Yoasobi Super Planet Asia-Oceania tour Melbourne Sydney 2026, Digi Mart USA News (Melbourne, Australia): Composer Ayase and vocalist ikura, who make up Yoasobi, will play Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on March 17, then head to Sydney’s Afterpay Arena, the venue formerly known as Qudos Bank Arena, on March 19. Both shows belong to Super Planet, an 11-city Asia-Oceania tour that also stops at Hong Kong’s AsiaWorld-Arena for two nights in January.

Much of the run is in domes and stadiums, including Singapore’s National Stadium on February 20. The duo formed in 2019 to turn other people’s writing into pop songs, and their debut, Into the Night (Yoru ni Kakeru), adapted a story by Mayo Hoshino.

The song topped Billboard Japan’s year-end song and streaming charts for 2020 and has since passed 1.2 billion streams.

A year later, Spotify ranked Yoasobi as the Japanese act most played by listeners overseas. Idol, the 2023 opening theme for the anime series Oshi no Ko, held the top spot on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 for 22 weeks running and finished the year as that chart’s biggest song.

No single had reached 100 million streams on the chart faster, and it also reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Global Excl US chart.

The duo has also written for Pokémon. Biri-Biri marked a year of Scarlet and Violet, and the games handed out a Pawmot with Yoasobi listed as its original trainer.

Non-Japanese speakers can access the duo’s music through its E-Side EPs, which carry English versions of its hits, and the fourth arrived in April.

Yoasobi’s North American tour in July and August drew more than 70,000 people across six shows. The duo became the first J-pop act to play Montreal’s Osheaga and the first to sell out Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

No J-pop act had played the Hollywood Bowl until they closed the run there, and two years earlier they had performed at Coachella and New York’s Radio City Music Hall.

In June 2025 the duo played two nights at London’s OVO Arena Wembley. Back home, a 2023 TikTok livestream had more than 120,000 people watching at once, the platform’s high-water mark for a Japanese act.

An artist presale runs from noon to 10pm local time on November 12, ahead of general tickets at noon on November 13. The Melbourne show falls a year to the night after Babymetal played John Cain Arena, a short walk across Melbourne Park.
