Jebediah Australia Tour 2027

Jebediah have not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no 2027 tour, no list of cities and no on-sale information. Their most recent show in the setlist archive was a home-town night at Freo.Social in Fremantle on Saturday 3 October 2026, a year after the 30 Odyears Tour took them around the country in October and November 2025.

The Perth band, formed in 1994 by school friends Kevin Mitchell, Chris Daymond and Vanessa Thornton, with Kevin's brother Brett Mitchell on drums from 1995, were one of the defining Australian guitar bands of the late 1990s. 'Jerks of Attention', 'Leaving Home', 'Harpoon' and 'Animal' made them regulars on Triple J and at the Big Day Out, and the band themselves have described touring almost without a break from 1996 to 2005. Kevin Mitchell is also known for his solo work as Bob Evans.

This page explains what is and is not known about Jebediah's 2027 plans and gives an account of their concerts in Australia and New Zealand: the Auckland stadium shows of 1999 and 2003, the co-headline tour with You Am I in 2019, the Gum Up the Bearings Tour of 2023, the long run of 2024 after the album Oiks, and the 30 Odyears Tour of 2025.

Jebediah Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official Jebediah tour of Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No dates, venues or support acts have been published for next year, and the band do not appear among the 2027 tour announcements made so far for the region. Any list of Jebediah 2027 dates, or any 'presale code' for them, should be treated as unconfirmed until the band announce a tour.

The band's last full tour was the 30 Odyears Tour, whose name plays on the title of their debut album, Slightly Odway, three decades after the band formed. It opened at the Lion Arts Factory in Adelaide on Thursday 16 October 2025 and played Altar in Hobart, the Croxton Park Hotel in Melbourne, the Triffid in Brisbane, the Factory Theatre in Sydney and the Baso in Canberra before finishing with two nights at the Rosemount Hotel in Perth on 31 October and 1 November 2025.

Their most recent album is Oiks, released in April 2024 via Cooking Vinyl Australia, which reached number 38 on the ARIA chart. The 2026 archive so far holds only the Freo.Social show in October. No new album or tour has been announced since, and this page will not guess at dates or cities.

Before the Jebediah Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

Jebediah played their first gig in May 1995 at a Leeming Senior High School formal at the Perth Sheraton Hotel, covering Green Day, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and The Smashing Pumpkins plus one original. Later that year they won the national final of the National Campus Band Competition in Lismore, which earned them an opening slot on the Summersault festival bill with the Beastie Boys, Foo Fighters and Sonic Youth. After signing to Murmur in 1996 they toured nationally with Snout and Automatic.

Wikipedia records a busy run of support slots in those years: Soundgarden, Everclear, The Presidents of the United States of America, Silverchair and You Am I, and the Australian leg of The Smashing Pumpkins' tour in May 1998. After Of Someday Shambles the band toured Canada, the US and New Zealand. The setlist archive holds two New Zealand dates, both at Ericsson Stadium in Auckland, on Friday 15 January 1999 and Friday 17 January 2003. No later New Zealand show is on record.

In June 2005 Jebediah launched a 10th anniversary tour built mainly on B-sides and rarities requested by fans, then took an indefinite break. They returned at the Rollercoaster 07 Music Carnival on the Western Foreshore in Mandurah on 29 December 2007 and played sold-out shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in September 2008. After Kosciuszko in 2011 they toured nationally and regionally from Broome to Mount Hotham, and in 2012 they played the Rock Lily at the Star in Sydney and the Ascot racecourse in Perth. In June 2015 the 20th anniversary tour paired a set of favourites with Slightly Odway in full.

The detailed record starts in 2019. The You Am I & Jebediah 2019 tour opened at the Dunsborough Tavern on Friday 4 October and ran through Fremantle, Perth, Hobart, the Pier Bandroom in Melbourne, Ipswich, Maroochydore, the Gold Coast, Redland Bay, Emerald, Gladstone, Airlie Beach, Townsville and Canberra, followed by more dates in Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, Kingscliff, Castlemaine and Melbourne in November and December 2019.

The Gum Up the Bearings Tour, after the band's first single in over a decade, played the Lion Arts Factory in Adelaide on Saturday 4 November 2023, the Zoo in Brisbane, the Gershwin Room at the Esplanade Hotel in Melbourne, Crowbar in Sydney and the Rechabite in Perth on Friday 17 November. The 2024 run that followed Oiks began at the Cleveland Sands Hotel at Redland Bay on Thursday 4 July and visited the Gold Coast, the Triffid, Adelaide, Fremantle, Perth, LABEL. and the Manning Bar in Sydney, Newcastle, Torquay, Melbourne, Coffs Harbour, Tuncurry, Wollongong, Gosford, Canberra, Darwin, Launceston, Forth and the Goods Shed in Hobart.

Since the 30 Odyears Tour of 2025, the only show in the archive is the Freo.Social night of 3 October 2026. Freo.Social had also hosted the band on the 2019 tour with You Am I and in July 2024.

The table below lists 101 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Jebediah between 1999 and 2026, with the most shows in Melbourne (13), Perth (9), Sydney (9), Brisbane (7), Adelaide (6), Newcastle (5). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Jebediah Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

Wikipedia credits Jebediah's appearances at Homebake and the Big Day Out with building their national profile in 1997, and the band played their second Big Day Out tour at the start of 2000. The two Ericsson Stadium dates in Auckland in January 1999 and January 2003 are their only New Zealand shows in the archive. In 2011 they played Splendour in the Grass during the Kosciuszko tour.

In recent summers they have played many of the one-day outdoor events that crisscross Australia: Bonython Park in Adelaide and the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in 2021, Kings Park and Burswood Park in Perth in 2022, Footscray Park in Melbourne on New Year's Eve 2022, three city shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane from 1 to 3 December 2023, and in 2025 Launceston's City Park, Sandstone Point, Speers Point Park in Newcastle, Whitfords Nodes Park in Perth, Torquay Common and Mornington Racecourse.

Jebediah Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Jebediah formed in Perth in 1994, while Kevin Mitchell, Chris Daymond and Vanessa Thornton were students at Leeming Senior High School; Brett Mitchell replaced the original drummer Almin Fulurija in early 1995. The name comes from Jebediah Springfield, the fictional founder of the town in The Simpsons. They signed to Murmur, a Sony subsidiary, in April 1996 and issued the Twitch EP that August, followed by 'Jerks of Attention' in December.

Slightly Odway (1997), produced by Neill King, reached number 7, spent 54 weeks in the top 50 and went double platinum; 'Leaving Home' was number 10 in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 1997. In 1998 the band shared the Harpoon EP with their Murmur label-mates Something for Kate, each covering the other. Of Someday Shambles (1999), produced by Mark Trombino, reached number 2, their highest-charting album, and its single 'Animal' reached number 16, their best singles placing.

The self-titled third album, produced by Magoo, came out in March 2002 and reached number 8. After the compilation Glee Sides and Sparities in 2003 the band left Sony and released Braxton Hicks (2004) on their own Redline Records. They went on hiatus at the end of 2005, while Kevin Mitchell continued as Bob Evans and later formed the Basement Birds with Kavyen Temperley, Josh Pyke and Steve Parkin.

Kosciuszko (2011), on Dew Process, reached number 6 and gave them 'She's Like a Comet'. The compilation Twenty followed in 2015. In September 2023 'Gum Up the Bearings' became their first new single in over a decade, and the band were inducted into the WAM Hall of Fame that November. Their sixth album, Oiks, came out on 12 April 2024. Jebediah have won eight West Australian Music Industry Awards.

Jebediah Australia Tour 2027: Perth and Fremantle, home ground

Jebediah are a Perth band through and through, and Western Australia appears again and again in their live history. The 30 Odyears Tour ended with two nights at the Rosemount Hotel in Perth, and the archive also lists the Rechabite, Carine Glades Tavern, Freo.Social, Red Hill Auditorium, Kings Park, Burswood Park, Whitfords Nodes Park, Fremantle Park and the Dunsborough Tavern.

Their WA reach goes well beyond the city too: Busselton on New Year's Day 2020, Castelli Winery in Denmark in February 2020, and, in Wikipedia's account, a regional tour in 2011 that started in Broome. The latest show of all, at Freo.Social on 3 October 2026, was in Fremantle.

Jebediah Australia Tour 2027: the pub-rock circuit

Few bands of Jebediah's era have embraced Australia's suburban and regional pubs so fully. In 2019 the tour with You Am I went to the Racehorse Hotel in Ipswich, the Wharf Tavern in Maroochydore, the Emerald Star Hotel, the Harvey Road Tavern in Gladstone, Magnums Hotel at Airlie Beach and the Dalrymple Hotel in Townsville.

The 2024 run continued the pattern with the Cleveland Sands Hotel, the Bellevue Hotel at Tuncurry, the Hoey Moey in Coffs Harbour, Drifter's Wharf in Gosford, the Chelsea Heights Hotel and York on Lilydale in Melbourne, the Nudgee Beach Hotel in Brisbane and the Whitsunday Sailing Club at Airlie Beach.

Jebediah Australia Tour 2027: a long wait for New Zealand

New Zealand has seen little of Jebediah. Wikipedia mentions tours there around Of Someday Shambles, and the setlist archive holds just two shows, both at Ericsson Stadium in Auckland, in January 1999 and January 2003; at the 2003 show 'Leaving Home' is the only song on record.

None of the band's tours since the 2011 reunion has crossed the Tasman, and no New Zealand date is announced for 2027.

Jebediah Australia Tour 2027: Slightly Odway at thirty

Slightly Odway was released on 8 September 1997, so it turns 30 in September 2027. The band have marked earlier anniversaries on stage: the 2015 tour played it in full, and the 2025 tour's name, 30 Odyears, played on the title.

Whether there will be a 2027 anniversary tour has not been announced. Until the band say so, there are no dates to report.

Jebediah Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

Jebediah's headline sets run to about 18 or 19 songs. On the 30 Odyears Tour the set opened with 'Smiler', 'Benedict' and 'Animal', moved through 'In Orbit', 'Trapdoor', 'Please Leave', 'Motivation', 'Weekend Away', 'She's Like a Comet', 'Nothing Lasts Forever', 'Puckdefender', 'Run of the Company' and 'Star Machine', and closed with 'Leaving Home', 'Fall Down', 'Harpoon', 'Military Strongmen' and 'Jerks of Attention'.

The Oiks shows of 2024 mixed new songs such as 'Rubberman' and 'Gum Up the Bearings' with older ones like 'Control', 'Loaded Gun', 'Yesterday When I Was Brave' and 'April Slumber'. At Freo.Social on 3 October 2026 the 15-song set started with 'Lino' and 'Gum Up the Bearings' and ended with 'Spoil the Show', 'Leaving Home' and 'Jerks of Attention'.

Festival sets are shorter, typically 9 to 13 songs, and almost always include 'Leaving Home', 'Harpoon', 'Animal', 'Fall Down', 'She's Like a Comet' and 'Jerks of Attention'.
