Ziggy Alberts

June 19, 2025 by dfavata

After three massive years of non-stop touring across Europe, the UK, North America, South America, Asia and regional Australia, Ziggy Alberts is ready to come home.

This November, he brings his extraordinary global journey full circle with The Homecoming Tour – including an all-ages show in Melbourne that marks the culmination of an incredible chapter.

Following the release of his acclaimed seventh studio album New Love and a sold-out performance at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall, Ziggy returns to celebrate with the Australian community that’s supported him from day one. These aren’t just concerts – they’re a homecoming for an artist who has independently achieved what many only dream of, now sharing that success with the people who made it possible.

The tour also represents another significant career milestone for Ziggy: his first-ever arena show in Melbourne, marking his evolution from busking the streets of Byron Bay to commanding some of Australia’s biggest stages. With over one billion streams worldwide, three APRA Awards for Most Performed Blues & Roots Work, and his first gold certification in Canada for “Runaway,” Ziggy has proven that authentic, independent artistry can can reach audiences across the world.

True to Ziggy’s values, The Homecoming Tour will champion sustainability through our Green Touring Initiative – focusing on reducing environmental impact, educating fans on local causes, and giving back to the communities that host these special shows. Join Ziggy Alberts this November for The Homecoming Tour – where three years of global adventure meet the warmth of coming home.
