When Sombr returns to Australia and New Zealand next year, he’ll play the biggest arenas in both markets.

The U.S. pop phenom will visit five cities on the domestic leg of his You Are The Reason Tour, all of them locked away for April 2027.

Frontier Touring is producing the trek, which gets underway April 13 at Adelaide’s ​AEC Arena, followed by Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena (April 15), ​Brisbane Entertainment Centre (April 19), Sydney’s ​Afterpay Arena (April 22) and coming to a halt April 27 at Auckland’s ​Spark Arena.

Sombr was last in these parts in December 2025 when he played a sold-out run of theaters and impressed at the 2025 edition of Spilt Milk festival.

Now aged 21, Sombr’s debut album I Barely Know Her opened at No. 6 on the ARIA Chart in August 2025, and almost immediately climbed into the top 5. Also last year, the New Yorker bagged three top 20 on Australia’s national singles chart: “Undressed” (which peaked at No. 2), “Back To Friends” (No. 3) and “12 To 12” (No. 6). His 2026 release “Homewrecker” went to No. 6.

Sombr has been hot stuff in his homeland, too. Last year, he confirmed his status has one to watch thanks to his breakout singles “Undressed” and “Back to Friends,” which launched him to the top of the Hot 100 Songwriters ranking for a month-long stretch. His debut album I Barely Know Her peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 last September, and “Homewrecker” and 2026 release “Potential” both charted on the Billboard Hot 100.

Tickets for the ANZ tour go on sale from 12pm local time on Tuesday, Sept. 8. For tickets and tour information visit frontiertouring.com/sombr.

Dolly Parton’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will be replaced after it was targeted by vandals just a week after her death, aged 80.

Images and videos shared on social media show that Parton’s name on the plaque has been obscured by multiple dark scratches. The damage doesn’t appear to be random.

Ana Martinez, a spokesperson for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, tells TMZ that repairs were already scheduled due to previous cracks found in Parton’s award.

The Hollywood Historic Trust, which grants and maintains the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, wrote on Instagram that it is “proud to honor the legacy of Dolly Parton with a replacement of her star.” The new landmark will be available for viewing this Friday.

The queen of country first received a star during a ceremony June 14, 1984, a dual presentation with actor Sylvester Stallone while they promoted their feature film Rhinestone. It is this award, which bears a record icon, which was damaged and has since been removed.

She received a second star in 2018 alongside Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt for their work together in the informal supergroup, Trio.

Parton’s death on Aug. 25 was met with a global wave of tributes, from fans to fellow artists and even world leaders. The country music superstar’s catalogue experienced a 1,143% gain in official on-demand streams in the United States week over week following her Aug. 25 death, according to Luminate.

As fans remembered Parton by turning to her music, a swag of her classic songs returned to Billboard’s charts. Her classic “Jolene” returned to the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 16. That’s easily a new high for the single, which originally reached No. 60 in 1974.

Also crashing the Hot 100 is “9 to 5” (No. 16), Parton’s Kenny Rogers duet “Islands in the Stream” (No. 26) and “Here You Come Again,” while “I Will Always Love You” blasts to No. 1 on Digital Song Sales, and Ultimate Dolly Parton returns to the Billboard 200 at No. 5.
