Due to overwhelming demand, MG Live and Frontier Touring are excited to announce second shows in Sydney and Melbourne, along with a venue upgrade in Brisbane for US pop provocateur Ashnikko on her SMOOCHIES TOUR across Australia and New Zealand this September 2026. 

Ashnikko – the genre-blending, hyper-pop, artist who recently joined Billie Eilish on her 12-date Hit Me Hard and Soft arena tour of Australia – has confirmed second shows in both cities: Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Sunday, 20 September, and Melbourne’s Forum on Tuesday, 22 September. 

The first Sydney show on Saturday, 19 September, and the first Melbourne show on Wednesday, 23 September, are now sold out. 

Further update: The Fortitude Music Hall show in Brisbane on Friday 25 September is now sold out! Due to overwhelming demand, the show will be upgraded to Riverstage on the same date. All tickets purchased for The Fortitude Music Hall will remain valid for the upgraded Riverstage show on Friday 25 September – no further action is required from existing ticket holders. 

Frontier Member presale for the new Sydney and Melbourne plus Brisbane venue upgrade shows commences Wednesday 15 Otober (10am local time) before the general on sale Friday 17 October (10am local time). Tickets and tour information via frontiertouring.com/ashnikko 

This coming Friday, 17 October sees the release of Ashnikko’s second album, Smoochies (via Warner Music Australia, pre-order here); her most personal body of work to date.  

The 15-track album is a rebellious one, made from a place of radical joy at a time when the world has never felt more threatening for femmes and marginalized communities. In response, Ashnikko is taking up space by inhabiting a state of pure play. It’s absurd and grotesque, explicit and tender, sexy without an ounce of desire to perform for the male gaze. 

The sophomore album Smoochies features the playfully defiant single ‘Sticky Fingers’; Ashnikko at her most audacious, blending playful bravado with unapologetic self-assurance and 2025’s ‘Trinkets’, ‘Itty Bitty’, ‘Smoochie Girl (Starring Starlight Kid)’ and ‘Wet Like (feat. COBRAH)’. 

Ashnikko has achieved some huge milestones for an artist just one album into their career, surpassing 3.9 Billion global streams and 700 million video views to date, with hit songs ‘Slumber party’, ‘Daisy’, ‘Paint The Town Blue’, ‘Deal With It’, ‘STUPID’ and ‘You Make Me Sick’. 

Catch the wild, candy-coated pop disruptor Ashnikko live on stage this September – a show you won’t want to miss!
