Daya Is Heading Back to Australia for Her Debut Headline Tour This July and August

Well, hello. Daya is finally getting her own Australian headline run.

The US pop singer-songwriter will hit Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this July and August 2026 for her debut Australian headline tour, bringing the new album Til Every Petal Drops to local stages. If you were there for the ‘Hide Away’ days, the ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ chokehold, or more recently got your life together to ‘Dreamin’ with Dom Dolla, this is the part where you start checking your bank account and pretending to be calm.

Presented by Destroy All Lines, the tour kicks off at Rosemount Hotel in Perth on Tuesday 28 July, before heading to Melbourne’s Corner Hotel, Sydney’s Factory Theatre, and Brisbane’s The Triffid. All four dates are 18+.

This tour comes correct

There is something especially appealing about an artist like Daya doing intimate headline dates. She is not exactly short on big-stage experience. Since breaking through in 2015 with ‘Hide Away’, she has played everywhere from Coachella and Lollapalooza to The White House, while also popping up across dance, pop and electronic spaces with collaborators including Gryffin, RL Grime, Illenium, Anyma and, very relevant to Australian ears, Dom Dolla.

But a smaller run like this feels like a nice fit for where she is at now. Til Every Petal Drops is being framed as her second album and a big creative step forward, with a more experimental sound and a sharper sense of who she is as an artist. She knows exactly what she wants this to sound like now.

“I have a deeper sense of myself as an artist,” Daya says. “I’ve evolved so much, and I’m exploring everything I can. I’ve embraced who I am at this point of my life, and I’m confident and excited for the world to hear it.”

From ‘Hide Away’ to now, she’s had a pretty ridiculous run

It is easy to forget how young Daya was when she first blew up. ‘Hide Away’ went triple platinum and pushed her into the spotlight at just 16, then Sit Still, Look Pretty followed not long after, with the title track helping cement her as one of those pop voices who could swing between radio-ready hooks and something a bit moodier.

Then came The Chainsmokers collab ‘Don’t Let Me Down’, which became absolutely massive and scored a GRAMMY Award for Best Dance Recording. Since then, she has kept moving between genres rather than staying boxed into one lane, which probably explains why her catalogue still feels surprisingly fresh instead of trapped in a very specific 2016 time capsule.

Her connection with Australian audiences got another boost in 2025 through ‘Dreamin” with Dom Dolla, which went on to earn multiple ARIA nominations and took out Best Dance Release.
