Japanese superstar duo YOASOBI will bring their electrifying live show to Australia in March 2027, announcing two headline arena dates as part of the YOASOBI 11-CITY ASIA-OCEANIA TOUR 2026–2027 “SUPER PLANET” alongside show details for Hong Kong.
Comprising of composer Ayase and vocalist ikura, YOASOBI will perform at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday 17 March, followed by Sydney’s Afterpay Arena on Friday 19 March, allowing local fans the opportunity to experience one of Japan’s most influential contemporary music acts live, as the duo continues its remarkable rise on the international stage.
The announcement follows a landmark period for YOASOBI, whose global ascent has seen them break new ground for Japanese artists across North America, Europe and Asia. In the second half of 2026, the duo completed its largest North American tour to date, promoted by Live Nation, drawing more than 70,000 fans across six shows and delivering a series of historic milestones.
The tour included a return to Lollapalooza for a second appearance on the festival’s Main Stage, as well as YOASOBI’s debut at OSHEAGA, where they became the first J-pop act to perform. The duo also made history as the first J-pop act to perform at and sell out New York’s Barclays Center, before closing the tour with a performance at the iconic Hollywood Bowl, another first for a J-pop artist.
Since forming in 2019 under the slogan “novel into music”, YOASOBI have built a distinctive musical identity around transforming stories into songs, bringing together vivid storytelling, expansive production and ikura’s instantly recognisable vocals. Their innovative approach has helped them become a defining force in modern J-pop, connecting with audiences far beyond Japan.
Their breakout debut, “Into The Night (Yoru ni Kakeru),” topped multiple Japanese charts and became a streaming phenomenon, surpassing 1.2 billion cumulative streams. In 2021, YOASOBI ranked No. 1 on Spotify’s list of the most-played Japanese artists internationally, while their track “Monster (Kaibutsu)” was named one of TIME’s 10 Best Songs of 2021.
In 2023, YOASOBI reached another global milestone with “Idol,” the explosive hit that topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100 year-end chart and spent 22 consecutive weeks at No. 1. The song also set a record for the fastest single to reach 100 million streams on the Billboard Japan chart and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, cementing the duo’s status as a worldwide phenomenon.
YOASOBI’s international live credentials have continued to grow. In 2024, they delivered acclaimed performances at Coachella and Lollapalooza, alongside sold-out shows in North America, including New York’s Radio City Music Hall. In 2025, the duo completed its largest Asia arena tour to date, described as the largest arena tour ever undertaken by a Japanese artist, before taking its headline show to London’s OVO Arena Wembley and performing at Barcelona’s Primavera Sound.
Now, with the “SUPER PLANET” Asia-Oceania tour bringing the duo to Australian stages, local audiences can look forward to experiencing their electronic pop, anisong sounds and storytelling that have propelled YOASOBI from a groundbreaking Japanese project into a must-see live act!
