Alex Warren just made his upcoming trip back to Australia and New Zealand a lot more interesting. The singer behind “Ordinary” has added rising Californian songwriter Alyssa Grace as the special guest for all thirteen shows on the Australia and New Zealand leg of his Finding Family on the Road World Tour 2026, putting two of pop’s fastest-rising names on the same stage.
The pairing makes sense on paper and in practice. Grace, just 19, has built an audience of more than 4.5 million monthly listeners off the strength of a handful of songs, led by “bloodstream,” a track that took off on TikTok before climbing onto the national singles chart and reaching the Top 30 on Australia’s ARIA Singles Chart. Her debut EP, spilling my guts, leans into folk-pop instrumentation and diary-style songwriting, threading together earlier tracks like “dog with a bone,” “picking petals” and “bones” alongside her breakout single. It’s a sound built on heartbreak and self-doubt turned into something that resonates — not far off from the emotional territory Warren has mined throughout his own rise.
The timing isn’t accidental, either. Warren’s second studio album, WILDCHILD, lands August 28 — the exact day his Australian tour opens in Sydney. The record follows recent singles “FEVER DREAM,” “PASSENGER” and “FINE PLACE TO DIE,” continuing the intensely personal songwriting that’s carried Warren from social media creator to one of the fastest-growing artists in pop music.
That growth has been dramatic even by internet-to-arena standards. Warren’s 2025 debut album, You’ll Be Alright, Kid, reached the Top 5 on the national album chart, propelled largely by “Ordinary,” a single that’s been certified multiple-times platinum across the U.S., Australia and New Zealand, spent multiple weeks atop global song charts, and has now crossed 1.6 billion streams. The song’s success carried Warren to some of the biggest stages in music this year, including his first appearances at the American Music Awards, the MTV Video Music Awards, and the Grammys, along with a late-night television debut and a surprise team-up with Ed Sheeran at Coachella.
Finding Family on the Road marks Warren’s first true arena headlining tour, a global run spanning Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania that kicked off in April in Düsseldorf and wraps in September in Perth. The Australia and New Zealand leg follows a sold-out eight-date run through the region in 2025, one that required venue upgrades in multiple cities to keep pace with demand. This time around, Warren and promoter Frontier Touring built the run bigger from the jump, and ticket demand has already forced additional dates in both Sydney and Melbourne.
Here’s the full lineup for the Australia and New Zealand leg, all featuring Alyssa Grace as support:
| Date | City | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Aug. 21 | Christchurch | Wolfbrook Arena |
| Aug. 22 | Christchurch | Wolfbrook Arena |
| Aug. 24 | Auckland | Spark Arena |
| Aug. 28 | Sydney | Afterpay Arena |
| Aug. 29 | Sydney | Afterpay Arena |
| Aug. 30 | Sydney | Afterpay Arena |
| Sept. 1 | Brisbane | Brisbane Entertainment Centre |
| Sept. 2 | Brisbane | Brisbane Entertainment Centre |
| Sept. 4 | Melbourne | Rod Laver Arena |
| Sept. 5 | Melbourne | Rod Laver Arena |
| Sept. 6 | Melbourne | Rod Laver Arena |
| Sept. 9 | Adelaide | Adelaide Entertainment Centre |
| Sept. 12 | Perth | RAC Arena |
For Grace, joining a run this size is a significant next step. Support slots on major arena tours have a track record of turning breakout streaming numbers into full-blown fanbases, and thirteen shows across two countries puts her in front of exactly the kind of audience that helped launch Warren’s own career.
Tickets for the tour are on sale now through Frontier Touring, with additional dates added throughout the year in response to demand. For a run built around the idea of finding connection on the road, pairing Warren with an artist whose entire catalog is about processing heartbreak and growth feels less like a scheduling decision and more like a natural fit.
