Ariana Grande 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 Australian or New Zealand leg has been attached to her most recent tour, the Eternal Sunshine Tour, which ran only in North America and England between June and September 2026.
Her only full concert tour of this part of the world so far came almost a decade ago. In September 2017 the Dangerous Woman Tour played six arena and theatre nights: Spark Arena in Auckland, two nights at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, two at the ICC Sydney Theatre and a final show at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. Before that, Australian audiences had seen her only on television, during a promotional visit to Sydney in September 2014.
This page sets out what is and is not known about Grande's plans after 2026, and gives a full account of her past visits to Australia and New Zealand, the songs she sang there and the albums that made her one of the most successful pop artists of her generation in both countries.
There is no official information about Ariana Grande concerts in Australia or New Zealand in 2027. The Eternal Sunshine Tour, her first concert tour since 2019, consisted of 41 arena shows across North America and England between June and September 2026. It grossed a reported $107.9 million and sold more than 638,000 tickets, becoming the second-highest-grossing tour of her career, but it did not include any dates in Oceania, Asia or Latin America.
Grande also has no confirmed 2027 concerts anywhere else in the world at the time of writing. Her eighth studio album, Petal, came out on 31 July 2026 and went to number one in Australia, so there is new music to tour. Against that, in August 2026 a representative described her withdrawal from a planned 2027 London stage production of Sunday in the Park with George as part of a plan to take a step back from visibility after the tour. Nothing in the public record points to a return to the road in 2027.
Australian fans have waited a long time before. After the 2017 visit, the Sweetener World Tour of 2019, the biggest of her career with 97 shows, played only North America and Europe, and she then spent several years concentrating on film, including her role as Glinda in Wicked (2024) and Wicked: For Good (2025). The gap between Australian tours is already longer than her whole recording career before 2017.
Until there is an official announcement, treat any list of Ariana Grande 2027 Australian dates, any 'presale code' and any ticket listing for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Auckland with suspicion. If a tour is confirmed, this page will be updated with the dates and venues, and the alert below will tell you first.
Grande's first appearances in Australia were promotional rather than concerts. In September 2014, a few weeks after the release of My Everything, she was in Sydney and sang 'Problem', 'Bang Bang' and 'Break Free' on The X Factor Australia on Monday 8 September, then performed 'Problem' and 'Break Free' on breakfast television the next morning. 'Problem', her duet with the Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, was the song that first made her a household name in both countries; it became her first number-one single in New Zealand.
The Honeymoon Tour of 2015 visited North America, Europe, Asia and South America but not Australia or New Zealand, so local fans had to wait until the Dangerous Woman Tour for a proper concert. That tour began in February 2017 and became one of the most closely watched pop tours of the decade after the bombing at Manchester Arena on 22 May 2017, which killed 22 people. Grande suspended the tour, organised the One Love Manchester benefit concert on 4 June and resumed in Paris three days later. The Oceania leg in September was among the last runs of the tour.
The Oceania leg opened at Spark Arena in Auckland on Saturday 2 September 2017, her first and so far only concert in New Zealand. From there she flew to Melbourne for two nights at Rod Laver Arena on Monday 4 and Tuesday 5 September, then to Sydney for two nights at the ICC Sydney Theatre on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 September. The leg ended at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Tuesday 12 September 2017.
The Sydney choice is worth noting. Rather than the larger arena at Sydney Olympic Park, the promoters booked the ICC Sydney Theatre at Darling Harbour, part of the International Convention Centre complex that had opened at the end of 2016. It made the two Sydney nights some of the most intimate shows of the whole tour. Melbourne got the larger room, Rod Laver Arena at Melbourne Park, the city's main arena for touring pop acts.
The setlist archive shows the same 23-song set every night of the Oceania leg, from the opener 'Be Alright' to the closer 'Dangerous Woman'. Perth and Adelaide were not on the route, and neither city has yet had an Ariana Grande concert. That matters for any future tour: if Grande returns, the west coast and South Australia would be new territory.
In total the archive lists six concerts in the region, five in Australia and one in New Zealand, all in a ten-day window in September 2017. The table on this page shows them night by night.
The table below lists 6 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Ariana Grande between 2017 and 2017, with the most shows in Sydney (2), Melbourne (2), Brisbane (1), Auckland (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Ariana Grande-Butera was born on 26 June 1993 in Boca Raton, Florida. She started on Broadway in the musical 13 in 2008 and became known as Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon series Victorious (2010-2013) and its spin-off Sam & Cat. After signing with Republic Records she released Yours Truly in 2013, a retro pop and R&B record that went straight to number one on the Billboard 200 and into the top ten in Australia.
My Everything (2014) and Dangerous Woman (2016) turned her into a global star, with 'Problem', 'Break Free', 'Bang Bang', 'One Last Time', 'Into You' and 'Side to Side'. Both albums reached number one in Australia. Dangerous Woman also topped the charts in New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands, which is why the 2017 tour built for it reached so many countries.
After the events of 2017 she released Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019) within six months of each other, followed by Positions (2020). 'Thank U, Next', '7 Rings', 'Stuck with U', 'Rain on Me', 'Positions' and her remix of the Weeknd's 'Save Your Tears' all topped the US Hot 100, and 'Positions' was also a number one in Australia and New Zealand. Sweetener brought her first Grammy Award, and she also won the Brit Award for International Female Solo Artist in 2019.
After a musical break she returned with Eternal Sunshine (2024), led by 'Yes, And?' and 'We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)', and went back to number one in Australia and New Zealand in 2025 with its deluxe reissue. Her performance as Glinda in Wicked earned her an Academy Award nomination. Petal (2026), released on her own imprint Babydoll Music and preceded by the number-one single 'Hate That I Made You Love Me', became her sixth number-one album in Australia. With more than 150 million units sold, she is one of the best-selling artists of all time.
| Album | Year | AUS chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| Yours Truly | 2013 | AUS 6 |
| My Everything | 2014 | AUS 1 |
| Dangerous Woman | 2016 | AUS 1 |
| Sweetener | 2018 | AUS 1 |
| Thank U, Next | 2019 | AUS 1 |
| Positions | 2020 | AUS 2 |
| Eternal Sunshine | 2024 | AUS 1 |
| Petal | 2026 | AUS 1 |
Nine years will have passed in September 2026 since Grande last sang in Australia, and in that time she has released five studio albums: Sweetener, Thank U, Next, Positions, Eternal Sunshine and Petal. None of their songs has ever been performed live in this country, from '7 Rings' and 'No Tears Left to Cry' to 'We Can't Be Friends' and 'Hate That I Made You Love Me'.
Her two tours since then were planned around North America and Europe. The Sweetener World Tour played 97 shows in 2019 without visiting Oceania, and the Eternal Sunshine Tour of 2026 was a shorter run of 41 arena nights in North America and England. Neither added Asian or Australian dates later, although that has happened on other artists' tours, so it is not possible to read a pattern into it either way.
What can be said is that demand in Australia has not faded. Six of her eight studio albums have reached number one on the Australian chart, including Petal in August 2026.
New Zealand has had one Ariana Grande concert: Spark Arena in Auckland on Saturday 2 September 2017. It was the first night of the Oceania leg of the Dangerous Woman Tour, and the setlist archive shows the full 23-song set, opening with 'Be Alright' and 'Everyday' and finishing with 'Problem', 'Into You' and 'Dangerous Woman'.
New Zealand has been one of her strongest markets. 'Problem' was her first number-one single there, and Dangerous Woman, Positions and the 2025 reissue of Eternal Sunshine all reached number one on the New Zealand album chart. Spark Arena, on the Auckland waterfront, is the usual stop for a big pop tour; Wellington and Christchurch have not had a Grande show.
Melbourne was the only Australian city apart from Sydney to get two nights in 2017, both at Rod Laver Arena, on Monday 4 and Tuesday 5 September. Holding two weeknight arena shows back to back was a sign of how strong the Victorian sales had been.
Rod Laver Arena is the centre court of the Australian Open at Melbourne Park, with a retractable roof, and has long been the city's main indoor venue for international pop. If Grande returns with an arena production like the one she took round North America in 2026, it is the obvious Melbourne room.
In Sydney, Grande played two nights at the ICC Sydney Theatre on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 September 2017, rather than one big arena show. The theatre belongs to the International Convention Centre at Darling Harbour, which had opened less than a year before, and these were among the first major pop concerts held there.
Sydney is also where she made her first Australian television appearances, on The X Factor Australia and on breakfast television in September 2014, while she was promoting My Everything. Those were not concerts, and they are not counted in the table on this page.
The Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall hosted the final Australian show of 2017, on Tuesday 12 September. The setlist archive shows the same 23 songs as the previous nights, with 'Over the Rainbow' in its usual place before 'Problem'.
Perth, Adelaide, Wellington and Christchurch were not on the 2017 route and have never hosted an Ariana Grande concert. Whether a future tour would add them is unknown, because no tour has been announced.
Every show of the 2017 Oceania leg followed the same 23-song running order. It opened with 'Be Alright', 'Everyday', 'Bad Decisions' and 'Let Me Love You', moved through 'Knew Better Pt. II', 'Forever Boy', 'One Last Time', 'Touch It', 'Leave Me Lonely', 'Side to Side' and 'Bang Bang', and after 'Greedy', 'Focus', 'I Don't Care', 'Moonlight', 'Love Me Harder', 'Break Free', 'Sometimes' and 'Thinking Bout You' came 'Over the Rainbow' and the closing trio 'Problem', 'Into You' and 'Dangerous Woman'.
Her more recent concerts have been built around her later records. The Eternal Sunshine Tour of 2026 was praised for its production, storytelling and vocals, and played arenas rather than stadiums. 'Knew Better Part Two', the new track on the tenth-anniversary edition of Dangerous Woman in May 2026, links back directly to the song she sang in Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in 2017.
No set for a future Australian concert exists yet. If she returns, the songs Australian audiences have never heard live, from the Sweetener era to Petal, would make up most of the night.
There are no Ariana Grande tickets on sale in Australia or New Zealand for 2027, because no concerts have been announced. Any site already selling seats, or offering a presale code for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Auckland, is not official.
When a major pop tour is announced here, it is usually preceded by fan club and promoter presales, then a general sale through the official outlet named by the promoter and the venue box offices. Tickets are increasingly mobile and name-locked, so buy only from the official seller or an authorised resale service, and be wary of screenshots and transfers from strangers.
