Ball Park Music Australia Tour 2027

Ball Park Music have not announced an Australian or New Zealand tour for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there are no confirmed 2027 headline dates, festival bookings or presales on record for the Brisbane band.

They have rarely been off the road. In 2025 the Like Love Tour followed their first No. 1 album, and in late October and November they opened for Oasis at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne and Accor Stadium in Sydney. In 2026 they headlined The Rock 'N' Roll Adventure Continues tour from the Northcote Theatre in May to Geelong in June, and the most recent show in the setlist archive is at Flagstaff Hill in Wollongong on 3 October 2026.

This page explains what is and is not known about 2027 and gives a detailed account of Ball Park Music on stage in Australia and New Zealand: the triple j years, the festival circuit, multi-night theatre runs, the Pizzas' Christmas shows in Brisbane and the songs that close almost every set. It also covers their eight albums and how to approach tickets when dates are announced.

Ball Park Music Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official Ball Park Music tour of Australia or New Zealand for 2027. No city, venue, festival or sale date has been announced. Any website listing 2027 dates or selling 'presale codes' for them is not drawing on an official source.

The band's recent rhythm has been a major headline tour most years, with festival dates and summer shows around it. The Get the F**king Nerds Back On tour ran in May and June 2023, the Like Love Tour from May to July 2025, and The Rock 'N' Roll Adventure Continues in May and June 2026. In between came support slots for Lime Cordiale in 2024 and Oasis in 2025.

Like Love, released on 4 April 2025, is their most recent album and their first to reach No. 1. The 2026 sets in the archive include songs that are not on it, but a new album has not been announced, and neither has a tour to promote one.

Until there is an official announcement, the honest answer to 'Are Ball Park Music touring in 2027?' is that nothing is confirmed. Signing up for the alert on this page is the simplest way to hear when dates are announced.

Before the Ball Park Music Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

Ball Park Music formed at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane in 2008. Their first Australian tour, in October 2010, was with Hungry Kids of Hungary and Big Scary, and as Queensland winner of a triple j Unearthed competition they played Big Day Out in 2011. That year brought the How I Met Ball Park Music Tour with City Riots, the album launch tour with Northeast Party House and The Jungle Giants, and a slot as main support for Boy & Bear on the Moonfire Tour. In 2013 they supported Weezer in Australia alongside Cloud Control.

Their headline tours grew steadily: the 180° Tour of 2012 with 14 dates, the Puddinghead and Trippin' the Light Fantastic tours of 2014, the Every Night the Same Dream Tour of 2016, and the Good Good Mood Tour of 2019. In 2020 a planned tour was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the band played a residency at a Brisbane venue instead after the self-titled album came out in October.

The setlist archive for Australia and New Zealand becomes detailed from 2022. The Weirder & Weirder Tour reached New Zealand that September, at QPS Park in Queenstown on 9 September and The Tuning Fork in Auckland on 10 September 2022. In 2023 the Get the F**king Nerds Back On tour played Freo.Social in Fremantle, the Odeon Theatre in Hobart, four nights at The Princess Theatre in Brisbane from 18 to 21 May, the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on 26 May, two nights at the Northcote Theatre in Melbourne and the Corner Hotel on 4 June 2023.

October 2024 brought a run of larger rooms with shorter, 12-song sets: HBF Stadium in Perth on 3 October, the AEC Theatre in Adelaide, John Cain Arena in Melbourne on 8 October, ICC Sydney Theatre and the Riverstage in Brisbane on 13 October 2024. Wikipedia lists the band as opening act on Lime Cordiale's Enough of the Sweet Talk Tour that year.

The Like Love Tour of 2025 started in Tasmania, at the Bridge Hotel in Forth on 2 May and the Odeon Theatre in Hobart, then went west to Bunbury, Margaret River and Metropolis Fremantle, back east for two nights at the Forum Theatre in Melbourne on 15 and 16 May, Hindley Street Music Hall in Adelaide, Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on 23 May, the Enmore Theatre and Metro Theatre in Sydney on 30 and 31 May, San Fran in Wellington and The Tuning Fork in Auckland on 6 and 7 June, and on through Canberra, Albury, Cairns, Townsville, Rockhampton, Port Macquarie, Elizabeth Beach and Gosford. A July run added Brunswick Heads, Castlemaine, the Pier Bandroom in Melbourne, Toowoomba and Waves in Wollongong.

Then came the stadiums: the Australian shows of Oasis Live '25 at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne and Accor Stadium in Sydney, with nine-song support sets. In 2026 The Rock 'N' Roll Adventure Continues played two nights at the Northcote Theatre on 8 and 9 May, Bar on the Hill in Newcastle, the Roundhouse in Sydney on 23 May, two nights at Freo.Social, The Governor Hindmarsh in Adelaide, two nights at The Tivoli in Brisbane on 5 and 6 June, Kingscliff and Geelong on 27 June 2026.

Ball Park Music Australia Tour 2027: Brisbane and the Pizzas

Brisbane is home, and the archive shows it: four nights at The Princess Theatre in May 2023, two at The Tivoli in June 2026, Fortitude Music Hall, the Riverstage, The Zoo and the Triffid Gardens, where they played on 4 April 2025, the day Like Love was released.

Brisbane is also where the Pizzas play. The Pizzas are Ball Park Music's 'secret' side project, the five members under alter egos playing a once-a-year show of mostly Ball Park Music songs, with a running joke that fans should boo them. The archive lists the Pizzas' 'Merry Crustmas' Christmas shows at The Zoo on 22 December 2023 and The Triffid on 13 December 2024 and 20 December 2025. Cromack has vowed the Pizzas will never play a show in Sydney.

Supporting Oasis on the Australian leg of Oasis Live '25 put Ball Park Music in front of the biggest crowds of their career, at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne and Accor Stadium in Sydney in late October and November 2025. Their nine-song set was a compact greatest-hits run: 'Head Like a Sieve', 'The Perfect Life Does Not Exist', 'It's Nice to Be Alive', 'Please Don't Move to Melbourne', 'Cocaine Lion', 'Manny', 'Spark Up!', 'She Only Loves Me When I'm There' and 'Struggle Street'.

Oasis's return for 2027 is a separate story. Nothing announced so far places Ball Park Music on any 2027 Oasis date, and this page does not suggest otherwise.

Ball Park Music Australia Tour 2027: New Zealand

New Zealand appears in the archive on two tours. The Weirder & Weirder Tour played QPS Park in Queenstown on 9 September 2022 and The Tuning Fork in Auckland the next night, and the Like Love Tour returned to San Fran in Wellington on 6 June and The Tuning Fork on 7 June 2025.

No New Zealand date has been announced for 2027. Based on recent visits, any return would most likely be to rooms of a similar size in Auckland and Wellington.
