It has been a decade in the making, but the wait is finally over. This June, the hyper-charged energy of Ryan Oakes will officially land in Australia for a nationwide tour that promises to be as explosive as his discography. From the suburbs of Virginia to the creative hub of Los Angeles, the multi-hyphenate artist is ready to trade the West Coast for the East Coast (and everywhere in between) to give his "down under" devotees the show they’ve been craving.
For Oakes, this isn't just another run of dates; it’s a long-overdue homecoming of sorts. Australia has consistently ranked among his most fervent fanbases, and this tour offers a rare chance to bridge the digital gap. Since his DIY beginnings, Oakes has cultivated a signature sound—a seamless, high-octane fusion of hip-hop grit and alternative rock anthems. It’s a formula that has resonated deeply with a global community, propelling him to over 47 million streams and counting.
The tour arrives on the heels of his 2025 studio masterpiece, 'OPUS'. The album serves as a definitive statement of intent, showcasing the fiery ambition and boundary-pushing DNA that defines his career. Whether he’s trading bars with MOD SUN, collaborating with State Champs, or leaning into the dark intensity of Hollywood Undead, Oakes has proven himself as one of the most versatile forces in the independent scene.
In a move that highlights his unwavering commitment to his fans, Oakes has announced that every single stop on the tour will include free meet and greets. Reflecting on the upcoming journey, Ryan shared his excitement:
“Australia has been some of my biggest supporters for years now and a tour has been long overdue. We are going to make sure this is a truly special experience for everybody by including free meet and greets at every single show. At the end of my set I’m going to head to the merch booth and shake as many hands and take as many pictures as I can. This is a one-time thing to show the fans how much I truly appreciate them holding me down 'down undah' for so many years. Can’t wait to finally meet everyone and give them a show that makes up for the ten-year wait!”
Get ready, Australia, because the 'OPUS' era is arriving, and it's going to be loud. For more updates on the tour, you can follow Ryan Oakes today on Instagram, Facebook, X, and TikTok.
