Bliss n Eso Australia Tour 2027

Bliss n Eso have not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no national tour, New Zealand run or festival booking for next year on the public record. The Sydney trio's last full national tour was the Party on the Moon Tour, which crossed the country from May to August 2025 in support of The Moon (The Light Side).

Since then the group have released The Moon (The Dark Side), brought forward a week to 26 September 2025, and kept playing shows through 2026, from Taronga Zoo in Sydney in March to Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Saturday 1 August 2026. None of those dates were part of a new headline tour, and nothing has been announced beyond them.

This page explains what is and is not known for 2027 and gives a detailed account of Bliss n Eso's concerts in Australia and New Zealand, from their earliest New Zealand shows in 2006 to the 28 dates of Party on the Moon, along with their festival history, their most played songs and advice on buying tickets when the next tour arrives.

Bliss n Eso Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about a Bliss n Eso tour in 2027. The Party on the Moon Tour opened at the Powerhouse in Toowoomba on Friday 23 May 2025 and ended at Magnums in Airlie Beach on Saturday 16 August 2025, with Melbourne rapper Ivan Ooze on every date. It was followed by the release of the second half of the Moon project in September 2025.

The group's 2026 appearances in the setlist archive include Taronga Zoo in Sydney on 6 March, the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne on 15 March, WAREHOUSE in Perth on 20 March, three arena dates in late March at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Rod Laver Arena and Qudos Bank Arena, the Hotel Brunswick in Brunswick Heads, Sandstone Point Hotel near Moreton Bay and Suncorp Stadium in August. The archive does not say whose event the arena and stadium nights belonged to, so this page does not describe them as Bliss n Eso headline shows.

Bliss n Eso have toured each album extensively, usually within a few months of release, and the double Moon project has already had its national tour. Whether a new run follows in 2027 has not been announced. Until it is, treat any list of 2027 dates, 'leaked' venues or presale codes offered online with suspicion, and sign up for the alert on this page.

Before the Bliss n Eso Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

Bliss n Eso built their audience the hard way, on national tours that grew album by album. According to Wikipedia, they toured nationally in March and April 2006 for Day of the Dog, and in April 2008 launched Flying Colours with a tour alongside True Live, Funkoars and the Winnie Coopers. In September 2008 a sold-out national tour ended with a homecoming show at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney for about 2,500 people. In December 2005 they had supported 50 Cent, G-Unit and Lil Jon on the Get Rich or Die Tryin' tour.

In 2009 they announced their largest Australian tour yet, including two shows at Festival Hall in Melbourne; the first sold out in four days, making it, Wikipedia says, the fastest-selling Australian hip-hop show to that date, with a capacity of 5,100. On 14 March 2009 they were the only hip-hop act at Sound Relief, the bushfire benefit at the MCG in front of 82,000 people. Running on Air was followed in 2010 by the sold-out Down by the River tour, and April and May 2014 brought what was then their biggest national tour, for Circus in the Sky.

New Zealand has been part of their story since at least 2006: the setlist archive lists the WestpacTrust Centre in Christchurch on Friday 10 February 2006 and Queens Wharf Event Centre in Wellington two days later. The Off the Grid Tour of 2017 returned with five New Zealand shows, at Neck of the Woods in Auckland on Thursday 27 July, Meow in Wellington, Winnibagoes in Christchurch and two nights at the World Bar in Queenstown, after Tasmanian dates at Club 54 in Launceston and Macquarie Wharf 2 in Hobart. They were back at QPS Park in Queenstown in September 2022.

The years after the pandemic were busy. Early 2022 brought Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane, Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast in January, then three nights at the Forum Theatre in Melbourne in February with shows in Torquay and at the Pier Hotel in between, and the Enmore Theatre in Sydney in March. On Friday 17 June 2022 they played Fortitude Music Hall in a show billed as Strings Attached, and late 2022 took them to the Governor Hindmarsh in Adelaide, 170 Russell in Melbourne, the Tivoli in Brisbane, the Metro Theatre in Sydney and Metropolis Fremantle.

October 2023 brought a short theatre run with two nights each at 170 Russell, the Uni Bar in Hobart, the Metro Theatre and the Tivoli, plus Fremantle and Adelaide. The Metro set of 20 October 2023 followed the running order of Flying Colours, from 'The Beginning' and 'Woodstock 2008' through 'Eye of the Storm', 'Bullet and a Target' and 'Happy in My Hoody' to 'Field of Dreams'.

Party on the Moon in 2025 was one of the widest tours of their career: 28 dates from Toowoomba, Brisbane, Byron Bay and the Gold Coast to Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Tamworth, Adelaide, Perth, Dunsborough, Newcastle, Gosford, Barwon Heads, the Pier Hotel and the Forum in Melbourne, Wollongong, Canberra, the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Friday 11 July, Penrith, Wodonga, two nights in Echuca, Moruya, Townsville, Mackay, Hobart City Hall, two nights at the Bridge Hotel in Forth, Jindabyne, the Sunshine Coast and Airlie Beach.

The table below lists 107 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Bliss n Eso between 2006 and 2026, with the most shows in Melbourne (20), Brisbane (9), Sydney (9), Forth (4), Hobart (4), Gold Coast (4). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Bliss n Eso Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Bliss n Eso are MC Bliss (Jonathan Notley, born in the United States and in Australia since 1992), MC Eso (Max MacKinnon) and DJ Izm (Tarik Ejjamai). Bliss and Eso met at school in Sydney and Eso met Izm at Mosman High School. First known as Bliss n Esoterikizm, they released the EP The Arrival in 2000 and their debut album, Flowers in the Pavement, on Obese Records in 2004.

Day of the Dog (2006) debuted at No. 45, the first Australian hip-hop release to debut in the ARIA top 50. Flying Colours (2008), with 'Bullet and a Target', 'Eye of the Storm', 'The Sea Is Rising' and 'Woodstock 2008', reached No. 10, spent more than a year in the charts and won the ARIA Award for Best Urban Release.

Running on Air (2010) was their first No. 1 album, and Circus in the Sky (2013) and Off the Grid (2017) also debuted at No. 1. The single 'Moments' won the ARIA Award for Best Video. In March 2012 they played their first headline tour of the US and Canada, 22 shows on the West Coast in under a month.

The Sun (2021) reached No. 2, led by singles including 'Lighthouse', 'Send It', 'Good People' and 'OG's'. In 2025 the group released a two-part project: The Moon (The Light Side), which reached No. 1, and The Moon (The Dark Side), which reached No. 3. They are signed to the Melbourne label Mushroom Music.

Bliss n Eso Australia Tour 2027: a tour that reached the regions

Party on the Moon showed how far Bliss n Eso are willing to travel. Alongside the capitals it went to Dunsborough in Western Australia, Barwon Heads on the Bellarine, Wodonga and Echuca on the Murray, Moruya on the New South Wales south coast, Tamworth, Mackay, Airlie Beach and Jindabyne in the Snowy Mountains.

Tasmania was given three dates, at Hobart City Hall and two nights at the Bridge Hotel in Forth. That pattern dates back years: the Bridge Hotel also hosted two nights in May 2024, and Launceston and Hobart opened the Off the Grid tour in 2017. No regional dates have been announced for 2027.

Bliss n Eso Australia Tour 2027: Sydney, the home city

Sydney is where the group formed, and the city has hosted many of their landmark nights: the homecoming at the Enmore Theatre in September 2008, a DVD filmed at the Metro Theatre for Flying Colours Live, two Metro nights in October 2023 and the Enmore again on 11 July 2025, when they played 18 songs including a medley of 'Zion Bash', 'Family Affair' and 'Home Is Where the Heart Is'.

In 2026 Sydney saw them at Taronga Zoo on Friday 6 March and at Qudos Bank Arena on 28 March. Nothing has been announced for Sydney in 2027.

Bliss n Eso Australia Tour 2027: Melbourne and the Forum

Melbourne has been a strong market since the record-breaking Festival Hall shows of 2009. The Forum Theatre hosted three nights in February 2022 and another on 28 June 2025 during Party on the Moon, the night after the Pier Hotel in Frankston.

The city has also seen them at Birrarung Marr, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, 170 Russell, Caribbean Gardens and, in March 2026, the Royal Botanic Gardens and Rod Laver Arena.

Bliss n Eso Australia Tour 2027: Auckland, Wellington and the South Island

New Zealand has seen Bliss n Eso less often than Australia, but more often than many Australian hip-hop acts. The 2006 shows in Christchurch and Wellington were followed in July 2017 by Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and two nights in Queenstown on the Off the Grid tour, and a return to Queenstown in September 2022.

No New Zealand dates were part of Party on the Moon, and none have been announced for 2027.

Bliss n Eso Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

A Bliss n Eso headline show usually runs to between 16 and 19 songs, with DJ Izm given his own scratch break. On Party on the Moon the Newcastle set at NEX on 20 June 2025 opened with 'Take Me Higher' and 'Tear the Roof Off', ran through 'Act Your Age', 'Feeling Fly', 'On One', 'Get Your Boof On', 'Reflections', 'The Ultimate', 'Vacation', 'Been Through Hell', '3AM' and 'I Am Somebody', and closed with 'Moments', 'OG's', 'Chemical Heart (GEED UP)', 'The Sea Is Rising', 'My Life' and 'Addicted'.

Across the Australian and New Zealand shows in the setlist archive, 'Moments' is the most played song, followed by 'The Sea Is Rising', 'Addicted', 'Act Your Age' and 'My Life'. Shorter festival sets, like the six songs at Caribbean Gardens in March 2024, are built from the same hits.

Special shows have broken the pattern: the Strings Attached night in Brisbane in June 2022 included 'Believe', 'Dopamine', 'Pale Blue Dot' and 'Friend Like You', and the October 2023 theatre dates revisited Flying Colours track by track.

Bliss n Eso Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no Bliss n Eso tickets on sale for 2027, because no concerts have been announced in Australia or New Zealand. Any website already selling seats or offering a presale code for a 2027 show is not official.

When the next tour is announced, tickets will be sold through the official outlets named in the announcement and, for many regional shows, through the venue box office. Pre-sales for fans on the official mailing list usually come before the general sale. Mobile tickets are often name-locked, so buy from an official outlet and use the authorised resale option if you can no longer attend. Avoid anyone selling 'presale codes'.
