Rapper The Kid Laroi has announced his first Australian stadium tour, named for his album The First Time.

The tour will start in Melbourne before travelling to Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and the Gold Coast.

“I’m so excited to be coming back home in February!" the 20-year-old musician said.

"I felt so much love from the fans on last year’s tour – it’s something I’ll never forget. 

"I can’t wait for you to all see this new show – we’ve taken things to a whole new level. I love you and I’ll see you all really soon.”

Born in Sydney and also known as Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, his much-anticipated studio album was released last week.

It features guest appearances from Jungkook and Central Cee on the single Too Much, with Baby Drill and Future on What’s the Move? and Robert Glasper and YoungBoy Never on Call Me Instead.

The album follows his 2020 debut mixtape titled F*ck Love which went to number one in Australia and several other countries.

Kid Laroi's hit collaboration with Justin Bieber, Stay, won him an ARIA in 2022, one of three gongs that year.
