Ethel Cain 2026 Australia and New Zealand tour: Presale, dates, venues, and more explored

American singer-songwriter Ethel Cain is officially set to return to Australia and New Zealand in early 2026 as part of her Willoughby Tucker Forever world tour. The newly announced February run will be her first Australian headline shows since 2023. It follows a sold-out 2025 North American and European tour.

The upcoming 2026 Australian and New Zealand dates are part of her global schedule that will see Ethel Cain headline multiple venues, including New York's Radio City Music Hall, Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium, and London's Eventim Apollo.

The North American leg features stops in Seattle, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Dallas, New York, and Chicago, among others. The European leg in October 2025 includes Manchester, Glasgow, London, Paris, Berlin, and Madrid, before wrapping in Lisbon in November 2025.

Ethel Cain announced the upcoming Australian and New Zealand leg via an official Instagram post, which read:

"australia + new zealand…..it's time ♡ tickets go on sale monday, august 18th at 11 am local time"

Ethel Cain is the stage name of Florida-born artist Hayden Anhedönia. Ethel Cain emerged in the late 2010s after Anhedönia began self-releasing music online. Her 2021 EP Inbred gained significant attention.

Ethel Cain's 2022 debut album was Preacher's Daughter. She followed it up this year with Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You. It was released in August 2025 and was recorded over a year in studios in Alabama, Pennsylvania, and Florida.

Ethel Cain has spoken openly about the emotional weight of the project:

"This record still resonates a lot deeper with me than Preacher's Daughter did by the time it came out. It still feels raw and too close to home. This is the scariest record I think I have ever made."
