Matt Maltese will return to Australia and New Zealand in March 2026 for a highly anticipated tour, following the release of his sixth studio album, Hers, his most intimate and self-produced record to date. The album combines heartfelt songwriting and subtle humour with delicate strings, woodwind flourishes, and the resonant tones of a creaking piano, capturing Maltese at his most personal.

Audiences can expect an enchanting live experience, featuring new material from Hers alongside favourites from his six-album catalogue, delivered in a poetic, wry, and unflinchingly human performance. The tour will visit Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Auckland, and Wellington, offering fans the opportunity to experience Maltese at the height of his artistic maturity.
