Amyl and the Sniffers Australia Tour 2027

Amyl and the Sniffers have not announced a 2027 tour of Australia or New Zealand. As of 9 October 2026 there is no headline run, festival booking or one-off show on the official record for either country, and no tickets or presales have been opened. This page will be updated as soon as anything is confirmed.

For a band from Melbourne, that is never a long-term state of affairs. Amy Taylor, Declan Mehrtens, Bryce Wilson and Gus Romer have played well over a hundred shows at home since 2019, from the Small Ballroom in Newcastle and country pubs in Gippsland to the Sidney Myer Music Bowl and, as the main support on AC/DC's Power Up Tour in November and December 2025, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Accor Stadium, Optus Stadium and Suncorp Stadium.

Below you will find what is and is not known about 2027, a full account of the band's Australian and New Zealand concerts as listed in the setlist archive, their festival appearances, their three albums and what a Sniffers set looks like in 2025.

Amyl and the Sniffers Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about Amyl and the Sniffers concerts in Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No promoter has announced dates, no venue has listed a show, and the band has not released a new album since Cartoon Darkness in October 2024. We have also found no 2027 dates for them elsewhere in the world in the confirmed tour data we track.

Their last full headline tour at home, part of the Cartoon Darkness World Tour, ran in January and February 2025: Adelaide, two nights in Fremantle, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, Wollongong, the Sunshine Coast, two nights at The Tivoli in Brisbane and Quercus Park in Carrick, Tasmania, before three New Zealand shows in Wellington and Auckland. The AC/DC stadium support slots followed at the end of 2025.

Wikipedia notes that Lakota Vella has been playing bass with the band in 2026 as a substitute for Gus Romer. Nothing in that note says anything about a 2027 tour, and no new music or tour has been announced alongside it.

So, for now, there are no 2027 Australian or New Zealand dates to plan around. Any site offering a 2027 date list, tickets or a 'presale code' for an Amyl and the Sniffers tour is not working from an official announcement. If you want to hear first, sign up for the alert below.

Before the Amyl and the Sniffers Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

The setlist archive picks up the Sniffers' Australian story in September 2019, a few months after their self-titled debut album. That spring run took in The Small Ballroom in Newcastle on Wednesday 18 September, the Marrickville Bowling Club and the Lansdowne Hotel in Sydney, the Transit Bar in Canberra, Badlands Bar in Perth on Friday 27 September, Vinnies Dive on the Gold Coast and The Zoo in Brisbane on Saturday 5 October 2019. A pub show at the Charlton Motel in country Victoria followed on Saturday 23 November.

The summer of 2019-20 put them on the big festival sites (see below), and in late February and March 2020 they played the Torquay Hotel, LVL 5 in Adelaide, Solbar in Maroochydore, The Triffid in Brisbane, The Factory Theatre in Sydney and The Newcastle Hotel on Saturday 14 March 2020, just before the pandemic closed venues. In May 2021 the Small Town Big Sound Tour took them to the Riverview Hotel at Tarwin Lower, the Marlo Hotel at Orbost, the Delatite Hotel in Mansfield and the Mountain View Hotel at Wandiligong, and in October 2021 they launched Comfort to Me with shows at the Seaworks Maritime Precinct and the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne.

2022 was the busiest year in the archive. After shows at the Croxton Park Hotel in December 2021, they played the Princess Theatre in Brisbane, GMHBA Stadium in Geelong, The Summerhouse in Adelaide, Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Sunday 27 March and the Metro Theatre in Sydney. The Comfort To Me Tour 2022 then covered The Triffid in Brisbane, Miami Marketta on the Gold Coast, the Theatre Royal in Castlemaine, two Forum Theatre nights in Melbourne, the Adelaide UniBar, Ross River Resort near Alice Springs, The Charles Hotel in Perth, Freo.Social in Fremantle, UniBar in Wollongong, the Enmore Theatre in Sydney and the Pier Bandroom in Melbourne, ending with the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on New Year's Eve 2022 and Fremantle Park on Saturday 7 January 2023.

In April 2023, the month Wikipedia says the band toured with the Smashing Pumpkins and Jane's Addiction, the archive lists Sandstone Point Hotel in Moreton Bay, two Hordern Pavilion nights in Sydney, the Port Melbourne Industrial Centre for the Arts, Kryal Castle near Ballarat, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, the Newcastle Entertainment Centre and Broadwater Parklands on the Gold Coast. In late 2023 they went back to regional Victoria: Meeniyan Town Hall, Volta in Ballarat, the Torquay Hotel, the Theatre Royal in Castlemaine, the Dart and Marlin in Warrnambool and The Cube in Wodonga, with the Pier Bandroom and the Thornbury Theatre in Melbourne.

The Cartoon Darkness World Tour reached Australia in January 2025, opening at the Hindley Street Music Hall in Adelaide on Thursday 16 January and closing at Quercus Park in Carrick, Tasmania, on Saturday 8 February. New Zealand followed with Meow Nui in Wellington on Friday 14 February and two nights at the Powerstation in Auckland on 15 and 16 February 2025. The band was back in New Zealand at Remarkables Park in Frankton, near Queenstown, on Friday 12 September 2025.

Their biggest Australian shows came at the end of 2025 as the main support act on AC/DC's Power Up Tour: the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Wednesday 12 and Sunday 16 November, Accor Stadium in Sydney on Friday 21 and Tuesday 25 November, the Adelaide Parklands Circuit on Sunday 30 November, Optus Stadium in Perth on Thursday 4 and Monday 8 December, and Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Sunday 14 and Thursday 18 December 2025. In all, the archive lists 100 Australian shows and four in New Zealand.

The table below lists 101 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Amyl and the Sniffers between 2019 and 2025, with the most shows in Melbourne (20), Sydney (13), Brisbane (9), Adelaide (6), Fremantle (5), Perth (4). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Amyl and the Sniffers Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

Several of the Sniffers' Australian dates were on well-known festival sites, although the setlist archive does not always name the event. On Saturday 14 December 2019 they played the Supernatural Amphitheatre at Meredith, home of the Meredith Music Festival, and on Monday 30 December 2019 the Falls Festival site at Marion Bay in Tasmania, followed by North Byron Parklands on New Year's Day 2020 and Fremantle Oval on Sunday 5 January 2020.

North Byron Parklands, the site of Splendour in the Grass, appears again on Sunday 24 July 2022 and on Monday 2 January 2023. Other outdoor dates include Victoria Park in Melbourne in January 2020 and the Carisbrook Racecourse and Recreation Reserve in Victoria on Saturday 3 December 2022. No Australian or New Zealand festival has announced them for the 2026-27 summer as of 9 October 2026.

Amyl and the Sniffers Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Amyl and the Sniffers were formed in 2016 by housemates Amy Taylor, Bryce Wilson, Declan Mehrtens and Calum Newton in Balaclava, Melbourne, and recorded their first EP, Giddy Up, in about 12 hours. Newton left to go solo and Gus Romer joined on bass in early 2017, the year of a second EP, Big Attraction. The band's name comes from the Australian slang for amyl nitrite; Taylor has compared the band to the drug's short, sharp rush. Critics have linked their sound to 1970s punk such as Iggy and the Stooges and the Damned, while Taylor lists influences from Minor Threat and AC/DC to Dolly Parton and Cardi B.

Their debut album, Amyl and the Sniffers, was produced by Ross Orton and released on 24 May 2019. It won the ARIA Award for Best Rock Album that year and was nominated for the Australian Music Prize. The second album, Comfort to Me, recorded at Sound Park in Melbourne, was brought forward and released on 10 September 2021, with 'Guided by Angels', 'Security' and 'Hertz' as singles; the band won the ARIA Award for Best Group in 2022.

International touring grew fast. In June and July 2022 they opened for Weezer, Fall Out Boy and Green Day on the European leg of the Hella Mega Tour; in 2024 they headlined in the United States alongside support dates for Foo Fighters, then toured the UK and Europe in November. Cartoon Darkness, their third album, came out on 25 October 2024 with 'U Should Not Be Doing That', 'Chewing Gum', 'Big Dreams' and 'Jerkin''. That summer they reached the Triple J Hottest 100 for the first time, with 'Jerkin'' at No. 32 and 'U Should Not Be Doing That' at No. 34.

In 2025 they opened three concerts for The Offspring in Brazil, played their own show in São Paulo, and from mid-November to mid-December supported AC/DC across Australia. In all they have been nominated for nine ARIA Awards and won three.

Amyl and the Sniffers Australia Tour 2027: why Melbourne is the centre of it all

Melbourne accounts for more Sniffers shows than any other city in the archive, 22 of the 100 Australian dates. They range from the Croxton Park Hotel and the Pier Bandroom to two Forum Theatre nights, Rod Laver Arena, four Sidney Myer Music Bowl shows (October 2021, 9 December 2022, New Year's Eve 2022 and January 2025) and the two Melbourne Cricket Ground nights with AC/DC.

The city also hosted the band's odder venues: the Seaworks Maritime Precinct, the Port Melbourne Industrial Centre for the Arts, Colour Club, and studio sessions at Button Pusher in July 2020 and Sound Park in October 2021. Whatever a 2027 tour looks like, if one is announced, a Melbourne show will almost certainly be at its heart.

Amyl and the Sniffers Australia Tour 2027: touring the regions

Few Australian bands of their size play as many small towns. The archive lists the Charlton Motel, the Small Town Big Sound Tour of 2021 (Tarwin Lower, Orbost, Mansfield, Wandiligong), Ross River Resort in the Northern Territory, Apollo Bay Distillery, the Star of the West Hotel in Port Fairy, and the late-2023 run through Meeniyan, Ballarat, Torquay, Castlemaine, Warrnambool and Wodonga.

Tasmania has seen them at Marion Bay in 2019 and at Quercus Park in Carrick in February 2025, and Queensland's Sunshine Coast at Solbar, Eleven Dive Bar and The Station. In the archive, these regional dates tend to come in short clusters rather than as part of the big city tours.

Amyl and the Sniffers Australia Tour 2027: from pubs to stadiums with AC/DC

The nine Power Up Tour dates of November and December 2025 took the band into the country's biggest stadiums for the first time: the MCG twice, Accor Stadium twice, the Adelaide Parklands Circuit, Optus Stadium twice and Suncorp Stadium twice. Their support sets ran to 18 or 19 songs, opening with 'Security' on the first MCG night and with 'Balaclava Lover Boogie' from the second onwards.

Wikipedia lists AC/DC among Amy Taylor's influences, which made the pairing a natural one. It was the band's last run of Australian shows in the archive before 2026.

Amyl and the Sniffers Australia Tour 2027: Auckland, Wellington and Queenstown

New Zealand has four Sniffers dates in the archive: Meow Nui in Wellington on Friday 14 February 2025, the Powerstation in Auckland on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 February 2025, and Remarkables Park in Frankton on Friday 12 September 2025.

No New Zealand show is announced for 2027. In 2025 the New Zealand dates followed straight on from the Australian tour, so any future NZ shows would most likely be announced with Australian ones.

Amyl and the Sniffers Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

A Sniffers headline show is short, loud and fast. On the Cartoon Darkness tour the band played about 22 to 24 songs. At the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Friday 24 January 2025 the set opened with 'Doing in Me Head', 'Security', 'Do It Do It', 'Maggot' and 'Freaks to the Front', took in 'Chewing Gum', 'Guided by Angels', 'Knifey', 'Jerkin'', 'Tiny Bikini', 'Big Dreams' and 'U Should Not Be Doing That', and ended with 'Hertz', 'Balaclava Lover Boogie' and 'GFY'.

The AC/DC support sets of late 2025 squeezed 18 or 19 songs into a shorter slot, with newer songs such as 'Pigs' and 'Starfire 500' next to 'Some Mutts (Can't Be Muzzled)' and 'Hertz'. Across all the Australian and New Zealand set lists in the archive, 'Guided by Angels', 'Some Mutts (Can't Be Muzzled)', 'Security', 'Hertz' and 'Knifey' are the songs they have played most often.

The core of the set has stayed remarkably stable from pub rooms to stadiums: 'Balaclava Lover Boogie', 'Got You', 'GFY' and 'I'm Not a Loser' appear both in the 2019 set lists and on the January 2025 tour, alongside the newer Cartoon Darkness songs. What a 2027 set would look like cannot be known until new dates or new music are announced.

Amyl and the Sniffers Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no Amyl and the Sniffers tickets on sale for Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. Ignore any listing, package or 'presale code' claiming otherwise.

When the band does announce dates, buy from the official ticket outlet named in the announcement, the venue box office, or a fan presale run through the band's official channels. Many Australian mobile tickets are tied to the buyer's name, so buy through the official outlet or its official resale service to make sure the ticket is in your name; if you cannot go, use the official resale service attached to the show.
