Kelsea Ballerini Returns to Australia With Expanded 2025 Tour

Kelsea Ballerini is expanding her long-awaited return to Australia. The Grammy-nominated country-pop star has added two new shows to her 2025 Australian tour — extending the run to five headline dates across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane this December.

The additional performances will take place on Dec. 7 at Sydney’s ICC Theatre and Dec. 11 at Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne. Tickets for all five shows are on sale now via Frontier Touring.

“It has been way too long since I have been down under and I am so excited to be touring Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane this December,” Ballerini said in a statement. “Australia has always had a special place in my heart, and I can’t wait to hear what PATTERNS sounds like with an Aussie accent.”

The tour marks Ballerini’s first visit to Australia in seven years, and follows her major U.S. arena tour supporting her 2024 album PATTERNS. The album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and includes collaborations with Noah Kahan, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Hillary Lindsey. It also earned Ballerini a nomination for CMA Entertainer of the Year — one of her highest career honors to date.

Since first breaking out with her 2015 debut single “Love Me Like You Mean It,” Ballerini has become one of country-pop’s most successful crossover artists, earning seven No. 1 hits at U.S. country radio, including “Miss Me More,” “I Quit Drinking” with LANY, and the CMA-winning duet “Half of My Hometown” with Kenny Chesney.

Joining Ballerini on the 2025 Australian run is Nashville-based singer-songwriter Carter Faith, who recently made her Australian debut at CMC Rocks and has since surpassed 140 million global streams. Adelaide-born rising artist aleksiah will also open all dates, fresh off the breakout success of her track “The Hit.”

The five-date tour kicks off Dec. 6 in Sydney and wraps Dec. 13 in Brisbane. For full ticketing details, visit frontiertouring.com/kelseaballerini.
