Eight years is a long gap between visits. A$AP Rocky plays Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena on 5 December.
That Melbourne date opens the Australian leg of the Don’t Be Dumb World Tour, which Live Nation is running through four cities before it finishes at Perth’s RAC Arena on 17 December. Sydney’s Afterpay Arena and the Brisbane Entertainment Centre fill the middle of the run. It’s the first time A$AP Rocky has played here in eight years, and the first chance anyone in the country gets to hear the new record in a room.
The European and UK leg finished sold out across 25 dates and 19 countries. Rocky became the first rap artist to play eight arena shows across central and eastern Europe, and the run picked up the fastest-selling rap show on record in Greece plus the biggest arena sales a rap artist has done in Zagreb, Belgrade and Sofia.

Don’t Be Dumb is Rocky’s fourth studio album and his first release in eight years. It passed one million pre-saves on Spotify and shifted more than 130,000 vinyl copies before it came out, with cover art by Tim Burton and guests including Doechii, Gorillaz, Thundercat, Tyler, The Creator, Jon Batiste, Brent Faiyaz, Danny Elfman and will.i.am. His back catalogue sits at over 25 billion streams, with LONG.LIVE.A$AP and AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP both debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 and 2018’s TESTING topping iTunes charts in 16 countries.
Nothing about the last couple of years has been small. During the Paris stop Rocky announced his SS27 fashion show, Anti War Global Economics, hours before it took over Accor Arena, and the 6,000 people who showed up made it the most-attended fashion show ever staged. He walked straight from that into his own sold-out gig the same night. He also co-chaired the 2025 Met Gala, acted in two A24 films, and currently holds creative director roles at both Ray-Ban and PUMA.
