After selling out their 2025 Australian tour, US act MKTO look set to repeat that feat this September, with the band having sold out three of their six shows.

Today, the pop-meets-hip-hop duo of Malcolm Kelley and Tony Oller have announced emerging artist harrykirby as their tour support. The 18-year-old from the Central Coast is making waves with his contemporary pop songs, gaining a loyal fanbase across the country.

Fresh from the release of his debut EP Written On My Brain, which includes the singles 'All In' and 'Rock Bottom', harrykirby has already performed to sold-out crowds across Australia.

Speaking about the tour, MKTO's Kelley says, "We're super excited to still be able to do shows with music we put out years ago. Even more excited to add New Zealand to this run as well as more cities in Australia. Places that showed us love from the very beginning. Can’t wait to see everybody and have a good time!”

MKTO's Australian tour gets underway with a sold-out show at the Princess Theatre in Brisbane on Thursday 3 September. The duo then hit Melbourne’s 170 Russell (Friday 4 September), followed by sold-out gigs at Adelaide’s Lion Arts Factory (Saturday 5 September) and Fremantle's Freo Social (Sunday 6 September), before stopping by Sydney for a concert at Liberty Hall (Thursday 10 September) and then Newcastle's King St Bandroom (Friday 11 September). MKTO wrap things up in New Zealand at The Studio in Auckland on Sunday 13 September.

Limited tickets are still available via teamwrktouring.com.
