Belinda Carlisle is saying goodbye to Australia in March 2027. The G'Day & Goodbye tour, announced as her farewell run of Australian dates, opens at Fremantle Prison on Wednesday 3 March 2027 and ends with two nights at The Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on 19 and 20 March.
In between she plays two nights at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne (Friday 5 and Saturday 6 March) and two at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney (Friday 12 and Saturday 13 March). That is seven shows in four cities, all of them weekend nights apart from the Fremantle opener. No New Zealand dates are part of the tour.
Australia has been one of Carlisle's most loyal markets since the late 1980s, when Heaven on Earth and Runaway Horses both went top five here. She has toured the country regularly since 2011, often well beyond the capital cities, and the farewell run brings her back to the theatres where she played her most recent shows in September and October 2024. Tickets have been on sale since Thursday 27 November 2025.
The G'Day & Goodbye tour was announced in late November 2025, with tickets on sale from Thursday 27 November 2025. Press coverage of the announcement presented it as the last time Carlisle will tour Australia, with a set covering four decades of hits, from her solo records back to her years as the singer of the Go-Go's.
The run is short and concentrated on the four biggest east- and west-coast markets. Western Australia comes first, at Fremantle Prison on Wednesday 3 March. Melbourne follows with a Friday and Saturday at the Palais Theatre on 5 and 6 March, Sydney has the same pattern a week later at the Enmore Theatre on 12 and 13 March, and Brisbane closes the tour at The Fortitude Music Hall on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 March 2027.
Compared with her 2019 tour, which took in thirteen shows including Bendigo, Coffs Harbour, Canberra and several leagues and RSL clubs, the farewell tour leaves out the regional and club circuit and keeps to theatres in the capitals. Adelaide, Canberra and Newcastle, all regular stops in the past, are not on the 2027 list as of 9 October 2026.
No support act had been announced as of 9 October 2026. Carlisle released her ninth album, Once Upon a Time in California, in August 2025, so the 2027 shows will be the first Australian dates since that record came out.
Fremantle Prison was built by convict labour between 1851 and 1859 and served as a jail until 1991, when it was replaced by Casuarina Prison. It sits on about 15 hectares in Fremantle, south-west of central Perth, and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2010 as one of the Australian Convict Sites.
The Palais Theatre on the Lower Esplanade in St Kilda opened in 1927 and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. With 2,896 seats it is described as the largest seated theatre in Australia, behind a Spanish Baroque-style facade and a neoclassical interior.
The Enmore Theatre on Enmore Road in Newtown, in Sydney's inner west, opened in 1912 and was remodelled in Art Deco style in 1937. It holds about 1,700 seated or 2,500 standing and is the longest-running live theatre in Sydney.
The Fortitude Music Hall opened in July 2019 on the Brunswick Street Mall in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. It holds about 3,000 people standing and was built to fill the gap for a mid-sized concert hall in the city.
Wednesday 3 March 2027 — Fremantle Prison, Perth. The artist's most recent documented Perth show was at Astor Theatre on 18 September 2024. The tour starts here.
Friday 5 March 2027 — Palais Theatre, Melbourne. 2 nights are booked at Palais Theatre; this is number 1. The artist's previous show at this venue was on 21 September 2024.
Friday 12 March 2027 — Enmore Theatre, Sydney. 2 nights are booked at Enmore Theatre; this is number 1. Belinda Carlisle last played Enmore Theatre on 30 September 2024.
Friday 19 March 2027 — The Fortitude Music Hall, Brisbane. Night 1 of 2 at this venue. In Brisbane, the last documented Belinda Carlisle concert was at The Tivoli (6 October 2024). The run finishes here.
Carlisle's first Australian dates in the setlist.fm archive come from November 2003, on the Here and Now package of 1980s acts that also featured the Human League. The bill played arenas: the Burswood Dome in Perth on 6 November, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on 8 November, Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on 10 November, the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 15 November and the Sydney Entertainment Centre on 17 November. Her slot was short; in Sydney she sang "Summer Rain", "Our Lips Are Sealed" and "Heaven Is a Place on Earth". A few months later, on 28 February 2004, she played the Mission Estate Winery in Napier, her only New Zealand show in the archive.
From 2011 she began touring Australia in her own right, mostly in clubs and hotels. February 2011 took in Wests New Lambton in Newcastle, Selina's at the Coogee Bay Hotel in Sydney, the Viking Club in Canberra and Twin Towns Services Club at Tweed Heads. A year later she was back for the Shoppingtown Hotel and Chelsea Heights Hotel in Melbourne, Newcastle, Panthers Port Macquarie, Castle Hill RSL and Selina's in Sydney, and the Astor Theatre in Perth on 17 March 2012.
In November and December 2013 she played the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel in Adelaide, Chelsea Heights, Twin Towns and the Enmore Theatre in Sydney. In 2016 the route included Rooty Hill RSL, Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide, the Eatons Hill Hotel in Brisbane, Newcastle, the Southern Cross Club in Canberra and an outdoor show at the Royal Melbourne Zoological Gardens on 12 March.
The 2019 tour was her longest in the archive. It opened at the Astor Theatre in Perth on 19 February and continued through the Governor Hindmarsh in Adelaide, The Cube and the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, Castle Hill RSL, the Southern Cross Club in Canberra, the Ulumbarra Theatre in Bendigo, the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on 2 March, Newcastle, C.ex Coffs in Coffs Harbour, Twin Towns, The Tivoli in Brisbane and finally The Palms at Crown in Melbourne on 11 March.
Her most recent Australian visit, listed as the Decades Tour, came in September and October 2024. It began at the Astor Theatre in Perth on 18 September, then went to the Palais Theatre in Melbourne for two nights (20 and 21 September), the Civic Theatre in Newcastle, Anita's Theatre in Wollongong, two nights at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney (29 and 30 September), Twin Towns at Tweed Heads and two nights at The Tivoli in Brisbane on 5 and 6 October.
In all, the archive lists more than forty Australian concerts and one in New Zealand. The Palais and the Enmore, both on the farewell tour, have each hosted her several times; Fremantle Prison and The Fortitude Music Hall will be new rooms for her in 2027.
The table below lists 50 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Belinda Carlisle between 2003 and 2024, with the most shows in Sydney (11), Melbourne (9), Brisbane (5), Newcastle (5), Tweed Heads (4), Perth (4). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Concert data: setlist.fm
Across the 15 most recent documented Australia/NZ concerts with a full song list (23 February 2019 to 6 October 2024), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Carlisle's Australian concerts have almost all been her own shows or package tours such as Here and Now in 2003. The few outdoor dates in the archive are the Royal Melbourne Zoological Gardens in March 2016 and the Mission Estate Winery in Napier in February 2004; the data does not name the event series behind them.
The 2027 farewell dates are all headline concerts. No festival appearance in Australia or New Zealand had been announced as of 9 October 2026.
Belinda Jo Carlisle was born in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on 17 August 1958, the eldest of seven children, and grew up in the San Fernando Valley and later Thousand Oaks. In 1977 she was briefly the drummer of the punk band the Germs under the name Dottie Danger, though illness meant she never played a show with them. She then co-founded the Go-Go's with Jane Wiedlin; with Charlotte Caffey, Kathy Valentine and Gina Schock, they became the first all-female band who wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to top the US album chart, with Beauty and the Beat in 1981.
After the Go-Go's split in 1985, Carlisle went solo. Belinda (1986) gave her "Mad About You", a top-ten hit in Australia. Heaven on Earth (1987) was her breakthrough worldwide: "Heaven Is a Place on Earth", with a video directed by Diane Keaton, went to number one in the United States and Britain, and "I Get Weak" and "Circle in the Sand" followed. The album was a top-five bestseller in Australia and the UK.
Runaway Horses (1989) was certified double platinum in Australia, with "Leave a Light On" a top-five hit here and "Summer Rain" reaching number six; "La Luna" was also a top-20 hit in Australia. "Live Your Life Be Free" reached number 13 in Australia in 1991, and the compilation The Best of Belinda, Volume 1 went platinum here. Real (1993) and A Woman & a Man (1996), the latter released first in the UK and Australia, kept her career going outside America.
Carlisle later recorded Voila (2007), an album of French songs, and Wilder Shores (2017), a set of Gurmukhi chants, while touring with the reformed Go-Go's until the band's split in 2022. The Go-Go's were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021. In 2023 she returned to English-language pop with the Diane Warren-written EP Kismet and the single "Big Big Love", followed by the album Once Upon a Time in California in August 2025. She has been sober since 2005 and wrote about her life in the bestselling memoir Lips Unsealed (2010).

| Runaway Horses | 1989 | — |
| Live Your Life Be Free | 1991 | AUS 27 |

The tour title says it plainly. When the dates were announced in November 2025, they were presented as the last time Belinda Carlisle will tour Australia, a thank-you to an audience that bought her records in large numbers from "Mad About You" onwards and kept coming to her shows long after her American chart run ended.
That loyalty shows in the touring record. Between 2011 and 2024 she played Australia in six separate years, sometimes for a dozen shows or more, reaching Newcastle, Wollongong, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Bendigo, Canberra and the Gold Coast border at Tweed Heads as well as the capitals. The farewell tour is smaller, but every city gets a full evening of hits.
As always with farewell tours, nothing rules out one-off appearances later, but as of 9 October 2026 the March 2027 shows are announced as her last Australian tour.
The opening night is the most unusual setting of the run. Fremantle Prison, built by convict labour between 1851 and 1859 and closed as a jail in 1991, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2010 as one of the Australian Convict Sites.
Carlisle's previous Western Australian shows were all indoors at the Astor Theatre in Mount Lawley, in 2012, 2019 and 2024, and at the Burswood Dome on the 2003 Here and Now bill. The prison date, on Wednesday 3 March 2027, is her only Western Australian show this time.
Each of the three east-coast cities gets a Friday and Saturday pair. In Melbourne that means the Palais Theatre in St Kilda on 5 and 6 March, a room she knows well: she played there in March 2019 and twice in September 2024.
Sydney's shows are at the Enmore Theatre in Newtown on 12 and 13 March. The Enmore has been her Sydney base since 2013, with two nights in September 2024. Brisbane's pair, on 19 and 20 March, moves from The Tivoli, where she played in 2019 and twice in 2024, to the larger Fortitude Music Hall in Fortitude Valley.
For fans in Newcastle, Wollongong, the Gold Coast or Canberra, who had local shows on earlier tours, the nearest 2027 dates are the Sydney and Brisbane nights.
The G'Day & Goodbye run is an Australian tour only. Carlisle's single New Zealand show in the archive is the Mission Estate Winery in Napier on 28 February 2004, and no New Zealand date had been announced for 2027 as of 9 October 2026.
New Zealand fans wanting to see the farewell show will need to cross the Tasman; Brisbane and Sydney are the shortest flights from Auckland. If a New Zealand date is added, we will update this page.
Carlisle's recent Australian shows have run to about 19 or 20 songs, mixing her solo hits with Go-Go's songs. She is known for performing barefoot on stage. On the 2024 Decades Tour the set was almost identical from night to night: it opened with "(We Want) The Same Thing", "Do You Feel Like I Feel?" and "Big Big Love", the Diane Warren song from the Kismet EP.
The middle of those sets ran through "In Too Deep", "Should I Let You In?", "Circle in the Sand", "I Get Weak", "La Luna", "Vision of You", "Summer Rain" and "Valentine", with the Go-Go's classic "Our Lips Are Sealed" and "Mad About You" leading into "Leave a Light On" and "Heaven Is a Place on Earth". The encore was "Runaway Horses", "Big Scary Animal", "We Got the Beat" and "Live Your Life Be Free"; on 30 September 2024 at the Enmore she added "A Woman and a Man".
Across every Australian set list in the archive, "Heaven Is a Place on Earth", "Leave a Light On", "Runaway Horses", "(We Want) The Same Thing", "Circle in the Sand" and "I Get Weak" are the most played songs. A farewell tour billed as covering four decades is likely to keep that core, and songs from Once Upon a Time in California may join it.
Tickets for all seven G'Day & Goodbye shows have been on sale since Thursday 27 November 2025, through the official ticket outlet for each venue and the venues' own box offices. Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane each have two nights, so check that the date on your ticket matches the night you plan to attend.
There is no public presale code to buy or share for this tour. Codes and "guaranteed" tickets advertised on social media are not genuine. For a sold-out night, use the official resale service attached to the original seller; tickets are usually mobile and name-locked, so a screenshot or PDF from a stranger is a real risk.
