Burna Boy Announces Australian Arena Tour For October 2025

Yahoo17-07-2025
Burna Boy is coming back down under for his biggest ever headline shows on our shores.
Hot on the heels of dropping his eighth studio album No Sign Of Weakness, the GRAMMY-winning Afrofusion king is heading to Australia this October for a string of massive headline shows across the country.
Burna Boy – 'Change Your Mind' Ft. Shaboozey
The No Sign Of Weakness Australia Tour strtches across four huge nights, kicking off on Thursday, 16th October at Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl, before hitting Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Brisbane Entertainment Centre, and wrapping things up at Perth's RAC Arena on Friday, 24th October.
Known for his electric stage presence, genre-melding sound, and sold-out arena takeovers across the globe, Burna Boy's Aussie return follows a history-making run — he's the first Nigerian artist to ever headline Red Rocks Amphitheatre in the US (yep, the same place U2 and Radiohead have torn up), and the first African artist with two albums to rack up over a billion streams on Spotify.
His new record No Sign Of Weakness is also a straight-up flex — featuring collabs with Travis Scott ('TaTaTa') and Shaboozey ('Change Your Mind), plus reggae-tinged hit 'Sweet Love', the euphoric 'Bundle By Bundle', and chant-along anthem 'Update'.
With 11 GRAMMY nominations, four BET Award wins, and a 2023 Billboard trophy for Top Afrobeats Artist, Burna Boy has become the global ambassador for African music, shattering records and stereotypes with every release. His sound blends Afrobeats with pop, hip-hop, R&B, reggae and everything in between.

McDonald's Happy Meal toys worth $500: ‘Sitting on a gold mine'

McDonald's Happy Meal toys have skyrocketed in popularity among collectors, and some could be worth hundreds of dollars if you are lucky enough to still have them. For many, Happy Meal toys were often more exciting than the meal itself, and it's that mix of childhood nostalgia that is helping drive this current trend. New data from eBay found there has been a staggering 56 per cent jump in sales for Happy Meal items since the start of the year. The value of the items are often tied to fan-favourite collaborations like Minecraft, Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokémon. eBay Australia's Zannie Abbott told Yahoo Finance the platform was seeing a strong demand for the collectables.

There Is No Concert Like Bad Bunny's Puerto Rico Residency

If Bad Bunny were your standard artist, he could have — and probably would have — orchestrated the kind of tour that guarantees superstardom and an ever-growing fanbase, filling up stadiums across the U.S. and the rest of the globe to rake in more attention and money. But precisely what's made him one of the most beloved and compelling figures in music in recent years is that he's never treated himself like the bottom line — instead, the goal for him has always been to show the world a little bit of Puerto Rico. This is part of the impulse behind 'No Me Quiero Ir De Aqui,' his 30-date residency in Puerto Rico's famed 18,500-person arena El Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot. The idea is not just intriguing from an artistic point of view, but genuinely poignant: Not only is it a celebration of home and roots and tradition, it's an invitation for fans outside of Puerto Rico to truly immerse themselves in the place he comes from. But on top of all of that, the residency is also a muscular three-hour, 30-song marathon, intensely high on spectacle and production, that functions as a full-voiced love letter to his country and his fellow Puerto Ricans. More from Rolling Stone 'Happy Gilmore 2': Hooray! Adam Sandler's Brawling Golf Bro Is Back Bad Bunny, Travis Scott, Saweetie, and All the Songs You Need to Know This Week Bad Bunny's Puerto Rico Residency Instantly Sold Out - Here's Where to Find 2025 Tickets Online That love and pride is reciprocal: In San Juan, a day before his show this Friday, bars and cars blasted his music on repeat. Giant murals with his face have gone up in the city; a few others feature Concho, the delightful toad character that's become a staple in videos and promo from his latest album DeBÍ TiRAR MÁS FOTOS, which the show is crafted around. Fans flooded the area outside of El Coliseo, which has turned into a mini-festival block, with food stands and pop-ups, touting flags and jibaro hats before rushing into the arena for the prompt 9 p.m. start time — no one wanted to miss a second of what Benito was about to put out there. Right on time, the lights went out, revealing the decadent stage, designed to look the untouched, undeveloped version of the island's oceans and mountains. Two dancers appeared onstage to talk about the history of Puerto Rico before the percussion of 'ALAMBRE PúA' boomed in. Bad Bunny debuted the song at the first show in the residency earlier this month, and on a Puerto Rican bomba rhythm that's allowed for traditional dancers to take the stage. From there, he bounced between songs from DeBÍ TiRAR MÁS FOTOS, like 'KETU TeCRÉ' and the Christmas cut 'PIToRRO DE COCO.' In between, little video snippets showed Concho the toad talking to Puerto Rican actor and filmmaker Jacobo Morales; both of them have been part of the album's storyline, with Morales playing an old man who has left home for a freezing cold, ice-filled new land and is constantly nostalgic for home. One of the best transitions of the night happens when Concho and Morales are reminiscing about the beaches in Puerto Rico, paving the way for the Puerto Rico band and guests Chuwi to lead the beach-loving chorus of the song 'Welita.' The traditional band Los Pleneros de la Cresta ends the section, giving the audience tons of plena. Also stunning is the range of the show: At one point, Bad Bunny pops up across the arena at a little pink house, known throughout the show as La Casita, and goes into raging house party mode, performing OG classics from his repertoire (like 'Bichiyal' and 'No Me Conoce', plus some of the most charged tracks off DeBÍ TiRAR MÁS FOTOS. Here, the crowd absolutely lost it when Young Miko came out of La Casita for 'Fina.' Following that segment, Bad Bunny remerged on the mainstage, this time with a full salsa band for a sped-up version of 'Callaíta,' and then his chart-topping salsa opus 'BAILE INoLVIDABLE.' For one of the verses, salsa legend Gilberto Santa Rosa came out, sending the audience into absolute chaos. At 62, the salsa bandleader sounded sharp as ever, leaving fans with a rendition of 'La Agarro Bajando' that left everyone screaming for an encore. Throughout the show, Bad Bunny reminded Puerto Ricans that so much of the magic of these shows comes directly from them (the first nine performances, save for some media invites, have been designed specifically for residents-only.) As the residency opens up to more tourists in later weeks, it's clear that the specific alchemy of Puerto Rico's spirit is going to be what creates once-in-a-lifetime experiences for attendees. The performance, yes, is undeniably powerful, but it's all mixed in with the energy and intimacy of being on the island and seeing so much of the experience behind the music firsthand. As the final thrum of 'LA MuDANZA' piped into close the show, Bad Bunny reminded Puerto Ricans that this was possible because of them, and he's done this all for them. Parting words came from bandleader and percussionist Julito Gastón as he exited the stage: 'Nunca paren de tocar su tambor.' 'Never stop beating your own drum.'
