Ruel To Perform On The Steps At Sydney Opera House For Special Hometown Show This December

TUESDAY 9 SEPTEMBER 2025: Australia's pop prodigy Ruel today announces a special hometown show at one of the world's most spectacular outdoor venues, On The Steps at Sydney Opera House on Tuesday December 9. 

After becoming the youngest artist to sell out the Sydney Opera House's Concert Hall, twice, in 2019, the show is a triumphant return to the venue, with Ruel now conquering the venue's outdoor Forecourt off the back of announcing his sophomore album, Kicking My Feet.

General public tickets on sale Friday, 12 September at 10am local.

Mastercard cardholders have special access to presale tickets to the Sydney Opera House Forecourt show. Mastercard presale starts Wednesday, 10 September at 10am local, and concludes at Friday, 12 September at 9am local. Check out priceless.com/music for details. 

A Live Nation pre-sale will commence Thursday 11 September at 10am local, concluding Friday, 12 September at 9am local. For tickets and information, head to livenation.com.au. 

Ruel is growing up, and it shows on his highly anticipated sophomore album Kicking My Feet. Pop's newest It Boy has been on the rise since he was a teenager, adorning his studio walls with an ever-growing collection of platinum plaques and award statues from the likes of RIAA, MTV, ARIA, and Nickelodeon. 

He has amassed over three billion streams, sold out multiple world tours, and regularly attends fashion shows at the invitation of luxury haute couture such as Louis Vuitton and Hermès. Away from the runway, Ruel's admiration for unique, highly conceptualised style can be seen in his editorials with Prada and Fendi, and through his extensive list of features on the pages of Vogue, GQ, and The Face. 

Kicking My Feet showcases the 22-year-old's sharpened songwriting as he explores the innocence and embarassment of being young and in love, as the album title teases. Alongside frequent collaborator M-Phazes, the album as Ruel expanding his roster of creative partners, including Dan Wilson, Joel Little, Kenny Beats, and Julian Bunetta. The experimentation with his sound and artistry has Ruel evolving himself into a bolder musician on an unmissable trajectory.
