Saweetie Announces ‘Boffum’ Ahead of Australian Tour

Saweetie is about to make her long-awaited debut on Australian stages, with a new single set to drop just days before the ICY Queen brings her chart-topping hits down under.

The rapper announced this week that “Boffum” will arrive on July 18, coinciding with her first-ever Australian headline run, which kicks off in Perth on July 30. She also shared a teaser of the track via Instagram on Friday (July 11).

The Australian tour marks another major career milestone for the Bay Area-born artist, who has spent the past year performing on some of the world’s biggest stages. Saweetie headlined high-profile festivals across the U.S., including Rolling Loud and Coachella, where she delivered a set packed with fan favorites and surprise collaborations.

Saweetie’s popularity in Australia has been proven over the years, with singles such as 2020’s “Tap In” and 2021’s “Best Friend” both hitting the top 40, while 2019’s “My Type” reached the top ten of the Australian Hitseekers chart. In late 2024, she also dropped “NANi,” which peaked on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay.

Joining Saweetie on the road is rising Australian star Amarni, who was tapped as the official support act for the tour. Hailing from Melbourne, Amarni has been gaining attention with her unapologetic sound and genre-blurring tracks. Her latest single “Hu$tler” arrived earlier this month and has already made waves on streaming platforms, showcasing the bold energy she’ll bring to the stage as she opens for Saweetie’s four Australian dates.

The tour, presented by Primuse Entertainment and Capital Touring, includes stops at Perth’s Metro City, Brisbane’s Eatons Hill Hotel, Melbourne’s The Timber Yard and Sydney’s Roundhouse. Limited tickets remain via primuse.com.au.

Saweetie’s Australian run comes as she continues working on her long-anticipated debut album, which is expected to drop later this year.  “Yeah, it’s coming this year,” she told Billboard in February. “I feel like it will really encompass who I’ve grown into over these past couple of years. Lots of stories to tell.”
