Swae Lee Announces 2027 Australian Same Difference Tour

The rapper and singer will play five East Coast and West Coast dates in January, supporting his debut solo album.

American rapper and singer Swae Lee is set to embark on a five-date tour across Australia in January 2027 to promote his debut solo album, Same Difference. The Australian leg of his journey begins on January 6 at Melbourne’s Forum, followed by performances in Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on January 8 and Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on January 10.

The tour continues with shows in Adelaide’s Hindley Street Music Hall on January 12 and Perth’s Metro City on January 13. Presented by Live Nation, the tour arrives after Swae Lee released his first solo studio album, which marked a significant milestone in the artist's career, featuring collaborations with industry heavyweights such as Post Malone, Jhené Aiko, and French Montana.

Swae Lee gained initial fame as part of the duo Rae Sremmurd, hitting the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 with "Black Beatles" in 2016. His solo successes include hits like "Unforgettable" with French Montana and "Sunflower" with Post Malone, the latter of which topped the Hot 100 for 33 weeks in 2019. Swae Lee's influence in hip-hop is evident through his songwriting credits, such as on Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode."

The Live Nation presale for the tour opens on Thursday, October 22 at 9 a.m. AEDT, with general ticket sales commencing on Friday, October 23 at 10 a.m. AEDT.
