\n\tNessa Barrett<\/a> is set to return to Australia in December for her biggest headline shows to date, building on a breakout global run that\u2019s seen her grow from rising star to certified pop contender.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Aftercare<\/em> artist will perform three major headline dates, starting Dec. 9 at Melbourne\u2019s Margaret Court Arena, followed by Sydney\u2019s Hordern Pavilion on Dec. 10 and Brisbane\u2019s Fortitude Music Hall on Dec. 16. The run complements her previously announced appearances at all four dates of the 2025 Spilt Milk Festival, where she joins a lineup that includes Kendrick Lamar, Doechii, Dominic Fike, Sombr<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n \n\tThe new shows follow Barrett\u2019s sold-out Australian debut in 2023 on her Church Club for the Lonely Tour<\/em>, which formed part of her first global tour. That trek spanned 60 dates and saw the singer perform to over 83,000 fans across North America, Europe, and Australasia, as well as appearances at major festivals such as ACL Main Stage, Reading & Leeds, and Pukkelpop.<\/p>\n \n\tBarrett\u2019s second studio album Aftercare<\/em>, released in late 2024, introduced a more refined electro-pop direction while retaining the confessional songwriting that built her initial fanbase. The record includes singles \u201cPASSENGER PRINCESS\u201d and \u201cMUSTANG BABY,\u201d a collaboration with breakout U.K. artist Artemas.<\/p>\n \n\tWith more than 2 billion global streams, Barrett has quickly carved out her space in a new class of Gen Z artists balancing streaming success with live impact. Her debut album Young Forever<\/em> helped solidify her early buzz and featured viral singles like \u201ci hope ur miserable until ur dead\u201d and \u201cla di die\u201d with jxdn and Travis Barker.<\/p>\n \n\tBarrett was named to Billboard<\/em>\u2019s 21 Under 21 list in 2024, earned a slot on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Emerging Artists chart and made her debut on the Billboard<\/em> 200 with Young Forever<\/em> in 2022.<\/p>\n
