Hilary Duff’s Shocking 2026 Announcement: Australia Gets First Arena Tour in 20 Years

Hilary Duff is officially returning to the global stage with her Lucky Me Tour, marking her first full-scale world tour in nearly two decades. The pop star, who defined the early 2000s with Lizzie McGuire and chart-topping hits, will perform across Australia this October, bringing a mix of nostalgia and fresh new music to fans.

A Pop Icon’s Full-Circle Moment

Duff’s career has spanned acting, fashion, and music, but her return to touring signals a powerful new chapter. Her sixth studio album, luck… or something, releases February 20, and serves as the centerpiece of this tour. It’s her first full-length project since 2015’s Breathe In. Breathe Out., which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. The new record has already generated buzz. Singles like Roommates and Mature showcase Duff’s evolution into a confident, modern pop sound while retaining her signature charm. Roommates is climbing radio charts, while Mature earned millions of streams in its debut week, proving her relevance in today’s pop landscape.

Australian Tour Dates

Fans across Australia will get the chance to see Duff live at four major arenas:

• Oct 22 — Brisbane Entertainment Centre
• Oct 24 — Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney
• Oct 26 — Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne
• Oct 29 — RAC Arena, Perth

Joining her as a special guest is GRAMMY-winning electro-pop artist La Roux, known for hits like Bulletproof. Together, they promise a dynamic night of music and energy.

Fan Anticipation & Sold-Out Shows

Duff’s comeback has already sparked massive fan excitement. Her intimate Small Rooms, Big Nerves shows sold out instantly, offering audiences a rare preview of her new material. A Las Vegas residency followed, also selling out, cementing the “Duff renaissance” as one of pop’s most talked-about returns. This tour isn’t just a nostalgia trip—it’s a celebration of Duff’s artistry and resilience. From her early success with Metamorphosis to her new era of songwriting, the Lucky Me Tour represents a full-circle moment for the star.
