A solidified hitmaker in the hip-hop landscape, Aminé has bounced from strength to strength in the past twelve months. Earlier this year he released his third solo album 13 Months of Sunshine, a body of work that doubles as a soulful exploration of his Ethiopian heritage, identity and introspection, which earned acclaim from the likes of Dazed, NPR, Hypebeast, Clash and hailed as a “reminder of the strengths that separate Aminé from the rest of the pack” by Pitchfork.
On 13 Months of Sunshine, Aminé reevaluates what he wanted to say on his songs. He celebrates his success and mourns family members and friends gone from this world. Every line on the 16-song album passes the “small reading room test” from the Waxahatchee-featuring indie pop beauty of ‘History‘ to the psych-synth invocation of Toro y Moi-assisted album closer ‘Images‘. On 13 Months of Sunshine, Aminé presents his most exacting vision to date, full of flowers both fully bloomed and on their last legs. It may not always be sunny, he seems to say, but plants need water from stormy days, too.
13 Months of Sunshine followed on from his 2023 collaborative venture with Kaytranada titled KAYTRAMINÉ, a mixtape which showcased the pair’s innate chemistry and musical bond through danceable pop-rap and hip-house tracks including ‘4EVA’ with Pharell Williams and ‘Rebuke’, with both exploring a new territory in a way that hadn’t been previously embraced in their longtime friendship.
Touching down in January 2026 and following a huge run of over 43 shows across the US, UK and EU, the Australian leg of Aminé’s Tour de Dance tour marks his first run of Australian dates in three years and fourth time touring the country in his extensive career. Bringing his energetic stage presence to venues in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth, see all dates and ticket info below.
