Ashanti Plots 2026 Australian and New Zealand Tour

The Grammy Award-winning performer returns in November.

Get ready to party like it’s the early 2000s when R&B superstar Ashanti returns to Australian and New Zealand shores this November.

After a successful run of dates across the UK with Sean Paul, the Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter is excited to bring all her hits down under.

“Australia and New Zealand has always shown me so much love, and I’m so excited to be coming back this coming Fall for my Rock Wit U Tour!” Ashanti exclaimed in a statement. “The energy, the fans, the memories — it’s always so amazing. I can’t wait to Rock with you all! Australia and New Zealand get ready… we’re going to have a blast together!”

The ‘Foolish’ hitmaker begins her tour in Perth at the Riverside Theatre on Monday 9 November. Ashanti then makes her way to Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Wednesday 11 November, followed by concerts at Sydney’s TikTok Arena on Friday 13 November and Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne on Saturday 14 November, wrapping things up in New Zealand on Monday 16 November at Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre.

A music icon, Ashanti has been a global powerhouse ever since the release of her self-titled 2002 debut album. Taking out the top spot on both the Billboard Top 200 and R&B Charts, Ashanti became the fastest-selling debut album by a female in history.

Ashanti has gone on to release six acclaimed albums, won a Grammy Award and appeared on some of the biggest R&B hits of all time, including Ja Rule’s ‘Always On Time’ and Fat Joe’s ‘What’s Luv?’.

Her return to Australia and New Zealand this November is an unmissable opportunity to reconnect with one of music’s greats.
