NAETHAN APOLLO (USA) | AUSTRALIA 2027

About

Following a near sold-out debut Australian run earlier this year, genre-fusing storytelling phenomenon Naethan Apollo (USA) today announces he will return for a nationwide tour in 2027. The five-date run will see Naethan enchant audiences in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane next May.

Naethan Apollo has built a massive global following through his unique fusion of folk, rap, pop, and spoken-word storytelling - think Dungeons & Dragons meets Hobo Johnson - amassing an audience of over 1.4 million TikTok followers, and over 200 million streams. His versatility as an artist sees him develop elaborate fantasy worlds with unique lore and complex characters, most recently depicted in his 2025 album Tales From Cazilor: Wyldflowers, through to passionate social justice anthems like SAME OLD STORY and ICE BREAKER, which take aim at the current sociopolitical landscape in the USA.

Raised in a rural town called Solon, Iowa, and later shaped by basement shows while attending Iowa State for graphic design, Naethan Apollo creates a sort of DIY mytho-music where everything is canon and the songs serve a bigger-picture narrative arc. On stage, Naethan translates his DIY, community-first ethos into intimate, theatrical and highly interactive performances driven by strong crowd engagement and narrative immersion.

With a brand new record WHAT IF I EXPLODED released last week, Australian fans can expect to enjoy new material on Naethan Apollo’s second visit downunder.
