Jalen Ngonda Announces 2026 Australian Tour

The R&B/soul sensation returns to Adelaide as part of WOMADelaide.

Untitled Group are bringing soulful crooner Jalen Ngonda back to Australia in 2026, with the budding R&B superstar announcing a run of six dates across March.

After selling out his tour earlier this year, Ngonda is excited to be coming back, posting on social media: “Australia! I'm coming back to you. I've got a lot of new songs to play you. I can't wait to see you all again!”

The voice behind ‘If You Don’t Want My Love’ and ‘Come Around and Love Me’ will be joined on tour by Melbourne-based singer-songwriter WILSN.

Ngonda’s upcoming tour is a mix of headline shows and festival slots, with the silky smooth vocalist beginning the tour at Brisbane’s The Tivoli on Monday 2 March. He then performs two headline gigs at Perth’s Astor Theatre on Wednesday 4 March and Melbourne’s Fourm on Friday 6 March, followed by sets at WOMADelaide in Adelaide on Saturday 7 March and Golden Plains in Meredith on Sunday 8 March. Ngonda’s final concert is at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Tuesday 10 March.

Two years on since the release of his captivating debut album, Come Around and Love Me, Ngonda has spent much of his time touring the globe, selling out venues and taking to festival stages.

2025 has seen two new releases from Ngonda – ‘Just As Long As We’re Together’ and ‘All About Me’ – both of which hark back to the glory days of soul and R&B music.

Having supported Lauryn Hill, sold out shows across North America, Europe and the UK and performed at festivals including Down the Rabbit Hole and Glastonbury Festival, Ngonda is one artist you don’t want to miss.
