Six-time ARIA Award winner and proud Yol?u artist Baker Boy today announces his long-awaited return to the national stage, with a run of headline tour dates in April and May 2026, presented by Lunatic Entertainment, Select Music, and triple j.
The tour follows the announcement of DJANDJAY, Baker Boy’s fearless and emotionally expansive second album, out October 10 via Island Records Australia. If Gela introduced a bright new voice in Australian music, DJANDJAY signals a creative leap - thematically deeper, sonically broader, and unflinchingly personal. Named in honour of both his late grandmother and the Yolŋu spirit guide she shares a name with, the album marks a turning point for Baker Boy as he steps further into his identity, his power, and his global vision.
Across these dates, Baker Boy will showcase material from DJANDJAY, a record shaped by spiritual legacy and personal transformation. Blending ancestral influences with sharp-edged global production, the album folds in Yolŋu Matha, English, and Burarra across a dynamic soundscape that spans hip-hop, punk, gospel, and electronic textures. Singles like ‘PEACEKEEPER’, ‘FREAK OUT’ (feat. Briggs and Haiku Hands), and ‘THICK SKIN’ (feat. Thelma Plum, Emma Donovan, Kee’ahn & Jada Weazel) speak directly to the album’s core: resilience, reclamation, and refusing to be boxed in.
With stops in Mulubinba/Newcastle, Warrane/Sydney, Meanjin/Brisbane, Cullunghutti/Coolangatta, Koornoo/Barwon Heads, Naarm/Melbourne, Gulumoerrgin/Darwin, and Mparntwe/Alice Springs, the DJANDJAY tour promises the full scale of Baker Boy’s vision, featuring a brand new show, created especially for this tour. It’s a fresh production designed to give fans something they haven’t experienced from a Baker Boy show before. He’ll also appear at Perth Festival and WOMADelaide 2026, with more to be announced.
Where Gela introduced the artist, DJANDJAY reveals the man: more grounded, more defiant, and more ready than ever.
