Childish Gambino is set to take the global stage once again with The New World Tour.
The long-awaited Australia and New Zealand leg, which includes Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Friday 7 February 2025, follows extensive North American, European and UK dates.
This will be Childish Gambino’s first visit down under since 2019. Amaarae is confirmed as direct support for Australia and New Zealand.
Childish Gambino is the alter ego of multi-hyphenate American entertainer Donald Glover, who is also known for acting roles on television shows like Community and the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning Atlanta, as well as the film Solo: A Star Wars Story.
As Childish Gambino, Glover refined his off-kilter brand of hip-hop on his 2013 breakthrough album Because the Internet, before making a sharp turn toward R&B-inspired funk, which won him a Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance in 2017 for the single “Redbone.” In 2018, his politically charged song “This Is America” debuted at number one atop the Billboard Hot 100, buoyed by a viral music video that addressed gun violence and racial injustice.
The success of those two projects launched him into a creative burst, which led to the release of his genre-defying, mind-bending 3.15.20 album in 2020.
