Childish Gambino is set to take the global stage once again, announcing a huge global tour of North America, Europe and Australasia being billed as The New World Tour.
The long-awaited Australia and New Zealand leg kicks off on 28 January 2025 at Auckland’s Spark Arena, before continuing through Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in February 2025, and follows extensive North American, European and UK dates. This will be Childish Gambino’s first visit down under since 2019. You can see him at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Friday 7 February 2025.
Amaarae is confirmed as direct support for Australia and New Zealand.
Childish Gambino, the stage name of multi-talented artist Donald Glover, transcends conventional boundaries of music, film, and television.
Beginning his career as a comedian and actor, Glover rose to prominence with his rap alter ego, delivering genre-blurring albums that blend hip-hop, funk, and soul with socially conscious lyrics. With critically acclaimed albums like “Because the Internet” and “Awaken, My Love!”, he has earned Grammy awards and widespread acclaim for his innovative sound and provocative storytelling.
Beyond music, Glover has made waves as a writer, producer, and actor, notably creating and starring in the hit TV series “Atlanta” and portraying Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story. His versatility, creativity, and fearlessness in pushing artistic boundaries have solidified Childish Gambino as one of the most influential and groundbreaking artists of his generation, leaving an indelible mark on the entertainment industry.
Alongside The New World Tour announcement, Gambino surprised fans with the release of Atavista (3.15.20 reimagined versions) via Liberator Music (part of the Mushroom Group), including 2 new tracks “Atavista” and “Human Sacrifice.” Listen HERE. Additionally, he dropped the official music video for “Little Foot Big Foot,” directed by Hiro Murai, featuring Young Nudy. Watch HERE.
