Henry Moodie Announces First-Ever Australian Tour

Fast NewsHenry Moodie Announces First-Ever Australian Tour

London — Rising British singer-songwriter Henry Moodie has announced the next major chapter in his skyrocketing career: his first headline tour in Australia this August. Known for his emotionally vulnerable lyrics and Gen Z relatability, the 20-year-old Surrey native is now stepping onto the global stage—taking his UK sound to fans halfway around the world.

Moodie, who first gained momentum with his breakout single You Were There for Me, made the announcement on social media this morning, sending fans into a frenzy across TikTok and Instagram. The tour will hit major cities including Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, with tickets expected to sell out quickly.

“This is something I’ve dreamt of for so long,” Moodie shared. “To bring these songs—some written alone in my room in England—all the way to Australia is honestly surreal.”


From TikTok Covers to Global Stages

Henry Moodie is part of a wave of UK artists rewriting the pop playbook. Originally gaining popularity through viral TikTok videos and heartfelt piano ballads, Moodie has since built a loyal international fanbase. His EP in all of my lonely nights peaked on charts across Europe and helped secure a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2025 Brit Awards.

His sound—a mix of intimate pop and acoustic honesty—has drawn comparisons to Lewis Capaldi and Ed Sheeran, though Moodie is carving a voice entirely his own.


Australia, Are You Ready?

The upcoming tour marks his first time performing live in the Southern Hemisphere, and he’s bringing his full band and new arrangements with him.

Australian Tour Dates:

  • Sydney – August 14, Enmore Theatre
  • Melbourne – August 16, Forum Melbourne
  • Brisbane – August 18, The Tivoli

General ticket sales open this Friday at 10AM AEST via Live Nation.


Why It Matters

For young UK artists, international tours have become a benchmark for staying power. With audiences already singing his lyrics back in German, French, and Korean, Moodie’s expansion into Australia is more than a milestone—it’s a signal that British pop’s next era has truly arrived.
