Alicia Keys Australia Tour 2027

Alicia Keys has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no tour, festival booking or one-off show on the calendar for either country, and no new 2027 world tour has been published that includes Oceania.

It has been a long wait. Her last Australian and New Zealand tour was the final leg of the Set the World on Fire Tour in December 2013, which played arenas in Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane, two winery shows, a second Sydney date at the Star Event Centre and Vector Arena in Auckland on 19 December 2013. Since then her tours, including the Alicia + Keys World Tour of 2022 and the Keys to the Summer Tour of 2023, have stayed in North America and Europe.

This page explains what is and is not known about a possible return and gives a full account of her concerts in Australia and New Zealand, from the Diary Tour theatres of October 2004 to the arenas and vineyards of 2008 and 2013. Facts come from Wikipedia and the setlist archive; anything uncertain has been left out.

Alicia Keys Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about Alicia Keys concerts in Australia or New Zealand in 2027. Her most recent tours were the Alicia + Keys World Tour in 2022 and the Keys to the Summer Tour, which ran in North America between June and August 2023. Since then much of her time has gone into Hell's Kitchen, the musical she wrote and produced, which opened at the Public Theater in New York in November 2023 and moved to Broadway's Shubert Theatre in March 2024; its cast recording won the Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album in February 2025, her 17th Grammy.

Wikipedia also notes that in 2026 she signed with Creative Artists Agency, which handles live bookings among other things. That is not an announcement of a tour, and nothing about Australian or New Zealand dates has been published. Her studio albums since 2020 are Alicia (2020), Keys (2021) and the Christmas album Santa Baby (2022).

Her three tours of the region so far have all come in late spring and early summer: October and November 2004, December 2008 and December 2013. She has also toured with a winery leg each time since 2008, adding vineyards in the Hunter Valley, the Southern Highlands, the Yarra Valley and the Swan Valley to the arena dates. Any 2027 plan, if there is one, has not been made public.

Until there is an official announcement, treat any list of 2027 Australian or New Zealand dates, any ticket listing and any offer of a 'presale code' as unconfirmed. You can sign up below to be alerted as soon as a tour is confirmed.

Before the Alicia Keys Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

Alicia Keys first toured Australia and New Zealand on the Diary Tour, shortly after the release of The Diary of Alicia Keys. Wikipedia lists the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on Friday 22 October 2004, two nights at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on 25 and 26 October, the Lyric Theatre in Brisbane on Friday 29 October and the Aotea Centre in Auckland to finish; the setlist archive dates the Auckland show to Monday 1 November 2004. The Brisbane set featured 'Karma', 'Heartburn', 'A Woman's Worth', 'If I Ain't Got You', 'Diary', 'Fallin'' and 'You Don't Know My Name'.

The As I Am Tour, promoting her third album, came at the end of 2008 and was her first arena tour of the region. It opened at Vector Arena in Auckland on Saturday 6 December 2008 and the TSB Bank Arena in Wellington the next night, then crossed to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Wednesday 10 December and Acer Arena at Sydney Olympic Park on Friday 12 December. Two winery shows followed at Bimbadgen Estate in Pokolbin, in the Hunter Valley, and Centennial Vineyards in Bowral, before Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Wednesday 17 December, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Thursday 18 December and Sandalford in the Swan Valley near Perth on Saturday 20 December 2008.

Five years later she returned with the Set the World on Fire Tour, the world tour for Girl on Fire. Before it began she performed at the ARIA Music Awards at the Star Event Centre in Sydney on Sunday 1 December 2013. The tour itself opened at Perth Arena on Thursday 5 December, then played Rochford Winery in the Yarra Valley on Saturday 7 December, Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Sunday 8 December, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Monday 9 December, Allphones Arena in Sydney on Wednesday 11 December and the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday 13 December.

The last week of that tour took her to Hope Estate in Pokolbin on Saturday 14 December 2013, a second Sydney show at the Star Event Centre on Tuesday 17 December and, finally, Vector Arena in Auckland on Thursday 19 December 2013. That Auckland concert, with 21 songs, is the longest set recorded in the archive for any of her shows in the region, and it remains her most recent concert in either country.

Across the three tours, Sydney has had five of her concerts, Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland three each, and Adelaide, Perth and Wellington the rest. The setlist archive also lists entries for Sydney in December 2002, but they repeat the venues and calendar dates of the 2008 tour and are not supported by Wikipedia, so they are left out of this account and of the table below.

The table below lists 21 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Alicia Keys between 2004 and 2013, with the most shows in Sydney (4), Auckland (3), Brisbane (3), Pokolbin (2), Adelaide (2), Melbourne (2). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Alicia Keys Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Alicia Augello Cook was born in New York City on 25 January 1981. A classically trained pianist, she began composing at 12 and signed her first record deal at 15. Her debut album, Songs in A Minor (2001), sold more than 12 million copies worldwide, reached No. 3 in Australia and won five Grammy Awards, with 'Fallin'' going to No. 1 in the United States.

The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003) brought 'You Don't Know My Name' and 'If I Ain't Got You' and four more Grammys, and her duet with Usher, 'My Boo', became her second US No. 1. Her Unplugged album (2005) made her the first woman to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with an MTV Unplugged release. As I Am (2007), with 'No One', reached No. 3 in Australia, and she recorded the James Bond theme 'Another Way to Die' with Jack White.

In 2009 she sang the hook on Jay-Z's 'Empire State of Mind', another US No. 1, and released The Element of Freedom. Girl on Fire (2012) was her fourth US No. 1 album, followed by Here (2016), Alicia (2020), Keys (2021) and Santa Baby (2022), her first independent release.

Keys has sold more than 90 million records and won 17 Grammy Awards. Billboard named her the top R&B/hip-hop artist of the 2000s. Beyond music, she co-founded the HIV and AIDS charity Keep a Child Alive in 2003, wrote the Tony-winning musical Hell's Kitchen and appeared as a guest in the Super Bowl LVIII half-time show in February 2024.

Alicia Keys Australia Tour 2027: vineyards and summer evenings

One of the distinctive features of Alicia Keys' visits to Australia has been the winery concert. In December 2008 she played Bimbadgen Estate in Pokolbin, in the heart of the Hunter Valley, on Saturday 13 December, Centennial Vineyards in Bowral in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales the following day, and Sandalford in the Swan Valley outside Perth on 20 December. In 2013 she played Rochford Winery in Coldstream, in Victoria's Yarra Valley, and Hope Estate in Pokolbin.

These outdoor shows, held on lawns in the early evening, give a different experience from an arena: picnics, a seated crowd and a shorter, more relaxed set. The archive's partial list from Rochford in December 2013 includes 'Redemption Song', which does not appear in the arena sets of that tour.

Whether a future tour would include wine-country dates is unknown. No 2027 Australian concert of any kind has been announced.

Alicia Keys Australia Tour 2027: the Sydney nights

Sydney has hosted more Alicia Keys concerts than any other city in the region. Her first visit in October 2004 included two nights at the Enmore Theatre in Newtown. In December 2008 she played the arena at Sydney Olympic Park, listed by Wikipedia under its original name, the Sydney SuperDome, and by the setlist archive as Acer Arena. In December 2013 she returned to the same arena, then called Allphones Arena, and added a second Sydney show at the Star Event Centre in Pyrmont on 17 December.

The city also saw her outside concerts: she performed at the ARIA Music Awards at the Star on 1 December 2013, and in 2012 she helped Guy Sebastian choose his finalists on the Australian X Factor. The Sydney Olympic Park arena is now known as Qudos Bank Arena.

Alicia Keys Australia Tour 2027: Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth

Melbourne has had her at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda in October 2004 and at Rod Laver Arena twice, on 17 December 2008 and 8 December 2013. Adelaide has had two arena dates at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, in 2008 and 2013.

Perth was first served by the Sandalford winery date in 2008. In 2013 she played Perth Arena, opened the year before, on Thursday 5 December, the opening night of the Australian leg, with a 20-song set that ran from 'Karma' to 'Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down'.

Alicia Keys Australia Tour 2027: Auckland and New Zealand

New Zealand has been part of all three of her tours of the region. She played the Aotea Centre in Auckland at the end of the 2004 Diary Tour, opened the 2008 As I Am tour at Vector Arena in Auckland and the TSB Bank Arena in Wellington, and closed the 2013 Set the World on Fire Tour at Vector Arena on 19 December 2013.

The Auckland arena, called Vector Arena in 2008 and 2013, is now Spark Arena. No New Zealand dates have been announced for 2026 or 2027.

Alicia Keys Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

An Alicia Keys concert is built around her piano and her voice. On the 2013 Set the World on Fire Tour the arena sets ran to about 20 songs: in Melbourne on 8 December 2013 she opened with 'Karma' and 'You Don't Know My Name', played 'Tears Always Win', 'Listen to Your Heart', 'A Woman's Worth', 'Diary', 'Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready)', 'Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart' and 'Fallin'', then 'Unbreakable', 'Brand New Me', 'If I Ain't Got You', 'No One', 'New Day', 'Girl on Fire' and 'Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down'. In Sydney and Brisbane she also used that song to open the show.

The 2008 As I Am shows had a similar length, opening with 'Go Ahead' and 'You Don't Know My Name' and including 'Teenage Love Affair', 'Superwoman', 'Wreckless Love', 'My Boo', 'Like You'll Never See Me Again' and 'No One', with 'If I Ain't Got You' to finish at the arena dates. The 2004 Auckland show ended with 'War'.

The list below shows the songs she has played most often at documented Australian and New Zealand concerts. A future tour would draw on a much larger catalogue, including songs from Here, Alicia, Keys and Hell's Kitchen, which she has not yet performed live in the region.

Alicia Keys Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

No tickets are on sale for Alicia Keys concerts in Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no shows have been announced. There is no presale, no general sale date and no official presale code.

When a tour is announced, tickets are normally sold through the official ticket outlets named in the announcement and through venue box offices, often after an artist presale for fan-club or mailing-list members and a promoter or card-partner presale. Buy only from these sources, expect mobile tickets that may be tied to the buyer's name, and be wary of anyone selling 'presale codes'.
