You probably called it — Holly Humberstone is coming back and she's upgrading.

The British singer-songwriter has announced her return to Australia in February 2027 for a run of headline theatre shows, her biggest in the country to date.

Holly Humberstone will bring her acclaimed second album Cruel World to four cities across the east coast and Perth, with fellow artist Holly Hebe joining as special guest.

Hot on the back Cruel World

Cruel World, which landed at number four on the UK Albums Chart, has racked up more than 83 million streams since its release. The album digs into love, identity, adulthood and shifting ideas of home, blending nostalgia-tinged alternative pop with a sound built for live rooms.

Humberstone wrote the record with her live band and audiences front of mind, and it shows — she’s spent recent years on stages at Coachella, Glastonbury and Lollapalooza, and joined Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium.

Hebe returns as well

Holly Hebe, who supported Humberstone on her Australian dates last year, has been building serious momentum of her own. The Melbourne-raised singer, songwriter and producer makes dreamy, piano-driven pop shaped by a rural seaside upbringing. She’s notched sold-out headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne, performed at the 2025 Australian Open and Beyond the Valley, and toured nationally with The Rions and The Dreggs.

Mastercard and Vodafone presales open 24 August at 10am local time, with Secret Sounds presale following 25 August. General tickets go on sale 26 August at 10am local.
