From viral anime hits to sold-out international arenas, Japanese pop duo YOASOBI are officially bringing their ‘SUPER PLANET’ tour to Australia in March 2027.
Australian J-pop fans, it's time to get excited. Japanese musical phenomenon YOASOBI have officially announced their first-ever Australian headline shows, bringing their electrifying blend of electronic pop, infectious melodies and storytelling to Melbourne and Sydney next March.
The duo, made up of producer and composer Ayase and vocalist ikura, will take over Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday 17 March, before heading to Sydney's Afterpay Arena on Friday 19 March as part of their YOASOBI 11-CITY ASIA-OCEANIA TOUR 2026–2027 ‘SUPER PLANET’.
Since forming in 2019 under the slogan ‘novel into music’, YOASOBI have carved out a seriously unique space in the J-pop scene. Their concept is simple but brilliant: transforming stories into songs. Combining Ayase's dynamic production with ikura's unmistakable vocals, the duo has built a sound that effortlessly moves between pop, electronic music and the world of anime soundtracks.
And if you've spent any time exploring modern J-pop or anime music, chances are you've already come across their work.
Their breakout single, ‘Into The Night (Yoru ni Kakeru)’, became a streaming juggernaut, surpassing 1.2 billion cumulative streams. Then came ‘Monster (Kaibutsu)’, which earned a spot on TIME's 10 Best Songs of 2021, and, of course, the absolute cultural takeover that was ‘Idol’.
Released in 2023 as the opening theme for the anime sensation Oshi no Ko, ‘Idol’ became a global phenomenon. The track spent 22 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and reached the top of the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, proving just how far Japanese music could travel.
But YOASOBI's success isn't just happening through streaming platforms. The duo has been making some serious moves on the international live circuit, with appearances at Coachella and Lollapalooza, sold-out performances at New York's Radio City Music Hall and a headline show at London's OVO Arena Wembley.
Their 2026 North American tour marked another major milestone, attracting more than 70,000 fans across six shows. Along the way, YOASOBI became the first J-pop act to perform at OSHEAGA and the first to perform at and sell out New York's Barclays Center, before wrapping things up at the iconic Hollywood Bowl.
Now, with the ‘SUPER PLANET’ tour making its way across Asia and Oceania, Australian fans finally get their chance to experience the duo's larger-than-life live production without having to book a flight overseas.
Whether you're a longtime YOASOBI listener, an anime music enthusiast or simply looking to discover your next J-pop obsession, these shows are shaping up to be two seriously exciting additions to Australia's live music calendar.
