Calvin Harris returns to Australia in February 2027 with eleven outdoor shows in four cities. The run opens at Langley Park in Perth on Wednesday 17 February 2027 and closes at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on Sunday 28 February, with Brisbane and a five-night stand in Sydney in between. There are no New Zealand dates on the announced schedule.
The scale says a lot about how the Scottish DJ and producer is received here. Every original date sold out on Thursday 24 September 2026, the day of the general sale, and a second Perth show was added for Wednesday 17 February. Sydney gets five consecutive nights at The Domain, from Saturday 20 to Wednesday 24 February, which is more than any other city on the run.
Australia has been part of Harris's story since his first single. Wikipedia notes that "Acceptable in the 80s" and "The Girls" did well in Europe and Australia before his debut album came out, and "How Deep Is Your Love" gave him his first number one on the ARIA singles chart in 2015. This page sets out the 2027 dates, the history of his Australian and New Zealand shows since 2008, and what to know about tickets.
The 2027 run is billed simply as the Calvin Harris Australia Tour. It is a sequence of large outdoor shows in parks, showgrounds and a racecourse rather than an arena tour, which matches the way Harris has played Australia for most of his career: in the open air, in summer, in front of festival-sized crowds.
The route goes west to east. Perth comes first, with Langley Park on Wednesday 17 and Thursday 18 February. Brisbane follows on Friday 19 February at the RNA Showgrounds in Bowen Hills. Sydney then has The Domain for five nights in a row, Saturday 20, Sunday 21, Monday 22, Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 February. Melbourne closes the tour at Flemington Racecourse on Thursday 25, Friday 26 and Sunday 28 February, with a break on the Saturday.
Sales moved fast. The Telstra pre-sale ran on Monday 21 September 2026 and the artist pre-sale on Wednesday 23 September, and when general tickets were released on Thursday 24 September every date sold out. The extra Perth show on Wednesday 17 February went on sale on Tuesday 29 September 2026 at 12:00 local time. As of 9 October 2026 that is the full schedule: eleven Australian shows, no New Zealand date and no regional city announced.
No support acts had been published as of 9 October 2026, and set times are normally confirmed by the venues closer to the show. Outdoor shows of this size have their own conditions of entry (age limits, bags, re-entry), so check the venue rules for your date before you travel.
Langley Park is a long grassed reserve on Riverside Drive at the edge of Perth's central business district, roughly 900 by 100 metres, created by reclaiming land from the Swan River between 1921 and 1935. Aviator Norman Brearley used it as an airstrip in the 1920s, and it has since hosted the Red Bull Air Race, Skyworks and Cirque du Soleil.
The Brisbane Showgrounds in Bowen Hills, just north of the city centre, are run by the Royal National Agricultural and Industrial Association of Queensland and are best known as the home of the annual Royal Queensland Show, the Ekka. The open grounds and main arena are regularly used for large outdoor concerts and dance events.
The Domain is a large public open space on the eastern edge of Sydney's central business district, next to the Royal Botanic Garden and the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Set aside in the early years of the colony, it has long been used for public gatherings and open-air concerts, including events of the Sydney Festival.
Flemington Racecourse sits beside the Maribyrnong River in the inner north-west of Melbourne and is the home of the Melbourne Cup, run there since 1861. Its lawns and track surrounds can hold crowds of more than 100,000, and the site is also used for large outdoor music events.
Wednesday 17 February 2027 — Langley Park, Perth. 2 nights are booked at Langley Park; this is number 1. The artist's most recent documented Perth show was at Claremont Showground on 4 December 2022. The tour starts here.
Friday 19 February 2027 — RNA Showgrounds, Brisbane. The artist's most recent documented Brisbane show was at Brisbane Showgrounds on 29 November 2019.
Saturday 20 February 2027 — The Domain, Sydney. This is show 1 of the 5-night stand here. Calvin Harris last played The Domain on 1 January 2009.
Thursday 25 February 2027 — Flemington Racecourse, Melbourne. This is show 1 of the 3-night stand here. Calvin Harris last played Flemington Racecourse on 26 November 2022. This venue closes the tour.
setlist.fm first places Calvin Harris in Australia in February 2008, the year after his debut album I Created Disco. That month he played The Hi-Fi in Melbourne on 8 February, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on 9 February, Doug Jennings Park on the Gold Coast on 10 February, The Forum in Sydney on 14 February, Centennial Park on 16 February and Heirisson Island in Perth on 17 February. It was a mix of club rooms and summer park shows, a pattern he would repeat for years.
He came back over the New Year of 2009: The Domain in Sydney and the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne on 1 January, Doug Jennings Park on the Gold Coast on 3 January, The Esplanade in Perth on 4 January, and his first New Zealand date at Vector Arena in Auckland on 10 January. In January 2010 he travelled the country again, from Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland on 15 January to the Boiler Room on the Gold Coast, the Riverstage in Brisbane, the Metro Theatre and the Boiler Room in Sydney, Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on 26 January, the Royal Adelaide Showgrounds and Claremont Showground in Perth on 31 January.
In 2011 he played arenas for the first time, as the support act on the Australian leg of Rihanna's Last Girl on Earth Tour: the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 25 February, Acer Arena in Sydney on 4 March and Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on 8 March, with Newcastle Panthers on 2 March and the Prince Bandroom in Melbourne on 13 March around them. Wikipedia also records that he played the Sydney Mardi Gras Party on 5 March 2011. That summer ended with New Year shows at Bondi Beach on 31 December 2011 and Hyde Park in Sydney, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne on 1 January 2012 and Sir James Mitchell Park in Perth on 3 January.
From late 2010 the dates move to late spring and the showgrounds: Commonwealth Place in Canberra, Claremont Showground in Perth and the Brisbane Showgrounds in November and December 2010; Commonwealth Park in Canberra, Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland and the Brisbane Showgrounds in late 2012; the Brisbane Showgrounds again on 7 December 2013; and the Sydney Showground and Brisbane Showgrounds in November and December 2014. In 2019 he played Spark Arena in Auckland on 28 November, then the Brisbane Showgrounds, the Sydney Showground and the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds over the following three days.
His most recent Australian visit was in late 2022: Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on 26 November, Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast on 27 November, Bonython Park in Adelaide on 2 December, the Sydney Showground on 3 December and Claremont Showground in Perth on 4 December. The 2027 dates are therefore his first in Australia for a little over four years, and Flemington and The Domain are both venues he has played before.
The table below lists 49 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Calvin Harris between 2008 and 2022, with the most shows in Sydney (12), Melbourne (9), Brisbane (7), Perth (6), Gold Coast (4), Auckland (4). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Concert data: setlist.fm
Across the 3 most recent documented Australia/NZ concerts with a full song list (19 January 2010 to 2 December 2022), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Many of Harris's Australian and New Zealand dates were festival appearances, although setlist.fm does not name the events. The clearest case is New Zealand: on 30 December 2011 he played Waiohika Estate near Gisborne, the home of the Rhythm and Vines New Year festival. Wikipedia also notes that he took part in a global live stream of the Stereosonic festival in Melbourne on World AIDS Day, 1 December 2012.
The 2027 run is different. All eleven shows are his own headline concerts, not festival slots, which is why the venues are parks, showgrounds and a racecourse rather than arenas.
Calvin Harris is the stage name of Adam Richard Wiles, born on 17 January 1984 in Dumfries, Scotland. He began recording bedroom demos as a teenager, stacked supermarket shelves and worked in a fish processing factory to pay for equipment, and was signed in 2006 after his songs drew attention on Myspace. His debut album I Created Disco (2007) was written, produced and performed entirely by him on an Amiga computer.
Ready for the Weekend (2009) went to number one in the UK, and its single "I'm Not Alone" was his first UK number one. The real breakthrough came with 18 Months (2012), which topped the UK chart, reached number 5 in Australia and broke the record for the most top ten singles from one album in the UK, with nine. That run included "We Found Love" with Rihanna, "Feel So Close", "Sweet Nothing" and "I Need Your Love".
Motion (2014) reached number 3 in Australia, the best album peak of his career here, and the following year "How Deep Is Your Love" with Disciples became his first ARIA number-one single. "This Is What You Came For" with Rihanna also topped the Australian chart in 2016. He then turned to funk and pop with Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 (2017), which reached number 5 in Australia, and its sequel Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 (2022).
His later singles include "One Kiss" with Dua Lipa and "Miracle" with Ellie Goulding, and in 2024 he released the compilation 96 Months. Harris has won Brit Awards and a Grammy for Best Music Video, topped Forbes' list of the world's highest-paid DJs for six years in a row from 2013 to 2018 and, according to Wikipedia, drew a Guinness-certified crowd of 1.6 million people for a DJ set in São Paulo on 8 February 2026.
| Album | Year | AUS chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| I Created Disco | 2007 | — |
| Ready for the Weekend | 2009 | AUS 39 |
| 18 Months | 2012 | AUS 5 |
| Motion | 2014 | AUS 3 |
| Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 | 2017 | AUS 5 |
| Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 | 2022 | AUS 30 |
Sydney has five shows in a row at The Domain, from Saturday 20 to Wednesday 24 February 2027. That is almost half of the whole tour in one park, and more Sydney dates than on any of his previous visits listed by setlist.fm.
The Domain is not new to him. setlist.fm lists a show there on 1 January 2009, during his New Year run, when he was still promoting I Created Disco. He has also played Centennial Park, Hyde Park, Bondi Beach, the Metro Theatre, The Forum, Acer Arena and the Sydney Showground in the city.
Three of the five nights fall on weekdays: Monday 22, Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 February. If you are travelling from outside Sydney, weekday shows often leave more choice in accommodation than the Saturday and Sunday.
Melbourne closes the tour at Flemington Racecourse, home of the Melbourne Cup, on Thursday 25, Friday 26 and Sunday 28 February 2027. There is no show on Saturday 27 February.
Harris has played Flemington twice before according to setlist.fm: on Australia Day, 26 January 2010, and on 26 November 2022, when he opened his last Australian run there. The 2022 Melbourne set listed on setlist.fm runs from "Blame" and "I Need Your Love" through "One Kiss", "Feel So Close" and "Summer" to "How Deep Is Your Love" and "Promises".
Other Melbourne venues in his history are The Hi-Fi, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl (three times), Rod Laver Arena, the Prince Bandroom and the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds.
Western Australia opens the tour, and it is the only city that grew after the sale. The original Perth date at Langley Park was Thursday 18 February 2027; after every show sold out on 24 September 2026, a second Langley Park date was added for Wednesday 17 February and went on sale on 29 September.
Perth has been a regular stop for Harris: Heirisson Island in 2008, The Esplanade in 2009, Claremont Showground in 2010 and again in 2022, and Sir James Mitchell Park in 2012. Langley Park, on the river foreshore by the city centre, is a new venue for him.
Brisbane gets one date, Friday 19 February 2027 at the RNA Showgrounds. Harris knows the site well: setlist.fm lists him at the Brisbane Showgrounds in 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2019. His other Brisbane venues were the Riverstage in 2010 and the Brisbane Entertainment Centre with Rihanna in 2011.
Adelaide is not on the 2027 schedule, even though he played the Royal Adelaide Showgrounds in 2010 and Bonython Park in 2022. The Gold Coast, Canberra and Newcastle, all past stops, are also absent.
New Zealand has no 2027 date as of 9 October 2026. His New Zealand shows so far were Vector Arena in Auckland in 2009, Mount Smart Stadium in 2010 and 2012, Waiohika Estate near Gisborne at New Year 2011 and Spark Arena in Auckland in 2019.
A Calvin Harris show is a DJ set, not a band concert, and the running order changes from night to night. Even so, the setlist.fm entries from his 2022 Australian run show what to expect. In Adelaide on 2 December 2022 the listed set ran to 23 tracks, opening with "C.U.B.A" and moving through "Blame", "I Need Your Love", "This Is What You Came For", "Outside", "Giant", "One Kiss", "How Deep Is Your Love", "Promises", "Slide", "Feel So Close", "Summer", "Under Control", "We Found Love" and "Sweet Nothing", with Benny Benassi's "Satisfaction" in the mix.
Across the Australian and New Zealand sets on setlist.fm, the tracks that come up most are "Blame" and "Feel So Close", followed by "One Kiss", "Summer" and "How Deep Is Your Love". Earlier sets from 2010 and 2011 included "Ready for the Weekend", "The Rain", "I'm Not Alone" and "Flashback", from the years when he still sang his own songs on stage.
The 2027 shows are open-air headline concerts, so expect a full production with lights and screens rather than a festival slot of an hour. Exact running times and set lengths had not been published as of 9 October 2026.
The pre-sales for this tour are over. The Telstra pre-sale ran on 21 September 2026 and the artist pre-sale on 23 September; the general sale opened on Thursday 24 September 2026 and every original date sold out that day. The only date released afterwards, Perth on Wednesday 17 February 2027, went on sale on Tuesday 29 September at 12:00 local time and is the one to check first.
For the sold-out nights, use only the official ticket outlet for each venue or the venue box office. Official resale through the original seller, when it is offered, is the safe way to buy a ticket someone else can no longer use; tickets for shows like these are often mobile and tied to the buyer's name.
There is no presale code to buy. Codes, "guaranteed" tickets and cheap offers on social media for a sold-out tour should be treated as scams. If more tickets are released or another date is added, it will be announced through the official channels; sign up below for the alert.
