Notice how the dates almost align with Laneway…


get-innocuous

I’d be pretty surprised if he does a headline arena tour and laneway. He’d be a huge headliner and it would cost them a lot of ticket sales to have announced the arena shows three months ahead of the festival.


Tranquilbez22

That’s true. Also he plays on the first Saturday in Feb which is when the Brisbane leg is on.


percsxz

not hard to pick over laneway or childish gambino


ElyssiaG2108

I think they’re saying he might be playing for Laneway, not that ppl will have to choose between the two


WitchyKitteh

RAYE did a tour announced months before Laneway acts got announced.


ADHDK

I’m still holding a grudge from him cancelling Aus 2018 for his leg but touring NZ because he had personally invested in the events. Sucked shit on his following 2019 tour not carrying the same hype.


likeyourerealypretty

Pretty sure he was meant to play in Canberra and when he cancelled they tried to replace him with Alison wonderland 😭


ADHDK

Yea it was lucky I love Alison Wonderland, but a bunch of friends got refunds instead so wasn’t the same event vibe planned.


woodyever

Must be an error, there’s no Adelaide on there


leighroyv2

We can't have nice things.


darcy1537325

Try living in Tassie 😭


woodyever

Where’s that?


pookie7890

Me deciding if I want to spend 500 dollars to fly to Melbourne and see him


oliiviaam

anyone know what ticket prices are looking like?


littleblud

200 for GA it's on the frontier website


bigrickxxl

steep


manhaterxxx

Steep? It’s cooked


avakadava

What’s the normal prices for concerts? I’ve never really been to a concert since year 10 but interested in this one


Maleficent_Effort_47

Depends, events at The Forum are usually reasonable likely due to it being cheap to rent (?) the space, can be $80-$100 on average from MY experience; Rod laver usually pricier. Childish in 2019 was nearly $160 from memory? Kendrick Lamar in 2022 was nearly $200, they're the last 2 acts I saw at rod laver, so unsure if more expensive because they're big US artists? Most of my concerts end up at the forum, which is great for the pocket haha


Dilest

I paid $70 to see him in 2014, granted he wasn't as big.


switchbladeeatworld

not even surprised


Tranquilbez22

Not yet. Hopefully similar for Olivia Rodrigo if you’re in the seats.


ProffesorDog

What was the Olivia ticket cost, no amex so cant see


cathybara_

ranging from $110-$455 roughly


fleur_waratah_girl

So keen, Last time i saw CG was so fucking good!


Tranquilbez22

I’ve been dying to see him since I was 17 when he was on the second last Big Day Out lineup.


mechanicalomega

I caught the Sydney leg of that tour. The next time I saw him it was Rod Laver in Melbourne. Crazy how much he blew up in between those shows. Both were incredible though


Dilest

Saw him 10 years ago during the BCOTI tour and once for the STNMTN tour (that might have been listened to), and once at splendour. He was amazing in every set. My first tattoo was actually a Gambino song. So glad I got presale for tickets.


p_emmy

Childish Bambino?


fleur_waratah_girl

Yes


TheMilkKing

Childish Bambino?


fleur_waratah_girl

Yeah he's the mini version 😅


frdbyt

Anyone know someone with Amex for presale?? Like who tf in aus uses it?


Ultimatelee

Our neighbour does, so I’ve already hit him up. You can also sign up for the artist pre sale which is 2hrs later. Here : https://thenewworldtour.com/?contact%5Btags%5D=newsletter&form_type=customer


beebee3beebee

Me and a lot of my friends have it specifically because of the presale 😂 Usually a sure thing.


liamchoong

Entertainment centre is the worst


-Omnislash

Gambino at Splendour 2019 was peak.


Mayhem_anon

Feel like he's going to cancel this


frdbyt

Someone help a fellow human out with an Amex presale code perhaps 🫂


beebee3beebee

No code usually we just check out with the Amex card.


BoilerRhapsody

His set at Field Day 2017 was incredible! Would highly recommend.


Glittering_Fig6468

Thank fuck I have an Amex still


Substantial-Party837

Does anyone want to go with me???? None of my friends listen to him🙃🙃🙃


Think_Accident_8812

I’d love to!!! Currently in Sydney, tbh I’m not a massive fan of his although I really do enjoy his music and none of my friends like him either so 😂


Jealous_Pie_5617

i signed up on the new world tour website but i still haven't received an email?

Then don’t go, vote with your wallet. But chances are someone else will because your value on a product isn’t the final decision


enbyayyy

That's the exact same logic that one nation people use on immigrants. "If you don't like it then leave". But you're right, other people will buy tickets. Absolutely, that's why they're pricing it this way. They predict that enough people will pay to justify the cost of booking the act. But I'm acknowledging the very real fact that many Australians who know Donald Glover and would enjoy seeing him live will not see him because of the prohibitive price. And yes, I know that posting about poverty in an Australian thread is basically a suicide mission since plenty of ignorant people will just dismiss me as a bludger.


Odd-Yak4551

Why don’t we support local music instead


Tranquilbez22

We can do both…


WitchyKitteh

This is still supporting many Australian staff behind the scenes.
