Vince Staples is heading back to Australia. The “Norf Norf” rapper has announced a run of headline shows for January 2027 in support of his latest album Cry Baby , marking his first solo Australian dates in nearly a decade. Presented by Untitled Group and Beyond the Valley , the Cry Baby Tour will take in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, wrapping around Staples’ set at Beyond the Valley, the sold-out Victorian festival where he is among the headliners. The run marks his first headline shows in the country since 2018. The tour supports Cry Baby , Staples’ seventh studio album, released in June via Section Eight Arthouse, Loma Vista and Concord. A departure from the introspective, hometown-focused work of 2022’s Ramona Park Broke My Heart and 2024’s Dark Times , the album is a more outward-facing piece of social commentary built around live instrumentation, and was trailed by videos for “Blackberry Marmalade,” “White Flag” and “Cotton.” Staples has been performing the material with a live band, a shift he first showcased at his sold-out Los Angeles album-release show. The Long Beach, California, native broke through with his 2015 debut Summertime ’06 and its platinum single “ Norf Norf. ” His 2017 sophomore album Big Fish Theory debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 — his highest-charting album to date — and he has continued to chart with each subsequent release, including his 2021 self-titled album, which reached No. 21. Beyond music, Staples has expanded into television, creating and starring in the Netflix comedy The Vince Staples Show , which premiered in 2024. Tickets go on general sale Tuesday, Sept. 1 at 3 p.m. AEST, following an Untitled presale from Aug. 31.
