South Korean sibling duo AKMU make their first-ever live debut in Australia, with a special performance in Melbourne this September.
Renowned for their exceptional songwriting, emotional depth, and imaginative musicality, AKMU are often described as an act where “the artist itself becomes a genre.” Rather than fitting into boundaries, they redefine them — continuously expanding their own unique musical universe.
This Australian tour represents more than just a series of concerts; it is a meaningful first encounter with local audiences and a new chapter in AKMU’s global journey.
Audiences can look forward to a carefully curated setlist spanning beloved classics and recent releases.
