Adele has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no tour, no residency and no one-off show booked anywhere in the region, and she has not released a new album since 30 in November 2021. In an interview on 16 July 2024 she said she was taking an indefinite break from music once her Las Vegas residency was over, with no plans for a new record at that time.
That makes her one of the most requested names on any list of hoped-for 2027 tours, and with good reason. Adele has toured Australia and New Zealand exactly once, in February and March 2017, and that single visit was enormous: eleven stadium concerts in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne and Auckland, played to a total of 732,134 people according to the tour's Wikipedia article. The two Sydney nights at ANZ Stadium drew the biggest crowds of her entire world tour.
This page sets out plainly what is and is not known about Adele's plans, then tells the full story of her Australian and New Zealand concerts: the opening night in Perth, the two Gabba shows, the record-breaking Sydney weekend, the Adelaide Oval, two nights in Melbourne and three at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland.
There is no official Adele tour of Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No dates, cities, venues, presales or on-sale times have been published, and no Australian or New Zealand promoter has listed her. Nothing announced elsewhere in the world for 2027 includes her either: her last concerts anywhere were the ten Adele in Munich shows of August 2024 and the final run of Weekends with Adele at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, which closed in 2024.
Adele has always toured sparingly and in long gaps. She played no stadium tour at all for her first two albums, took 25 around the world in 2016 and 2017, and chose residencies rather than a tour for 30: Las Vegas from November 2022, Hyde Park in London in July 2022 and Munich in August 2024. None of those formats came to the southern hemisphere. Based on that history, a new Australian visit would most likely follow a new album, and none has been announced.
The 2017 tour also explains why fans here should be careful. Demand for Adele tickets has been extreme every time she has gone on sale: in January 2017 more than 600,000 tickets had already been sold for the Australian stadium shows, and her first two Auckland concerts sold out in 23 minutes. Any website that today offers Adele 2027 Australian dates, seat maps or a 'presale code' is not official.

Adele's career was a decade old before she played a single concert in Australia. The setlist archive for Australia and New Zealand begins and ends with one tour: the Oceania leg of Adele Live 2016, the stadium tour for her third album 25, which arrived here in February 2017 after a year of arena shows in Europe and North America. For local fans the wait had been long, because 19, 21 and 25 had all been major hits in Australia, the last two reaching number one on the ARIA albums chart.
The leg opened at Domain Stadium in Perth on Tuesday 28 February 2017, in front of about 65,000 people. The opening night was well received, with reviewers singling out the ease and warmth of her voice in a venue built for football. From Perth the tour went to Brisbane for two nights at the Gabba, listed by the setlist archive under its formal name, the Brisbane Cricket Ground, on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 March. Brisbane's attendance across the weekend was about 120,000.
Sydney came next and set the record. On Friday 10 and Saturday 11 March 2017 Adele played ANZ Stadium at Homebush, the former Olympic stadium, to a combined 194,834 people, an average of more than 95,000 a night. According to Wikipedia, those were the largest audiences of the whole Adele Live tour and the venue's biggest crowds since the 2000 Sydney Olympics, beating the stadium's concert record of 75,980 set by Taylor Swift in 2015.
Adelaide followed on Monday 13 March at the Adelaide Oval, with around 70,000 people. Melbourne then had two nights at Etihad Stadium, the Docklands venue now known as Marvel Stadium, on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 March, with a combined attendance of 152,300. Those were the last Australian concerts of the tour and remain the last Adele concerts in Australia to date.
The leg finished in New Zealand with three nights at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland on Thursday 23, Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 March 2017. The first two shows sold out in 23 minutes and a third was added, which sold out in under half an hour; around 130,000 people saw her across the three nights. Auckland was the only New Zealand city on the tour, and Mount Smart is still the only place in the country where she has played a full concert.
In total, the eleven Oceania shows were watched by 732,134 people. The tour returned to Britain for four nights at Wembley Stadium in June 2017, the last two of which were cancelled because of damage to her vocal cords. Adele has not toured since; her concerts after 2017 have all been residencies or fixed-site runs in the United States, London and Munich.

Across the 11 most recent documented Australia/NZ concerts with a full song list (28 February 2017 to 26 March 2017), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins was born on 5 May 1988 in Tottenham, north London, and grew up there, in Brighton and in south London. She graduated from the BRIT School in 2006 and signed with XL Recordings. Her debut album 19 (2008), with 'Chasing Pavements' and 'Make You Feel My Love', reached number three in Australia and number one in the UK, and won her the Grammy for Best New Artist.
21 (2011) changed everything. With 'Rolling in the Deep', 'Someone Like You' and 'Set Fire to the Rain' it became the best-selling album of the 21st century, topped the Billboard 200 for 24 weeks and won six Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. It reached number one in Australia. In 2013 she won the Academy Award for Best Original Song for the James Bond theme 'Skyfall'.
25 (2015) broke first-week sales records in both the UK and the US, where it became the first album to sell more than three million copies in a single week. Its lead single 'Hello' was a worldwide number one, the album won five Grammys and it went to number one in Australia. The world tour that followed was the one that finally brought her to Australia and New Zealand.
30 (2021), led by 'Easy on Me', was the best-selling album in the world that year and her third Australian number one in a row. It made her the first solo artist to win the Brit Award for British Album of the Year three times. With more than 120 million records sold, 16 Grammy Awards, 12 Brit Awards, an Oscar, a Primetime Emmy and a Golden Globe, she is one of the most successful artists of her generation.
| Album | Year | AUS chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| 19 | 2008 | AUS 3 |
| 21 | 2011 | AUS 1 |
| 25 | 2015 | AUS 1 |
| 30 | 2021 | AUS 1 |
The two ANZ Stadium concerts of 10 and 11 March 2017 are the headline numbers of Adele's Australian story. Close to 195,000 people over one weekend, an average of more than 95,000 a night, made them the largest crowds of the entire Adele Live tour anywhere in the world.
They also rewrote the stadium's own history. Wikipedia records them as the biggest audiences at Homebush since the 2000 Olympic Games, and well above the previous concert record at the venue, Taylor Swift's 75,980 in 2015. For a singer whose show is built on ballads and a piano, filling a stadium of that size twice was a striking result.
The stadium has since been renamed Accor Stadium. Any future Adele visit to Sydney would face the same question as in 2017: how many nights a city of that size can sustain. No future date has been announced.
New Zealand saw Adele three times in four days, all at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland, home ground of the Warriors rugby league club. The speed of the sale is part of local concert lore: two shows gone in 23 minutes, a third added and sold out in under 30 minutes, for a total of about 130,000 tickets.
Wellington, Christchurch and the rest of the country were not included, and Auckland closed the Oceania leg on Sunday 26 March 2017. Since then, no Adele concert has been announced in New Zealand. If she returns, Auckland's stadiums would again be the obvious host, but that is an assumption based on 2017, not an announcement.
Adele had never played an Australian stadium before 2017, and she skipped the arena and theatre circuit entirely: every one of the eleven Oceania shows was in a stadium. Perth's Domain Stadium (the old Subiaco Oval), the Gabba, ANZ Stadium, the Adelaide Oval, Etihad Stadium and Mount Smart Stadium together gave her the largest per-show crowds of her career at that time.
The timing mattered too. Late February and March is the end of the Australian summer, after the cricket season and before the football codes take over the big grounds, which allowed a run of six stadiums in under four weeks. Perth's old ground has since closed in favour of Optus Stadium, and Melbourne's has been renamed Marvel Stadium, so a repeat tour would look different on the map even if it followed the same pattern.
Melbourne was the last Australian stop of the tour, with two nights at Etihad Stadium on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 March 2017 and 152,300 people across the weekend. The set lists for both nights in the archive are the same 18 songs that ran through the whole leg, from 'Hello' to 'Someone Like You'.
Those two shows are the most recent Adele concerts on Australian soil. More than nine years later, Melbourne fans who missed them are still waiting for a second chance, and as of 9 October 2026 there is no sign of one being scheduled.
The Australian and New Zealand shows followed a fixed set of 18 songs every night. The archive lists the same running order in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne and Auckland: 'Hello' to open, then 'Hometown Glory', 'One and Only', 'I'll Be Waiting', 'Rumour Has It' and 'Water Under the Bridge', followed by 'I Miss You', 'Skyfall', 'Don't You Remember' and 'Make You Feel My Love'.
The second half of the show brought 'Send My Love (to Your New Lover)', 'Sweetest Devotion', 'Chasing Pavements', 'Take It All' and 'Set Fire to the Rain', before an encore of 'When We Were Young', 'Rolling in the Deep' and 'Someone Like You'. The show mixed songs from all three albums released by then, with 25 and 21 providing most of the set.
The later shows in Las Vegas and Munich kept a similar length, around 20 songs, and added material from 30 such as 'Easy on Me', 'I Drink Wine' and 'Hold On'. None of those songs has yet been performed live in Australia or New Zealand.
There are no Adele tickets for Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. No presale, general on-sale or fan registration has been published for the region, and any listing that claims otherwise is not official.
If concerts are announced, buy only from the official ticket outlets named in the announcement, the venue box office or the artist's own fan registration. Recent large tours in Australia have used name-locked mobile tickets, so buy through the official outlet or its official resale service; be wary of anyone selling 'presale codes'.
