Hawaiian-born independent rising star Maoli returns to Australia in 2026.
An artist crafting a unique mix of island reggae and country-soul tones, Maoli returns after a sold-out tour this past January, with next year's dates including concerts in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
"AUSTRALIA! 🇦🇺 I'm bringing the Island Vibe tour your way this March. Can't wait to see you all there!"
Earlier this year, Maoli released his most recent album (and ninth overall) 'Last Sip Of Summer' that features the fan favourites 'Broke Heart Break', 'Yours Truly' and the title track.
In October, Maoli released an Island Vibe edition of 'Last Sip Of Summer', which doubles as the name of this upcoming tour.
"To all my fans who've been following me forever and to the ones who just started," Maoli recently posted, "I love and appreciate you all from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to listen to this small town island country boy🙏🏽.
"Being an independent artist in this business is not easy, but because of you guys some of us are blessed and fortunate to see that light at the end of the tunnel 🙏🏽❤️. Here's to many more years of music and memories to create with each other 🥂."
Inspired by traditional Hawaiian music, plus rock, reggae, and country music artists like Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, and George Strait, Maoli's early island pop and roots-reggae sound helped spread his rangy, sand-and-soul vocal across Polynesia to the American West Coast, and as far east as Texas.
It was there in 2018 that the singer-songwriter rediscovered his country roots, turned on to the similarities between his music and modern country – from the swaying melodies and solid rhythms to the tradition of simple-life storytelling.
Tickets on sale from 12pm (local time) on 19 December.
