Lil Baby is taking his WHAM World Tour to Australia and New Zealand later this year.

The Yes Indeed hitmaker, 30, made the exciting announcement on Wednesday and revealed he will first perform at the RAC Arena in Perth on Wednesday, October 8.

He will then head to Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on October 10, Brisbane on the 11th, Melbourne on the 14th before wrapping things up in Auckland on the 16th.

It is the rapper’s first time touring Australasia and the concerts are to promote his new album called Who Hard As Me.

Pre-ticket sales for MasterCard holders are on sale on Wednesday, February 19 to Thursday, February 20.

General release tickets go on sale this Friday, February 21.

More expensive VIP Packages will be available for fans, offering extras such as premium seating and a meet-and-greet with the US rap star.

The American singer, whose birth name is Dominique Jones, has a huge fan base in Australia and in 2021 his duet with Drake, Girls Want Girls, debuted at number two on the ARIA singles chart.

His other popular songs include his Ed Sheeran duet, 2Step, and a collaboration with Post Malone titled On The Road.

He is known as one of the industry’s hardest working performers and reaches over 36million monthly listeners on Spotify.

The Atlanta-born performer has sold over ten million records worldwide. 

Lil Baby’s tour announcement follows his close friend Drake recently performing sold-out shows across Australia.

Drake recently stunned fans by hosting an intimate warm up gig for his Australian tour, as the God’s Plan hitmaker covered all costs on the bar, invited 25 Miss Universe contestants, and set one rule: ‘No phones’.

He played a 90-minute set at Le Club in Melbourne, posting footage of the performance to Instagram which make it appear as if he surprised fans by popping up at a local watering hole unannounced.

In reality, the 38-year-old rented out the entire venue – where he dined with his entourage earlier that day – and invited about 100 local socialites and influencers to attend.

A procession of black cars pulled up outside chef Chris Lucas’ new modern French restaurant, Maison Bâtard, and it was close to midnight when Drake took the stage.

The rapper decided to ‘get the party started’ after renting out the private upper terrace of the three-level venue with his $700,000 winnings from Crown Casino for lunch.

According to the Herald Sun, Drake opened the bar and covered all costs of the evening, including martinis, champagne, and shots for his young female guests, as well as 30 of his private entourage and security personnel.

Chef Chris and his wife, and her two daughters, attended the performance, as well as Melbourne ‘It’ girls Bianca Roccisano and Amanda Smorgon.

Drake is one of the best-selling artists in music history, with over 250 million albums sold worldwide and four number one singles in Australia.
