'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.

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.'
