Grammy winner Leon Bridges is bringing The Happiness Anytime Tour back to Melbourne for a second night, after the first date sold out in record time.
Melbourne’s long weekend just got a whole lot louder. Leon Bridges has announced a second and final Melbourne show for his Happiness Anytime tour, doubling the fun for local fans.
Following huge demand from yesterday’s presale, Leon Bridges will now play two nights at Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne as part of the Live at the Gardens series, with the newly added show landing on 7 March.
The original date, 6 March, falls across the Labour Day long weekend, meaning fans can make a proper weekend of it.
Joining Leon Bridges across both Melbourne shows are special guests 54 Ultra and Surprise Chef, rounding out a lineup that spans soul, indie pop and cinematic instrumental grooves.

The tour ties in with the rollout of Leon Bridges’ fifth studio album, Happiness Anytime, with the final instalment, Part 3, landing on 25 September via Columbia Records.
Parts one and two are already out in the world, blending the sun-soaked warmth of his 2015 debut Coming Home with the looser, groove-heavy spirit of his Khruangbin collaborations.
The 12-track record was produced by J Lloyd-Watson and Lydia Kitto of British trio Jungle, with lead single Talk It Over — filmed in Amsterdam — capturing the record’s focus on movement and joy.
Across six Australian tours, Leon Bridges has worked his way from intimate theatres to sold-out Opera House Concert Halls, major arenas and some of the country’s best-loved wineries, and is known for turning his live shows into genuine celebrations.
New Jersey’s 54 Ultra, the solo project of JohnAnthony Rodriguez, brings a mix of synthy indie rock and Latin-soul influences to the support slot, fresh off sets at Coachella and Lollapalooza and a support run with Malcolm Todd.
Melbourne’s own Surprise Chef round out the bill, with their cinematic, film-score-inspired sound landing them praise from Questlove ahead of their new album Frogs In A Pond, due October 23.
Tickets went on sale today at 9am local time via Ticketmaster.
