Vince Staples Returns: First Solo Tour in a Decade!

Vince Staples is embarking on his first solo headline shows in Australia in almost ten years, with dates scheduled for January 2027. The tour, named the Cry Baby Tour, is in support of his seventh studio album, 'Cry Baby,' released in June.

The acclaimed rapper will perform in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. These shows are strategically placed around his performance as a headliner at the sold-out Beyond the Valley festival in Victoria. This tour signifies a major return to the Australian live scene for Staples.

'Cry Baby' represents a shift towards more outward-facing social commentary, utilizing live instrumentation. The album was preceded by music videos for tracks like 'Blackberry Marmalade.' Staples has been presenting this new material with a live band, a performance style he previously showcased during his Los Angeles album release event.

Staples, who broke through with his 2015 debut 'Summertime '06,' has maintained a consistent charting presence with each subsequent release. Beyond his music career, he has also ventured into television, creating and starring in the Netflix comedy 'The Vince Staples Show,' which debuted in 2024.
