With over 1.3 billion global streams, multiple ARIA Platinum and Gold certifications, and three APRA Awards for Most Performed Blues & Roots Work, Ziggy has quietly built one of the most successful independent music careers in Australia.

His breakout hit ‘Runaway’ has surpassed 118 million Spotify streams, is 3× Platinum in Australia, 1x Platinum in New Zealand and Gold in Canada, and continues to resonate a decade on. Songs like ‘Love Me Now’, ‘Laps Around the Sun’ (3× Platinum), and ‘Gone’ (2× Platinum) have anchored his rise from street busker to global touring artist.

His touring footprint spans Europe, the UK, North America, South America, and Southeast Asia. Recent tours saw 3,500+ cap sell-outs in Germany, debut performances in Brazil and Mexico, and a six-month advance sell-out at Royal Albert Hall – proving his grassroots global appeal remains as strong as ever.

His upcoming Homecoming tour will see Ziggy hitting some of the biggest stages of his career in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne later next month, including his first ever arena show at Margaret Court Arena. The tour will be entirely all ages, and will promote Ziggy’s commitment to the Green Touring Initiative – an initiative founded by Ziggy, that focuses on reducing environmental impact, educating fans on local causes, and giving back to the communities that host these special shows. Ziggy will be joined by South African singer-songwriter Jeremy Loops on all dates, with Sydney’s The Beautiful Girls jumping on the Brisbane and Melbourne legs, & Azure Ryder opening up the show in Sydney.

“I’m beyond stoked to return to Australia after all this time, and to be joining Ziggy for these homecoming shows means a lot.

When we met in South Africa it was like meeting a kindred spirit – same passion for acoustic music, the ocean, and simple truth. I can’t wait to share those moments with new ears down under.”
JEREMY LOOPS

Cyclones doesn’t just close out a record year – it’s a signal of what’s to come: bolder production, deeper songwriting, and the same uncompromising independence that’s powered Ziggy Alberts’ journey from busking street corners to the world stage.
