Grammy Award winner and contemporary R&B star Leon Bridges returns to Australia in January 2025 – presented by Penny Drop, Chugg Entertainment and Frontier Touring. Landing down under for the first time since 2022 to perform his biggest Australian shows to date, the Texan singer-songwriter will bring to the stage all elements of his career spanning experiences, inspirations, and award winning catalogue of songs.
Kicking off at Brisbane’s iconic Riverstage on Friday 17 January, Leon’s all ages tour will continue through ICC Sydney Theatre and Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl, with stops at some of the country’s most spectacular wineries, including Bowral’s Centennial Vineyards and Geelong’s Mt Duneed Estate as part of A Day on The Green.
No stranger to Australian shores, Leon’s 2025 tour marks his sixth visit to Australia since his 2016 debut, and an incredible trajectory that has seen him progress from intimate theatres to multiple sold-out Sydney Opera House Concert Halls on his last visit. Celebrated for his captivating on-stage presence, Bridges is a rare talent and true entertainer. From unforgettable TV appearances, including last week’s stunning rendition of ‘That’s What I Love’ with The Roots on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, to intimate gigs for the likes of Barack Obama at the White House, Leon has continued to push the boundaries of his career.
Joining the tour as special guests in Brisbane, Bowral and Mt Duneed is Glass Beams, the project of Indian-Australian musician Rajan Silva whose serpentine, psychedelic tinged tracks have catapulted into the collective consciousness of millions of new followers through social media, streaming and word of mouth. Expanding from solo project to a trio for their live shows, the band have seen phenomenal success selling out every show on both their debut European and North American tours — adding numerous additional dates and venue upgrades due to demand.
Tickets for The Leon Tour will go on sale Friday 4 October (11am local time). With a pre-sale starting Wednesday 2 October (9am local time). Visit Penny Drop for all ticketing links and further info.
