Indigenous hip-hop sensation Baker Boy has announced an extensive Australian tour scheduled for early 2026, spanning ten major cities to showcase his sophomore album *DJANDJAY*. The tour will kick off at Perth Festival on February 21, 2026, before making its way through Adelaide, Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, Coolangatta, Barwon Heads, Melbourne, Darwin, and concluding in Alice Springs on May 2, 2026.
Named after Baker Boy’s grandmother and Yolŋu spirit guide, the *DJANDJAY* album represents a significant artistic evolution for the performer, blending hip-hop with punk, gospel, and electronic elements while incorporating three languages: Yolŋu Matha, English, and Burarra. This linguistic and musical diversity is expected to translate into a dynamic live experience that pushes boundaries beyond his previous performances.
The tour’s venue selection demonstrates Baker Boy’s commitment to reaching diverse audiences, balancing prestigious festival appearances at Perth Festival and WOMADelaide with intimate headline shows at venues like Liberty Hall in Sydney and Northcote Theatre in Melbourne. The artist’s decision to include regional locations alongside major capitals guarantees fans across Australia can witness his energetic performances firsthand.
Baker Boy enters this tour with considerable momentum, following his headline-grabbing AFL Grand Final 2025 performance alongside Snoop Dogg, which catapulted his visibility to new heights nationally. Baker Boy has described the upcoming album as his strongest work to date, featuring powerful tracks like ‘THICK SKIN’ and ‘LIGHTNING’ that showcase his artistic growth. Industry observers note that the strategic timing of the album release in October 2025, followed by the extensive tour, positions Baker Boy for a potential breakthrough moment in his career trajectory. This marks a significant progression from his debut album Gela, which won ARIA Award for Album of the Year in 2022.
