Fresh off the back of tour announcements from musical megastars Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish, there’s another huge concert to slot into our schedules (and our budgets). Fans have been waiting a long time for Childish Gambino (the musical masterwork from multi-talented American actor, writer, producer and director Donald Glover) to return Down Under, and our patience has finally paid off.

The long-awaited Australia and New Zealand leg of Childish Gambino’s The New World Tour has been announced at long last, and it will give Aussies and Kiwis a fantastic way to start off 2025. We’ve gathered all the details below.

When is Childish Gambino in Sydney for his Australia tour 2025?

The New World Tour will take over Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Tuesday, February 4 2025. At this point, only one Sydney show has been announced, but watch this space.

When do Childish Gambino tickets go on sale?

Clear your calendars for Monday, May 20. General sales for the Sydney show begins at 11am via Ticketek – but you can get in before if you're keen to jump on the presale.

Is there a presale for the Childish Gambino Sydney show?

For an artist as huge as Childish Gambino, of course! The American Express presale kicks off on Thursday, May 16 from 9am local time for Sydney shows. Frontier presale starts the next day on Friday, May 17, also from 9am for the Sydney show. You can also sign up here for the artist presale – that one starts from 11am on Thursday, May 16.

If you’re tempted to see Childish Gambino in more than one city around Australia, make sure to check the presale times for each location as they’re all staggered.

GA standing: $199 A reserve seating: $199 B reserve seating $169 C reserve seating $129 Who is the support for Childish Gambino’s Australian shows?
