Since exploding onto the scene in 2002 with her self-titled debut – the fastest-selling album by a female artist in Soundscan history – Ashanti has consistently delivered hits that defined an era.
Tracks like Foolish, Rock Wit U (Awww Baby) and Only U became instant anthems, while her infectious collaborations with Ja Rule, Fat Joe and Fabolous soundtracked early 2000s clubs and radio waves alike.
The New York native has released six studio albums, racked up Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, a GRAMMY, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Beyond music, she’s carved out a successful acting career and used her platform for youth advocacy and community work.
“Australia and New Zealand has always shown me so much love, and I’m so excited to be coming back this coming Fall for my Rock Wit U tour! The energy, the fans, the memories — it’s always so amazing,” Ashanti said. “I can’t wait to Rock with you all!”
With over 30 million albums sold and a catalogue that still dominates playlists, Ashanti’s return promises nights filled with nostalgia, fresh energy and that signature smooth delivery. This is a rare chance to see a true R&B legend in venues ranging from Perth’s Riverside Theatre to Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena.
Presales kick off at 1pm local time on Wednesday 3 June, with general tickets on sale from 1pm local Thursday 4 June. Get them here.
