Eminem has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no tour, stadium date or festival booking in either country, and no promoter has published venues or a sale timetable.
When he has come, it has been on a huge scale. His Australian and New Zealand history runs from two arena shows in July 2001, through the stadium dates of the Recovery Tour in December 2011, to the two Rapture tours of February 2014 and February and March 2019, which filled stadiums in Auckland, Wellington, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Perth. Published box office figures list every Oceania show of Rapture 2014 as sold out.
This page explains what is and is not known about 2027 as of 9 October 2026, then goes through every Eminem concert in Australia and New Zealand in the record, the set lists, the venues and his chart history in both countries.
There is no official information about Eminem concerts in Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No dates, venues, support acts or sale dates have been announced, and nothing in the verified lists used by this site points to Eminem shows anywhere in 2027.
His most recent album is The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), released on 12 July 2024, which became his eleventh number one on the US Billboard 200 and also went to number one in Australia. It was not followed by a world tour. His live appearances listed since 2019 have been one-off performances rather than tours: 'Lose Yourself' at the Academy Awards in February 2020, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in October 2021, the Super Bowl LVI halftime show in February 2022, which won a Primetime Emmy, and the opening of the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.
In July 2025 he announced Stans, a documentary about his career told through the eyes of his most devoted fans, and in November 2025 he appeared in a time-limited mission of the video game Hitman: World of Assassination. Neither came with concert dates.
Eminem has always toured Australia in short, concentrated bursts, typically three to five stadium shows in about ten days. If that happens again, this page will be updated with dates, venues and sale times as soon as they are official. Until then, any '2027 Australia tour' listing or 'presale code' is not genuine, and the alert sign-up below is the way to hear first.
Eminem's first Australian concerts came in July 2001, at the height of the fame brought by The Marshall Mathers LP, which had reached number one in Australia the year before. The concert archive lists two arena shows: Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Thursday 26 July 2001 and the Sydney SuperDome on Friday 27 July 2001. No set list survives in the archive for either night. Wikipedia also notes that, because of lyrics criticised as homophobic, an Australian politician once attempted to have him banned from the country.
He did not return for a decade. The Recovery Tour, which had begun with European festival headline slots in 2010, was extended in 2011 to three stadium shows in Australia, with Lil Wayne as the Australian opening act. Eminem played Etihad Stadium in Melbourne on Thursday 1 December 2011 and the Sydney Football Stadium on Friday 2 December, and a second Sydney Football Stadium date on Sunday 4 December was added when the tour was extended.
The Rapture Tour of 2014 was put together by the Australian promoter TEG Dainty in support of The Marshall Mathers LP 2, and its first shows were announced for Australia and New Zealand on 22 October 2013. Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and Action Bronson were on the bill, and on the Oceania dates local rappers 360 and David Dallas also joined. It opened at Western Springs Stadium in Auckland on Saturday 15 February 2014, then played Etihad Stadium in Melbourne on Wednesday 19 February, Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Thursday 20 February and ANZ Stadium in Sydney on Saturday 22 February.
Published box office figures show every one of those four shows as sold out: 52,444 tickets in Auckland, 51,335 in Melbourne, 43,927 in Brisbane and 53,649 in Sydney, more than 200,000 people across the Oceania leg. Reviews were strong: The Guardian called it a 'half-day showcase of top-notch hip-hop talent', and the New Zealand Herald described the Auckland show as breathless, exhilarating and seriously loud.
Rapture returned in 2019 for a second Oceania run, and this time it went further. The archive lists the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre (QSAC) in Brisbane on Wednesday 20 February 2019, ANZ Stadium in Sydney on Friday 22 February, the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday 24 February and Optus Stadium in Perth on Wednesday 27 February, before a final show at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Saturday 2 March 2019. Perth and Wellington were new Eminem cities, and the MCG show was his first at Australia's largest stadium.
Those 2019 dates are, as of 9 October 2026, his last concerts in Australia and New Zealand. Counting from 2001, the archive lists 14 shows across the two countries: 12 in Australia and two in New Zealand, with Sydney the most visited city at five concerts.
The table below lists 14 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Eminem between 2001 and 2019, with the most shows in Sydney (5), Melbourne (4), Brisbane (2), Wellington (1), Perth (1), Auckland (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Across the 12 most recent documented Australia/NZ concerts with a full song list (1 December 2011 to 2 March 2019), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born on 17 October 1972 and grew up largely in Detroit. After an independent debut album, Infinite (1996), and the Slim Shady EP (1997), he signed with Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and broke through with The Slim Shady LP in 1999, which reached number 49 in Australia. He was also a member of D12 and later formed the duo Bad Meets Evil with Royce da 5'9".
The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) and The Eminem Show (2002) each sold more than a million copies in a single week in the US, and both went to number one in Australia. The Eminem Show was the best-selling album in the world in 2002. That year he starred in 8 Mile, and 'Lose Yourself' spent 12 weeks at number one in the US and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, the first time a hip-hop act had won it.
After Encore (2004) he stepped back, in part because of an addiction to prescription drugs and the death of his friend Proof. He returned with Relapse (2009) and Recovery (2010), the best-selling album worldwide in 2010. Every studio album since then, The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2013), Revival (2017), Kamikaze (2018), Music to Be Murdered By (2020) and The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) (2024), has debuted at number one in the US.
In Australia, every Eminem studio album from The Marshall Mathers LP onwards has reached number one, ten in a row. With estimated sales of more than 220 million records, he is the best-selling rapper of all time and one of the best-selling artists in history. He co-founded Shady Records, set up the Sirius XM channel Shade 45 and opened the restaurant Mom's Spaghetti in Detroit.

Every Eminem tour of Australia since 2011 has been a stadium tour played in the southern summer: early December in 2011, mid to late February in 2014 and late February into early March in 2019. That timing fits the football off-season, when the big rectangular and oval grounds are free for concerts.
The venues have been the largest in each city: Etihad Stadium and then the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, the Sydney Football Stadium and then ANZ Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park, Suncorp Stadium and QSAC in Brisbane, and Optus Stadium in Perth, which had opened in 2018.
A few of those names have since changed: Etihad Stadium is now Marvel Stadium, ANZ Stadium is now Accor Stadium, and the 1988 Sydney Football Stadium was demolished and replaced by a new stadium on the same site. The table on this page uses the names in use on the night.
New Zealand has had two Eminem concerts. The first was the opening night of Rapture 2014 at Western Springs Stadium in Auckland on 15 February 2014, sold out with 52,444 tickets. David Dallas, the Auckland rapper, was on the Oceania bill.
The second was the closing night of Rapture 2019, at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on 2 March 2019. The archive lists a 32-song set, the same running order used across the 2019 Australian dates. Westpac Stadium has since been renamed Sky Stadium.
Eminem has never played Christchurch or Dunedin according to the records used here, and he has not been back to New Zealand since 2019.
Sydney has hosted five of Eminem's 14 Australian and New Zealand concerts: the SuperDome in 2001, two nights at the Sydney Football Stadium in 2011, and ANZ Stadium in both 2014 and 2019. In 2011 it was the only city to get two nights, after a second date was added on 4 December.
Melbourne comes next with four shows, at Rod Laver Arena, Etihad Stadium twice and the MCG. Brisbane has had two, Perth and Wellington one each, and Auckland one.
Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart and Darwin have never had an Eminem concert in the record. His Australian tours have stuck to the four or five biggest stadium markets.
By 9 October 2026, seven and a half years will have passed since the Wellington show that closed Rapture 2019. That is shorter than the ten-year gap between 2001 and 2011, but the circumstances are different: Eminem has released three studio albums in that time without touring any of them.
His live work since 2019 has been event-driven, built around award shows, the Super Bowl halftime show and a handful of other appearances. No 2027 tour of any kind has been announced.
If Rapture or a new tour were ever announced for Australia and New Zealand, past experience suggests it would be stadium-sized, sold through official outlets with presales, and announced several months ahead. Nothing of the kind exists yet.
Eminem's Australian and New Zealand shows have been long, fast sets drawing on his whole career. In 2011 the archive lists 26 songs, opening with 'Won't Back Down', '3 a.m.' and 'Square Dance' and ending with 'Love the Way You Lie', 'I Need a Doctor', 'My Name Is', 'The Real Slim Shady', 'Without Me', 'Not Afraid' and 'Lose Yourself'.
The Rapture 2014 set ran to 28 songs, opening with 'Survival' and including 'Rap God', 'Berzerk', 'Stan', 'Sing for the Moment', 'Like Toy Soldiers' and 'The Monster' before the same closing run ending in 'Lose Yourself'. In 2019 it grew to 32 songs, opening with 'Greatest' and adding the Kamikaze songs 'Lucky You' and 'Fall', Revival's 'Walk on Water' and 'River', and 'Rainy Days', still finishing with 'Not Afraid' and 'Lose Yourself'.
Across the 12 shows in the archive with set lists, 'Won't Back Down', '3 a.m.', 'Square Dance', 'Kill You', 'Stan', 'Love the Way You Lie', ''Till I Collapse', 'My Name Is', 'The Real Slim Shady' and 'Lose Yourself' were played every night.
There are no Eminem tickets on sale for Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. Any site selling seats or offering a 'presale code' for 2027 dates is not official.
For his past Australian tours, dates were announced months ahead, and the 2011 tour was extended with a second Sydney stadium date. If a tour is announced, buy only through the official ticket outlet named for each stadium or from the venue box office, expect name-linked mobile tickets, and be careful with anyone selling codes.
