Ashnikko Expands SMOOCHIES TOUR With Extra Shows and a Brisbane Upgrade

The pop disruptor is coming back bigger, louder, and even more unhinged.

US hyper-pop provocateur Ashnikko is officially turning the chaos dial up to eleven, with extra shows announced in Sydney and Melbourne and a venue upgrade in Brisbane for her SMOOCHIES TOUR across Australia and New Zealand this September 2026.

After touring with Billie Eilish on the Hit Me Hard and Soft arena run earlier this year, Ashnikko has been riding a wave of manic energy (and demand). Both the first Sydney and Melbourne shows sold out in record time, prompting second dates at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre (Sunday 20 September) and Melbourne’s Forum (Tuesday 22 September).

Brisbane fans aren’t missing out either, the Fortitude Music Hall show on Friday 25 September has officially sold out and been upgraded to the Riverstage. All existing tickets remain valid, so no need to panic-refresh your inbox.

Tickets for the new shows (and Brisbane upgrade) go on sale soon, Frontier Member presale starts Wednesday 15 October (10am local time), with general on sale Friday 17 October (10am local time) via frontiertouring.com/ashnikko

This news comes as we prep for the Smooch era! Ashnikko’s second album, Smoochies is set to release this Friday 17 October via Warner Music Australia and promises a maximalist world of chaotic tenderness. The 15-track project is her most personal and defiant work to date, made from what she describes as “radical joy” in a world that often feels hostile to femmes and marginalised communities.

Expect the absurd and the grotesque, glitter and grime, and a delicious middle finger to the male gaze. Smoochies features the bratty brilliance of ‘Sticky Fingers’, alongside ‘Trinkets’, ‘Itty Bitty’, ‘Smoochie Girl (Starring Starlight Kid)’, and ‘Wet Like (feat. COBRAH)’, the kind of tracks that feel equal parts feral and fun.

With over 3.9 billion global streams, 700 million video views, and viral hits like ‘Daisy’, ‘Slumber Party’, ‘STUPID’, and ‘Paint The Town Blue’, Ashnikko has proven she’s not just a pop artist, she’s an entire cinematic universe.

Catch the candy-coated chaos live this September. Bring your eyeliner, your rage, and your weirdest outfit.
