Nilüfer Yanya 2026 Australian tour: Presale, dates, venues, and more explored

British singer-songwriter Nilüfer Yanya has officially confirmed her return to Australia in 2026. It will be her first shows down under since 2019.

The announcement comes as part of her previously declared touring schedule, which has seen her performing across North America with Alex G. She is also preparing to join Lorde's UK and European arena tour later this year. Nilüfer Yanya's Australian dates will see her play three headline shows in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth in February 2026, including an appearance at the Perth Festival alongside other international acts.

Fans can expect to hear live versions of tracks from across her catalogue, including her three studio albums Miss Universe (2019), Painless (2022), and My Method Actor (2024), as well as her most recent EP Dancing Shoes (2025).

Nilüfer Yanya began releasing music independently in 2016. Early EPs like Small Crimes/Keep on Calling and Plant Feed received acclaim. However, it was her debut album Miss Universe in 2019 that brought her significant attention.

She has supported artists including Adele, The xx, Mitski, and Bombay Bicycle Club so far. Yanya has also headlined her own shows across Europe, North America, and Asia. Her work has drawn collaborations and remixes from the likes of Sampha, King Krule, and Little Dragon.
