What is Robyn?
Generational pop icon Robyn announces the sexistential tour coming to Australia November 2026, playing Sydney’s Afterpay Arena Saturday 21 November and Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena Tuesday 24 November.
Sexistential is the most ecstatic record that Robyn has ever made, the sound of one of contemporary music’s most influential artists coming home. After the club music meditations of 2018’s Honey, the album features nine, deeply playful pop songs that tie back to her era-defining Body Talk trilogy, designed to feel “like a spaceship coming through the atmosphere at a really high speed and crash landing,” she says. “That’s how I felt, like I’d had all these experiences searching too far out into space, and now I’m crashing back into myself.”
Co-produced mainly with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, and featuring Max Martin among the writing credits (their first collaborations since 2010’s “Time Machine”), Sexistential heralds of the decade’s most celebrated comebacks. Featuring the singles “Dopamine,” “Talk To Me” and “Sexistential”, it’s emphatic and punchy, defiant about both emotional and biological pleasure, need and softness. The album’s title started life as an in-joke before she realised it said everything she wanted to say. “Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song,” she explains. “It’s such a beautiful kind of sensitive vibration that takes so much work to keep afloat. I feel like the purpose of my life is to stay horny it doesn’t even have to be about sex, but it’s feeling sensual and attracted to things that I enjoy, and not letting anything take over that.”
The album news comes among a run of recent public appearances including a performance on CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen and two sold-out shows at Brooklyn Paramount that have created huge anticipation and speculation around new music. Whether performing with David Byrne to celebrate Saturday Night Live’s fiftieth anniversary, making show-stopping live appearances with the likes of Charli xcx and Gracie Abrams, collaborating with Yung Lean and Charli for a version of Brat’s “360,” or soundtracking Acne Studio’s 2025 Paris show, Robyn continues to have an immeasurable impact on popular culture.
