Bryson Tiller headlines arenas in Australia and New Zealand for the first time in January 2027 on The Neo Trapsoul Tour, with Majid Jordan as special guest. Five dates are confirmed: RAC Arena in Perth on Tuesday 19 January, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne on Thursday 21 January, Afterpay Arena in Sydney on Saturday 23 January, the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Monday 25 January and Spark Arena in Auckland on Wednesday 27 January 2027.
His previous visits came through festivals. In 2017 he played Listen Out, with sideshows at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall and the Forum in Melbourne; in March 2024 he was on the Souled Out bill, the R&B festival headlined by Summer Walker. The 2027 dates are his own headline concerts, built around the tenth anniversary of his debut album Trapsoul.
Tickets have been on sale since Friday 5 June 2026. The Australian and New Zealand leg is the last part of a 61-date world tour that started in the United States in August 2026 and then crosses the UK and Europe from November 2026.
Bryson Tiller announced The Neo Trapsoul Tour in early June 2026 as a 61-date world tour. It celebrates ten years of Trapsoul, the 2015 debut that made his name, and follows his double album Solace & The Vices. The North American leg began on 27 August 2026, UK and European dates start on 17 November 2026, and the tour ends with the Australian and New Zealand run in January 2027.
The routing starts in the west. Perth’s RAC Arena opens the leg on Tuesday 19 January, followed two days later by an outdoor night at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, the only open-air venue on the run, on Thursday 21 January. Sydney gets the Saturday, 23 January, at Afterpay Arena in Sydney Olympic Park (formerly Qudos Bank Arena), and Brisbane follows on Monday 25 January, the night before the Australia Day public holiday. Auckland’s Spark Arena closes the tour on Wednesday 27 January 2027.
Majid Jordan, the R&B duo from Toronto, open every Australian and New Zealand show. They are a natural pairing: both acts came up in the mid-2010s in the moody, late-night strand of R&B associated with Toronto and with Drake, who offered Tiller a deal on his OVO Sound label before he signed with RCA.
Each city has one show, and no second nights had been added as of 9 October 2026. There is no Adelaide date on the itinerary, and in New Zealand only Auckland is confirmed.
Perth's main indoor arena opened as Perth Arena on 10 November 2012 with an Elton John concert, and took the RAC Arena name in September 2018. It holds up to 15,000 for concerts and stands on Wellington Street in the CBD, near the site of the old Perth Entertainment Centre.
Melbourne's outdoor amphitheatre in Kings Domain was opened by Prime Minister Robert Menzies on 12 February 1959. Its tensile canopy covers 2,030 fixed seats, with sloping lawns behind, for a capacity of about 10,000; it is listed on both the Victorian Heritage Register and the Australian National Heritage List.
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.
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.
Auckland's largest indoor arena opened on 24 March 2007 as Vector Arena and was renamed Spark Arena in April 2017. It holds about 13,000 people and sits in Quay Park, a short walk from Britomart station.
Tuesday 19 January 2027 — RAC Arena, Perth. In Perth, the last documented Bryson Tiller concert was at Claremont Showground (31 March 2024). This is the opening night of the run.
Thursday 21 January 2027 — Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Melbourne. The artist's most recent documented Melbourne show was at Caribbean Gardens on 29 March 2024.
Saturday 23 January 2027 — Afterpay Arena, Sydney. In Sydney, the last documented Bryson Tiller concert was at Parramatta Park (22 March 2024).
Monday 25 January 2027 — Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Brisbane. In Brisbane, the last documented Bryson Tiller concert was at Victoria Park (1 October 2017).
Wednesday 27 January 2027 — Spark Arena, Auckland. In Auckland, the last documented Bryson Tiller concert was at The Trusts Arena (28 March 2024). This venue closes the tour.
Bryson Tiller first came to Australia in September 2017, a few months after True to Self had debuted at number 1 in the United States. He was on the bill of the Listen Out festival, which that year played Catani Gardens in St Kilda on Saturday 23 September, HBF Arena in Perth on Sunday 24 September, Centennial Park in Sydney on Saturday 30 September and Victoria Park in Brisbane on Sunday 1 October 2017.
Between the festival dates he played two headline sideshows. The first was at the Forum Theatre in Melbourne on Wednesday 27 September; the second, and the better documented, was at the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House on Friday 29 September 2017. That Opera House set ran to 20 songs, from the “Rain on Me” intro through “Self-Made”, “Exchange”, “Somethin Tells Me”, “Wild Thoughts” and “Rambo”, to “Don't” and “Set It Off” at the end.
Nearly seven years passed before his return. In March 2024 he came back on the Souled Out festival, which played Parramatta Park in Sydney on Friday 22 March, Doug Jennings Park on the Gold Coast on Saturday 23 March and Caribbean Gardens in Melbourne on Friday 29 March 2024, with Summer Walker at the top of the bill and PartyNextDoor and Smino among the other acts.
The same week the archive also lists him at The Trusts Arena in Auckland on Thursday 28 March 2024, his first New Zealand show, and at Claremont Showground in Perth on Sunday 31 March 2024, where his short set included “Still Yours”, “Inhale”, “Sorry Not Sorry”, “Rambo” and “Don't”.
So the record is eleven concerts in Australia and New Zealand, almost all of them festival sets. The 2027 tour reverses that: five full-length headline shows, four of them in arenas, and his first Brisbane appearance since Victoria Park in 2017.
The table below lists 11 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Bryson Tiller between 2017 and 2024, with the most shows in Melbourne (3), Sydney (3), Perth (2), Auckland (1), Gold Coast (1), Brisbane (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Across the 2 most recent documented Australia/NZ concerts with a full song list (29 September 2017 to 31 March 2024), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Bryson Tiller has played two Australian festival tours. In 2017 he was part of Listen Out, alongside Future, Mac Miller, Little Simz, Pnau and others, at Catani Gardens in Melbourne, HBF Arena in Perth, Centennial Park in Sydney and Victoria Park in Brisbane.
In March 2024 he returned with Souled Out, an R&B festival headlined by Summer Walker, playing Parramatta Park in Sydney, Doug Jennings Park on the Gold Coast and Caribbean Gardens in Melbourne. The 2027 tour has no festival dates: all five shows are his own concerts.
Bryson Djuan Tiller was born on 2 January 1993 in Louisville, Kentucky. His mother died when he was four and he was raised by his grandmother; he started singing and rapping at 15 and released his first mixtape, Killer Instinct Vol. 1, in 2011. After the birth of his daughter he stepped away from music for a time, working at Papa John's and UPS.
In October 2014 he uploaded “Don't” to SoundCloud. The song spread online, drew support from Timbaland and Drake, and after turning down Drake’s OVO Sound he signed with RCA Records in August 2015. “Don't” reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Trapsoul, released on 2 October 2015, reached the US top ten and was certified triple platinum, with “Exchange” earning a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Song. In 2016 he won the BET Awards for Best New Artist and Best Male R&B/Pop Artist, and Louisville gave him the key to the city.
True to Self (2017) debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 and reached number 12 in Australia. The same year he featured with Rihanna on DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts”, a number 2 hit in the US and number 1 in the UK, which he performed with them at the 2018 Grammy Awards. Anniversary (2020), released on the fifth anniversary of his debut, reached number 11 in Australia.
His self-titled fourth album came out in 2024, with the triple-platinum “Whatever She Wants”, a top-20 Hot 100 single, and the double album Solace & The Vices followed in 2025. He has four Grammy nominations, two of them for his work with H.E.R. on “Could've Been” and Back of My Mind.
| Album | Year | AUS chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| Trapsoul | 2015 | — |
| True to Self | 2017 | AUS 12 |
| Anniversary | 2020 | AUS 11 |
| Bryson Tiller | 2024 | AUS 49 |
| Solace & The Vices | 2025 | — |
Melbourne is the odd one out on this tour: instead of Rod Laver Arena, Bryson Tiller plays the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Kings Domain on Thursday 21 January 2027. The Bowl opened in 1959, has a canopy over 2,030 fixed seats and sloping lawns behind, and holds about 10,000 people.
A January date makes sense for an open-air venue, and it is his third outdoor setting in Melbourne after Catani Gardens in 2017 and Caribbean Gardens in 2024. Lawn areas are general admission, so arriving early matters for a good view.
The Neo Trapsoul Tour is framed around the tenth anniversary of Trapsoul, which came out on 2 October 2015. Australian fans who first heard “Don't” and “Exchange” then will get a show built around those songs, a decade after the album’s release.
His only full headline set in Australia so far, at the Sydney Opera House in 2017, already leaned heavily on that album: “Sorry Not Sorry”, “Exchange”, “Rambo”, “502 Come Up”, “Overtime”, “Been That Way” and “Don't” were all in it.
New Zealand gets one date, Wednesday 27 January 2027 at Spark Arena in Auckland, the last night of the whole world tour. It will be his first show at Spark Arena.
His only previous New Zealand concert in the archive was at The Trusts Arena in Henderson, West Auckland, on 28 March 2024. No Wellington or Christchurch date had been announced as of 9 October 2026.
Sydney’s show on Saturday 23 January is at Afterpay Arena in Sydney Olympic Park, the biggest indoor room on the tour. He has played Sydney four times before, at Centennial Park, the Opera House Concert Hall and Parramatta Park, but never in an arena.
Brisbane comes two days later, on Monday 25 January at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall, and Perth opens the leg on Tuesday 19 January at RAC Arena in the CBD. Perth fans last saw him at Claremont Showground in March 2024 and, before that, at HBF Arena in Joondalup in 2017.
Bryson Tiller’s Sydney Opera House show in September 2017 gives the best picture of his headline set in Australia: 20 songs, built around Trapsoul and True to Self, with “Wild Thoughts” and “Set It Off” included. His 2024 festival sets were much shorter; at Claremont Showground in Perth the archive records five songs, ending with “Don't”.
The Neo Trapsoul Tour is a full-length anniversary show, so the Trapsoul material is expected to be central, with songs from his later albums likely alongside it. The North American and European legs, which come first, will show the final running order; no Australian set list had been published as of 9 October 2026.
Majid Jordan open each night. Set times are usually posted by the venue in the week of the concert.
Tickets for all five shows have been on sale since Friday 5 June 2026 through the official outlets for each venue and at the venues’ box offices. Any presale period is long over, and remaining tickets are on general sale.
There is no public Bryson Tiller presale code to buy or share, and codes or “guaranteed” tickets advertised on social media are not genuine. Most arena tickets in Australia and New Zealand are mobile tickets tied to the buyer’s account, so tickets from strangers can fail at the door; if a show sells out, use the official resale service attached to the original seller. In Melbourne, check whether your ticket is for a reserved seat under the canopy or for the lawn.
If a second night or a new city is added, it will appear on this page. Sign up below for the alert.
