Conan Gray is heading back to Australia — and this time, he’s going big. The multi-platinum singer-songwriter has announced the Wishbone World Tour, a 42-date global run in support of his acclaimed fourth album Wishbone. The tour kicks off in February 2026 in Minneapolis before making its way through North America, Europe, the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Australian fans will see Gray in arenas for the first time, beginning September 26 at Auckland’s Spark Arena and continuing through Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. The tour marks a significant next step for the 25-year-old artist, who’s moved from bedroom pop beginnings to festival main stages, building a global following through his confessional songwriting and sleek alt-pop production.

Opening each night will be rising pop newcomer Esha Tewari, whose atmospheric vocals and emotive writing have quickly earned her a devoted audience. Together, the pairing feels like a snapshot of where pop is headed: introspective, sharp, and emotionally direct.

Wishbone has become Gray’s most successful release to date, debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Album Sales chart and reaching the Top 3 on the Billboard 200 — his biggest debut week yet. Earlier this year, his intimate Pajama Show Toursaw him sell out venues across the U.S. and Mexico, including his first headline set at Red Rocks. With Wishbone, he’s traded lo-fi nostalgia for a widescreen sound — ambitious, carefully crafted, and still unmistakably him.

Sat Sept 26 – Auckland, NZ – Spark Arena

Tue Sept 29 – Brisbane, AU – Brisbane Entertainment Centre

Thu Oct 1 – Sydney, AU – Qudos Bank Arena
