From 2014 to 2022, Davidson captivated audiences as a cast member on NBC's long-running sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live.
His comedic talent also shines through in his stand-up specials, including his Netflix release Turbo Fonzarelli, and his 2020 hit Pete Davidson: Alive From New York.
Notably, Davidson was named one of Forbes' 30 Under 30 and recognised in Time's 100 Most Influential People of 2022.
Tickets will be sold through Live Nation and are available for general purchase from 10:00am AEST on Friday, August 1, and range in price from $92 - $150.
Davidson was last in Australia in 2022 to film the movie Wizards! in Cairns, Queensland, opposite Orlando Bloom and Naomi Scott.
Last week, Davidson and his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt announced they are expecting their first child together.
And while it has been claimed the pregnancy was something the couple 'weren't planning' - the SNL alum and English model are beyond 'excited' to become parents.
The comedian - who has previously been linked to high-profile celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande - first sparked romance rumours with Hewitt in March.
A source opened up to Us Weekly about their baby news and stated, 'Pete and Elsie definitely weren't planning on starting a family but are over the moon about it.
'They are so excited. They have a really playful relationship, and things are going really well.'
Despite dating for a 'short amount of time,' the pregnancy 'has brought them even closer. It's a healthy relationship for Pete.'
The insider explained that fatherhood was something Davidson always wanted for his future and that 'the timing in his life is perfect.'
The actor also broke his silence over the pregnancy news while recently talking to E! News.
'I'm very lucky and very happy,' Pete expressed to the outlet, and added he could not wait, 'to take care of something and show it the childhood I didn't have.'
He continued: 'I assume you just try to give them what you didn't have, and what you didn't like, not do it.'
The actor has talked about his dreams of being a dad in the past - such as when he made an appearance on Kevin Hart's show Hart To Heart back in 2022.

The freakiest thing about Freakier Friday is the airbrushing of Lindsay Lohan's past
2003, as we're often reminded in the easy-breezy Freakier Friday, was a simpler time. Lindsay Lohan was 17 and right on the verge of being, albeit briefly, a megastar. Meanwhile, Jamie Lee Curtis got to rock out and rediscover her youth when they swapped bodies as mother and daughter in Freaky Friday, a bright, winning, frisky summer romp, which was an even bigger hit than Lohan's next film, Mean Girls. A great deal has changed – especially for Lohan – in the intervening 22 years. She's been through a crash-and-burn pariah phase, which involved jail time and multiple rehab stints. In 2013, she was opportunistically cast in Paul Schrader's grim meta-porno The Canyons. And now – after paving the way with three Netflix romcoms – she is finally mounting this Disney-approved comeback. Freakier Friday waves a wand and asks us to pretend that none of Lohan's struggles ever happened – which is perhaps the one freaky thing about it. The film is an Etch-a-Sketch wiped clean; unobjectionable fun, if a trifle anodyne. We shouldn't belabour the plot that causes single mum Anna (Lohan) and solicitous gran Tess (Curtis) to swap bodies yet again. Crucially (and awkwardly) it's not with each other. This time, it's with a pair of Gen Z family members who are sworn enemies. Harper (The Fabelmans' Julia Butters) is Anna's sullen rebel of a daughter, while Lily (Sophia Hammons) is her snooty British stepsister-to-be, after a whirlwind romance between Anna and a fellow single parent, her new fiancé Eric (Manny Jacinto). These complications want to spin off into fluffy absurdity. Instead they thicken into treacle. It's a mistake to have Lohan and Curtis mainly interact as new characters, because the emotional core between their old pair gets dislodged – though it certainly helps that Butters is such a splendid, grounding co-star both before and after the switcheroo. We might forget that Curtis has now won an Oscar (for Everything Everywhere All At Once), if it weren't that her reliable comedic chops are, thankfully, right to the fore. This time, when she bolts up in horror to bemoan the crevices in her face and 'having no lips', it's a disarming self-roast, and one of the funniest moments. You do wish, though, that they'd have let Lohan, who seems theoretically game, risk a touch of that sort of thing herself. You get your money's worth of that jolly staple, American actors putting on intentionally bad British accents. You also get, by my count, one A+ one-liner about Facebook, and one great overall scene. It's in a record shop, where Lohan-as-Harper tries to sabotage the wedding by throwing herself in front of Anna's old flame Jake (Chad Michael Murray, who played her boyfriend in the original, amusingly wheeled on as a befuddled man-prop). The kicker there is Curtis-as-Lily lurking behind the LPs, and occasionally surfacing with her face masked by a boomer time capsule – The Best of Sade! Sinead O'Connor! – to remain incognito. I probably chortled as much in that few minutes as in the rest of the film's runtime combined, because they strike the perfect tone of goofy nostalgia sprinkled over tart physical comedy. The rest is not going to rock anyone's world, but go in with the right expectations, and it may work some modest magic. PG cert, 111 min. In cinemas from Aug 8

Freakier Friday review – puppyishly uninhibited Jamie Lee Curtis saves body-swap sequel
No one could be gamer or goofier than Jamie Lee Curtis in this latest twist in the Freaky Friday body-swap franchise; she finds some distinctly likable form, plays broad comedy to the hilt and pretty much carries the movie – with the help of some nice supporting cameo turns – when her co-star Lindsay Lohan isn't exactly nailing the laughs. And it should be said that as an essay in alternative existences and parallel realities, this film and Curtis's starring role are far more interesting than the bafflingly overrated Oscar-winner Everything Everywhere All at Once. The preceding film, from 2003, had Curtis and Lohan as a quarrelling mother and daughter who swap bodies due to the hilarious magical otherness of Chinese fortune cookies. (In 2025, the new version is a bit culturally lairy of gags like that.) It is based on Mary Rodgers's 1972 novel, first filmed in 1976 with Jodie Foster as the daughter, a formidably precocious young star who was in those days considered to be already body-swapped into fierce adulthood. The publicity for this film promises legacy cameos and when one teen character talks about her French boyfriend, many FF fans will have been excitably wondering if this French boyfriend has a French-speaking mom played by a certain French-speaking star? In this new contemporary reality, written by Jordan Weiss and directed by Nisha Ganatra, Curtis's character Tess Coleman is a grandma, therapist and parenting podcaster, and her once-tearaway daughter, Lohan's character Anna, is a music producer and single mom to a Gen-Z teen; this is Harper, played by Julia Butters, a young actor still legendary for her scene opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. When Harper has a big fight in school with her obnoxious, princess-y British lab partner, Lily (played by non-Briton Sophia Hammons), she is horrified when Anna falls hard for Lily's hot single dad Eric (Manny Jacinto); these enemies are both appalled at the prospect of becoming stepsisters. This situation becomes even more complicated – freakier in fact – when a zany palm reader and fortune teller triggers a new cosmic body-swap nightmare, this time involving four women, not two. Another version of this movie might have wanted to dip its toe into the issues of body image and identity: Freakier Friday keeps it light, partly as a result of Curtis's jokey grandma, in whose knockabout generational presence there is no question of anything tricky. Curtis gets the laughs with her puppyishly uninhibited performance and there are some great gags, including one at the expense of oldsters who use a certain social media platform. There are also some amusing contributions from SNL trouper Vanessa Bayer as the fortune teller, comedian X Mayo as the school's dyspeptic principal and Santina Muha as a US official who has to assess the authenticity of Anna and Eric's marriage. As for Lohan, she does a reasonable job, although her own body-swapped status as the legendary wild-child of old who is now playing a stressed middle-aged person has to remain unemphasised, simply because Lohan doesn't really have the comedy chops. It's Curtis who embodies the story's wacky spirit. Freakier Friday is out on 7 August in Australia and 8 August in the UK and US.
