January 3, before hitting Melbourne’s Festival Hall on January 5, Hindley Street Music Hall in Adelaide on January 7, and wrapping up at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on January 9.

Tickets are expected to move fast. Mastercard cardholders can get in early with a presale from Thursday 17 July at 10am local time, ending Monday 21 July. Preferred ticket access follows on Tuesday 22 July at midday. Secret Sounds members can also score early access from Monday 21 July at 11am. General tickets go on sale Tuesday 22 July at 12pm local time.

Aitch’s last visits to Australia - his sold-out 2022 tour and standout festival sets at Splendour in the Grass and Spilt Milk - cemented his place as a crowd favourite. This upcoming tour is set to be a celebration of 4, a body of work that reasserts Aitch's position at the top of UK rap. Since its release, the album has soared to #1 on the UK Independent Albums Chart and #7 on the Official Albums Chart, powered by the singles A Guy Called? and Raving In The Studio. Now, as he prepares to close out a massive 2025 - including a major homecoming at Manchester’s Warehouse Project - Australian fans will be the first international audience to see 4 brought to life on stage.

4 is out now.
