JUST ANNOUNCED! Rubii will be supported by JUPiTA (SYD & MEL) & Maden Lane (SYD)!

Handsome Tours & Astral People are proud to present RUBII!

Birmingham-based artist RUBII brings her intimate, emotionally rich live show to Australia this winter, performing in Melbourne and Sydney as part of a limited run of dates that underline her rise as one of the UK’s most compelling new voices in contemporary R&B.

Emerging as a breakout artist in 2024, RUBII occupies a space where neo-soul, hip-hop, jazz and classic R&B meet introspective songwriting and understated experimentation. Her music is built on feel as much as form. Silky, emotive vocals are layered over grounded, rhythmic production, allowing vulnerability to sit comfortably alongside confidence.

RUBII’s work feels conversational rather than performative. There is an intimacy to her storytelling that draws listeners inward, balanced by a modern sensibility that keeps her sound sharp and forward-facing. It is this combination of emotional nuance and sonic sophistication that has positioned her at the forefront of a new generation of independent R&B artists redefining the genre on their own terms.

Her catalogue reflects a clear and steady evolution. From early releases to her most recent EP, RUBII has continued to refine her voice, both lyrically and sonically. Recent singles have connected widely, amassing millions of streams and gaining traction across social platforms without compromising the intimacy at the core of her work.

These upcoming Australian shows offer a rare chance to experience RUBII in close quarters where her music resonates most naturally. Expect performances that prioritise atmosphere, honesty and connection, delivered with the quiet assurance of an artist fully in control of her craft.
