MELBOURNE, AU (July 16, 2025) – BRIT Award-winning powerhouse UK rapper Aitch has today announced his 4 Australian tour for January 2026, presented by Secret Sounds and triple j. Having last toured Australia in 2022, playing to full houses across the country and an adoring crowd at Splendour in the Grass as well as Spilt Milk in 2023, this tour will showcase his spectacular sophomore album 4 alongside nearly a decade of fan favourites.

The 4 tour will commence at Hordern Pavilion Sydney on Saturday 3 January, followed by Festival Hall Melbourne on Monday 5 January, Adelaide’s Hindley Street Music Hall on Wednesday 7 January, and concluding in Brisbane at Fortitude Music Hall on Friday 9 January.

Before the release of 4 last month, Aitch stated, “I’m in this season of reminding people why I’m here in the first place and why I’m in the position I’m in.” 4 triumphantly hit the charts in the UK - #1 in the Independent Albums Chart and #7 in the Official Albums Chart, after singles ‘A Guy Called?’ and ‘Raving In The Studio’ cracked the UK’s Official Top 30 almost instantly. Aitch began 2025 feeling primed for his fourth era, itching to get out there and make people feel something. The release of 4 has let him deliver his goal once again, and he’ll soon be gearing up to round off a huge 2025 with his live return, a one-off headline homecoming show at The Warehouse Project, Manchester.

ABOUT AITCH

Aitch’s potent foray into music almost a decade ago delivered inaugural releases like ‘Back To Basics’ (2017) and ‘Straight Rhymez’ (2018), garnering both industry and online virality.

“When I spray that skippy, man comes through militant,” he rapped all those years ago on the former. Aitch carved his industry innings as a wordsmith; it's a quality that’s etched to his ascendancy. Aitch is cognisant, however, of his atypical decade in music. Gaining notoriety across his late adolescence, he missed out on a conventional coming of age, doing so instead, in the public eye. “I've not done the normal young adult life and spent it with my friends doing certain things that they're doing, but at the end of the day, I'm grateful for everything,” he shares.

After the release of his acclaimed, number two charting debut album Close To Home, Aitch gained another national feat, becoming the first Mancunian to win Best Hip-Hop, Grime and Rap Act BRIT Award, a win he doesn’t take lightly. “It was amazing,” he shares endearingly. “I deserved to win. Everyone got a chance to vote and people showed up for me.” The win follows a debut era that immersed itself in critical success. Album singles “Baby” now a platinum record at home and in Australia, and “My G” gold across UK pastures.

Aitch then spent most of the last two years reclaiming time with friends and family. As an ambassador of the Association for Down Syndrome, he also climbed Kilimanjaro, this January, raising over £160,000 for the cause, exceeding his initial £70,000 target. “I’ll always continue to do charity work, it feels like one of those life accomplishments, something I’ll never forget,” he reflects. Dotted across his brief career recline, Aitch dropped clusters of singles, alongside D-Block Europe, Clavish, and A1 x J1; to him however, his hunger grew. “I feel like the scene’s playing it safe,” he says. Introspectively, he also felt panes from the public, ones forgetting his enormous success and undeniable talent in his rearview. “For lack of a better word, I'm absolutely on smoke,” he asserts.

On his 25th birthday in December, the fourth arc of his career, as he called it, and his adequately inscribed sophomore album 4, were conceived. “I got that itch again, I started to feel like ‘okay, yeah, let’s do this’” 4, and this juncture of Aitch’s career is marked by transparency, honesty, and ultimately letting go. “Four has always been a thing from earlier because my postcode is M40,” he begins. “This will also be my fourth body of work in my book. That's H2O, Polaris, Close to Home, and now 4. It all just makes sense, I want to give people a piece of where I really come from, a bit of me and where I’m at.” Harrison Armstrong — the man behind the Aitch moniker — displays gratitude as he articulates his reality, cognisant of the enclave of people he sits beside, able to make music for a living. “Let’s just go for it,” he exclaims candidly. He’s also grown into a hyperaware man now, fortified in his thoughts, perceptions, and decisions.

4 sees Aitch on top form, one of the only acts able to make a split decision to craft a new era in a matter of months and ensure quality control remains of highest priority. “I just wanna see people smile,” he says. “I don’t see enough of that and it genuinely makes me sad, I want to see that joy again.”
