Sonny Fodera Brings 'Can We Do It All Again?' Home to Australia

Sonny Fodera is bringing his most ambitious project yet back to where it all began. The Melbourne-born, Manchester-based producer and DJ is set to touch down across Australia this month in support of Can We Do It All Again?, his sweeping 18-track debut album that dropped on June 12, 2026.

The album has already made waves far beyond his home country. With 1.4 billion Spotify streams accumulated across his catalogue and a new entry at number 80 in this year's DJ Mag Top 100, Fodera is operating at a level few dance music artists reach. He headlined Manchester's Co-op Live arena to over 20,000 fans earlier this year — a milestone that underscored just how far he has come since his early days crafting deep, melodic house tracks for underground audiences.

An Album Built for the Dance Floor and the Emotions

Can We Do It All Again? is a record that refuses to sit neatly in one box. Across its 18 tracks, Fodera brings in an impressive roster of collaborators, including MK, jazzy, D.O.D, Clementine Douglas, and HAYLA. The result is something that moves between sun-drenched melodic house, deep-cut dancefloor energy, and moments of genuine emotional weight — the kind of music that feels equally at home in a club at 3am and in headphones on a long flight home.

It is that emotional resonance that makes the album's Australian chapter feel particularly meaningful. For an artist who built his reputation overseas but never forgot where he started, returning to play these songs live in Australia closes a loop that has been years in the making.

The 2026 Australian Tour Dates

The Australian leg of the tour kicked off in Brisbane on October 15, followed by Melbourne on October 16 and Perth on October 17. The run concludes with a headline Sydney show on October 24 — the most anticipated date of the series and the one most fans have been counting down toward.

Sydney in particular carries weight for Fodera. His connection to Australia's club scene runs deep, and a headline Sydney show at this point in his career feels like a genuine homecoming rather than a routine tour date. Expect a set that draws from across Can We Do It All Again? while weaving in the crowd favourites that built his name in the first place.

Why This Album Matters for House Music

House music in 2026 is in a fascinating place. The genre has never been more commercially successful, and yet the artists finding the biggest audiences are often those who refuse to compromise on quality or emotional depth. Sonny Fodera sits comfortably in that group — his music consistently rewards the listener who wants more than a loop and a drop.

Can We Do It All Again? arrives at a moment when the long-form album is making a genuine comeback in electronic music. Rather than releasing a string of singles and calling it a body of work, Fodera committed to something cohesive and ambitious, and the scale of the response — both critically and commercially — suggests that listeners are hungry for exactly that.

The collaborations deserve particular attention. Working with MK brings a classic house sensibility to certain tracks, while jazzy adds a UK garage-inflected dancefloor urgency elsewhere. HAYLA's vocal performances are among the album's emotional peaks, and D.O.D brings his signature energy to the moments that demand it most.

Looking Beyond Australia

The Australian tour is just one chapter in what has been an extraordinary year for Fodera. The Co-op Live headline, the DJ Mag chart entry, and an album that has genuinely connected with audiences across multiple continents all point to an artist who has moved into a new phase of his career — one defined less by underground credibility alone and more by the rare ability to hold both worlds simultaneously.

For Australian fans who have been watching his rise from afar, this month's shows represent the best possible opportunity to experience that vision live. The Sydney date on October 24 in particular is shaping up to be one of the must-see events of the year in domestic house music.

Tickets for remaining shows are available through standard ticketing platforms. Given the scale of international demand the album has generated, waiting is not advised.
