beabadoobee plays her first Australian arena headline shows in March 2027 on The Powerlines Tour, the world tour behind her fourth album Pylon. Three dates are confirmed: the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Monday 15 March, Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Thursday 18 March and Afterpay Arena in Sydney on Saturday 20 March 2027.
The jump in scale is real. On her first Australian tour in September 2022 she played the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, the Forum in Melbourne and The Tivoli in Brisbane; in February 2025 she came back on the Laneway Festival circuit. In 2027 she headlines the country’s big indoor arenas, after Pylon debuted at number 1 on the Australian albums chart in September 2026.
Tickets have been on sale since Thursday 10 September 2026. No New Zealand date had been announced as of 9 October 2026, and the Australian shows are a short stop between the European leg of the tour, which ends in December 2026, and an Asian leg that begins a few days after Sydney.
beabadoobee announced Pylon on 24 June 2026 and The Powerlines Tour with it. The album came out on 18 September 2026 on Dirty Hit, with guest appearances from Chino Moreno, Hayley Williams and Brendan Yates, and with “Sun Has Set”, “Switchblade” and “Memories” as singles. It went to number 1 in both the United Kingdom and Australia.
The tour has four legs and 43 shows in total. North America comes first, in October 2026, followed by thirteen European dates from 14 November to 7 December 2026 across the UK, Scandinavia, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Australia is the third leg, and Asia the last: nine shows from 23 March to 13 April 2027 in South Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines, with the tour ending on 13 April 2027.
The Australian routing runs north to south and then up the coast: Brisbane on a Monday night, Melbourne three days later on Thursday 18 March, and Sydney on Saturday 20 March 2027. There is one night in each city, and no Perth or Adelaide show had been added as of 9 October 2026, although she played both cities at Laneway in February 2025.
No support act for the Australian dates had been named as of 9 October 2026. New Zealand fans should note that Auckland, where she played the Powerstation in 2022 and Western Springs in 2025, is not on the current itinerary; if a date is added it will appear on this page.
The Brisbane Entertainment Centre at Boondall, in the city's north, opened on 20 February 1986 and holds up to 14,500 for concerts. It will host Olympic handball during the Brisbane 2032 Games.
Opened on 11 January 1988 as the National Tennis Centre at Flinders Park, Rod Laver Arena is the main court of the Australian Open at Melbourne Park. It was the first arena in Australia with a retractable roof and seats about 14,800 for tennis.
Built for the 2000 Olympics at Sydney Olympic Park, the arena opened on 6 November 1999 as the Sydney SuperDome and was later known as Acer Arena, Allphones Arena and Qudos Bank Arena. It has carried the Afterpay Arena name since July 2026 and holds up to about 21,000 with floor seating.
Monday 15 March 2027 — Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Brisbane. In Brisbane, the last documented beabadoobee concert was at Brisbane Showgrounds (8 February 2025). The tour starts here.
Thursday 18 March 2027 — Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne. In Melbourne, the last documented beabadoobee concert was at Good Better Best (14 February 2025).
Saturday 20 March 2027 — Afterpay Arena, Sydney. In Sydney, the last documented beabadoobee concert was at Centennial Park (9 February 2025). This venue closes the tour.
beabadoobee’s first headline tour of Australia and New Zealand came in September 2022, two months after Beatopia was released. It opened at the Powerstation in Auckland on 7 September, then moved to the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on 9 September, the Forum Theatre in Melbourne on 10 September and The Tivoli in Brisbane on 11 September 2022. Four nights in five days, all in the classic mid-sized rooms that independent and alternative acts use on their first proper visit.
Those 2022 shows used one fixed set of 17 or 18 songs, opening with “Worth It” and “Together” from Fake It Flowers and moving through “Charlie Brown”, “Care”, “Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene”, “He Gets Me So High”, “See You Soon”, “The Perfect Pair”, “Sun More Often”, “Sorry” and “She Plays Bass”. The Australian nights included “Back to Mars”, which was dropped in Auckland, and every show finished with “Coffee” and “Cologne”.
The second visit, in February 2025, was larger and outdoors. Between 6 and 16 February 2025 she played Western Springs Stadium in Auckland, the Brisbane Showgrounds, Sydney, Melbourne, Bonython Park in Adelaide and Wellington Square in Perth, the same six cities and dates as that year’s Laneway Festival. They are the first Adelaide and Perth shows in the archive.
In Sydney at the end of that run she also recorded a short session for the national youth broadcaster, playing “Beaches” and “Sway”; studio sessions like this are not included in the concert table below.
So far there have been ten public concerts in the archive: four club and theatre shows in 2022 and six festival sets in 2025. The 2027 arena dates are her first headline concerts in Australia since September 2022, and her first headline shows in arenas here.
The table below lists 10 documented Australia/NZ concerts by beabadoobee between 2022 and 2025, with the most shows in Melbourne (2), Sydney (2), Brisbane (2), Auckland (2), Perth (1), Adelaide (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Across the 10 most recent documented Australia/NZ concerts with a full song list (7 September 2022 to 16 February 2025), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
beabadoobee’s festival history in this part of the world is the 2025 Laneway Festival run: Auckland’s Western Springs on 6 February, the Brisbane Showgrounds on 8 February, Sydney on 9 February, Melbourne on 14 February, Bonython Park in Adelaide on 15 February and Wellington Square in Perth on 16 February 2025. Her sets ran to 15 or 16 songs, opening with “California” and ending with “She Plays Bass” and “Cologne”.
The 2027 dates are her own headline shows; no Australian or New Zealand festival appearance had been announced as of 9 October 2026.
Beatrice Kristi Ilejay Laus was born in Iloilo City in the Philippines on 3 June 2000 and moved to the United Kingdom with her parents at the age of three. She grew up in West London, studied the violin for seven years and taught herself guitar at 17. The first song she wrote on it was “Coffee”, released in 2017 together with a cover of Karen O’s “The Moon Song”; it drew the attention of Dirty Hit, which signed her in 2018.
Between 2018 and 2021 she released five EPs, Lice, Patched Up, Loveworm, Space Cadet and Our Extended Play, and toured as a support act for Clairo and for her labelmates the 1975. In 2020 a sample of “Coffee” became the hook of Powfu’s “Death Bed (Coffee for Your Head)”, a TikTok hit that reached number 5 in both Australia and New Zealand. The same year she won the Radar Award at the NME Awards and was nominated for the Rising Star Award at the Brits.
Her debut album Fake It Flowers (October 2020) was followed by Beatopia (July 2022), which included “The Perfect Pair” and reached number 19 in Australia. “Glue Song”, released on Valentine’s Day 2023 and later re-recorded with Clairo, charted in several countries, and she opened twelve US shows of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in 2023.
This Is How Tomorrow Moves (August 2024) was her first UK number 1 and reached number 6 in Australia, with “California”, “Real Man”, “Beaches” and “Take a Bite”. Pylon (September 2026) then topped both the British and the Australian charts. One curiosity for fans of the older acts on this site: in 2019 she recorded a cover of Simple Minds’ “Don't You (Forget About Me)” as a Spotify single.
| Album | Year | AUS chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| Fake It Flowers | 2020 | AUS 96 |
| Beatopia | 2022 | AUS 19 |
| This Is How Tomorrow Moves | 2024 | AUS 6 |
| Pylon | 2026 | AUS 1 |
In September 2022 beabadoobee played the Enmore Theatre in Newtown, one of Sydney’s best-known theatres for touring bands. Four and a half years later she returns to Sydney at Afterpay Arena in Sydney Olympic Park, the former Qudos Bank Arena, which can hold around 21,000 with floor seating.
Melbourne follows the same pattern: from the Forum Theatre on Flinders Street in 2022 to Rod Laver Arena at Melbourne Park in 2027. In Brisbane, The Tivoli in Fortitude Valley gives way to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre at Boondall. The step up reflects what happened in between: a UK number 1, an Australian top-ten album and then an Australian number 1 with Pylon.
Pylon is the first beabadoobee album to top the Australian chart. Her previous peaks were 96 for Fake It Flowers, 19 for Beatopia and 6 for This Is How Tomorrow Moves, a steady climb that runs alongside her touring history here.
Australia has been receptive to her since the start. “Death Bed (Coffee for Your Head)”, built on her first song, reached number 5 on the ARIA singles chart in 2020, two years before she played a show in the country.
The three Australian dates fall within six days. Brisbane opens on Monday 15 March 2027, Melbourne follows on Thursday 18 March, and Sydney closes the leg on Saturday 20 March, the only weekend night of the three.
For fans who want to travel, the gaps are workable: two clear days between Brisbane and Melbourne and one between Melbourne and Sydney. All three venues are served by public transport: Boondall station for the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Richmond and the Flinders Street area for Melbourne Park, and Olympic Park station in Sydney.
As of 9 October 2026 the Australian leg has only three dates and there is no New Zealand show. That is different from 2022, when the tour opened at the Powerstation in Auckland, and from 2025, when the Laneway run covered Auckland, Adelaide and Perth.
Auckland, Perth and Adelaide fans should treat the current itinerary as the full plan unless new dates are announced. This page does not list any show that has not been confirmed, and it will be updated if anything is added.
Her 2025 festival sets in Australia and New Zealand ran to 15 or 16 songs. They opened with “California”, “Talk” and “10:36”, moved through “Charlie Brown”, “Post”, “Take a Bite”, “Sunny Day”, “Ever Seen”, “The Perfect Pair”, “Real Man”, “One Time”, “Beaches” and “Care”, and closed with “She Plays Bass” and “Cologne”; “Glue Song” appeared in Melbourne and Perth.
The 2022 headline shows were longer and leaned on Beatopia and Fake It Flowers, with “Coffee” played near the end of every night.
The 2027 arena shows are built around Pylon, so “Sun Has Set”, “Switchblade” and “Memories” are likely to sit alongside older favourites. The North American and European legs of The Powerlines Tour, which take place before the Australian dates, will give the best guide to the final running order; no Australian set list had been published as of 9 October 2026.
Tickets for Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney have been on sale since Thursday 10 September 2026 through the official outlets for each arena and the venues’ own box offices. Any presale period is over, and remaining tickets are on general sale.
There is no public beabadoobee presale code to buy or share, and codes or “guaranteed” tickets advertised on social media are not genuine. Arena tickets in Australia are usually mobile tickets linked to the buyer’s account; if a night sells out, use the official resale service attached to the original seller rather than a stranger’s listing.
If a New Zealand show, a Perth or Adelaide date or a second night in any city is announced, it will appear on this page. Sign up below for the alert.
