Kasey Chambers Australia Tour 2027

Kasey Chambers has not announced an Australian or New Zealand tour for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no confirmed headline tour, theatre run or festival appearance for 2027 on record, and no presale has been scheduled.

She remains one of the busiest live performers in Australian country music. In the first five months of 2026 alone the setlist archive logs outdoor shows from Batemans Bay and Warrnambool to Newcastle, the Gold Coast, Werribee Park in Melbourne, Bella Vista Farm in Sydney, Launceston, Brisbane, Mornington, Hervey Bay and Perth, ending at the Sandstone Point Hotel in Moreton Bay on 23 May 2026. The year before brought the Backbone Tour, built around her 2024 album Backbone.

This page explains what is and is not known about 2027, then follows Kasey Chambers on stage across Australia and New Zealand: the theatre tours, the country festivals in the bush and the outback, the long shared summer bills and the songs that close almost every night. It also covers her albums, five of which went to No. 1, and practical advice for when tickets go on sale.

Kasey Chambers Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official Kasey Chambers tour of Australia or New Zealand for 2027. No city, venue, festival or sale date has been announced. A website that already lists 2027 dates or sells 'presale codes' is not working from an official announcement.

Her recent pattern makes a quiet year unlikely, but the details always come from her own announcements. In 2025 she played her own theatre and club dates, from the Odeon Theatre in Hobart and the EVAN Theatre in Penrith to The Palms at Crown in Melbourne and The Tivoli in Brisbane, and festival sets at Bluesfest in Byron Bay, the Mundi Mundi Bash near Silverton and events in Deniliquin and Mareeba. In 2026 she joined a long run of outdoor shows that crossed five states between January and May.

Backbone, released in October 2024, is still her newest album. A follow-up has not been announced, and neither has a tour for a new record. When she does announce dates, she has tended to add regional towns as well as the capitals, so readers outside Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane should keep an eye on announcements too.

Until there is an official announcement, the honest answer is that there are no confirmed 2027 shows. Signing up for the alert on this page is the simplest way to hear when that changes.

Before the Kasey Chambers Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

Kasey Chambers learned to perform on the road. Born in Mount Gambier in 1976, she spent much of her childhood travelling the Nullarbor Plain with her parents, and from 1987 she sang in the family group that became the Dead Ringer Band, touring country halls and festivals until the late 1990s. As a solo artist she supported Emmylou Harris on the Australian leg of Harris's tour around the time of The Captain, and she later played the Wave Aid concert in Sydney in January 2005 and Sound Relief at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in March 2009.

The setlist archive for Australia and New Zealand begins in earnest in 2019. That spring she toured theatres and halls: Lismore City Hall on 19 September 2019, Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane, Southport RSL on the Gold Coast, Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide on 4 October, Anita's Theatre in Wollongong, the EVAN Theatre in Penrith, Bathurst, two nights at The Giant Dwarf in Sydney on 24 and 25 October, then Darwin Entertainment Centre, the Tanks Arts Centre in Cairns and Townsville Civic Theatre at the end of November.

Early 2020 brought Taronga Zoo in Sydney, the Athenaeum in Melbourne on 11 March and Birrarung Marr on 14 March 2020, just before the pandemic closed venues. She was back at Inveresk Park in Launceston in March 2021. In 2022 she played a run of outdoor dates from Roche Estate in the Hunter Valley to Riverstage in Brisbane, Glenelg Beach in Adelaide and Kings Park in Perth, then theatre shows at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on 5 May, Costa Hall in Geelong, Thebarton Theatre on 3 June and Newcastle Civic Theatre.

From late 2023 to May 2024 she was part of a long touring bill that the archive shares, date for date, with Pete Murray: Don Lucas Reserve in Sydney, Sandalford Winery in Perth, Mildura, Torquay Common, Kiama Showground, Mornington Racecourse, Mannum, Roche Estate, Launceston, the Bendigo Jockey Club, Noosa and Cairns Showgrounds. She also returned to her birthplace for a show at the Jens Town Hall Hotel in Mount Gambier on 9 September 2023.

Backbone and her book Just Don't Be a D**khead came with a launch tour in October 2024: St Stephen's Church in Sydney on 1 October, Brisbane, the Athenaeum in Melbourne, the Geelong Library and Heritage Centre, the National Library of Australia in Canberra, the Brunswick Picture House and Norwood Concert Hall in Adelaide on 23 October. A full-band show at the Concert Hall in Sydney on 14 November 2024 had 17 songs.

In 2025 came Launceston and the Odeon Theatre in Hobart in March, the EVAN Theatre, Anita's Theatre in Wollongong on 27 March, Woodville Town Hall in Adelaide, Bunbury and the Astor Theatre in Perth, and the dates billed as the Backbone Tour: two nights at The Palms at Crown in Melbourne on 5 and 6 June and The Tivoli in Brisbane on 14 June 2025. Across the Tasman, the archive lists two shows at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland on 14 and 15 March 2015, filed under the Bittersweet Tour.

The table below lists 99 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Kasey Chambers between 2015 and 2026, with the most shows in Melbourne (8), Sydney (7), Brisbane (5), Adelaide (5), Perth (4), Launceston (3). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Kasey Chambers Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

Kasey Chambers Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Kasey Chambers was born on 4 June 1976 in Mount Gambier, South Australia, to musicians Diane and Bill Chambers. With her parents and her brother Nash she was a member of the Dead Ringer Band from 1992 to 1998, and she has named Emmylou Harris as a primary influence. Her debut solo album, The Captain, was recorded on Norfolk Island in 1998 with Nash producing and her father on guitar, and released in May 1999. It reached No. 11, went double platinum and won the ARIA for Best Country Album.

Barricades & Brickwalls (2001) went to No. 1 and its single 'Not Pretty Enough' topped the singles chart at the same time, making her the first Australian country artist with a simultaneous No. 1 single and album. It won Album of the Year, Best Female Artist and Best Country Album at the 2002 ARIAs and went seven times platinum. Her cover of 'True Colours' was the theme of the 2003 Rugby World Cup.

Wayward Angel (2004) and Carnival (2006) both debuted at No. 1, and Rattlin' Bones (2008), with then-husband Shane Nicholson, did the same. Little Bird (2010) reached No. 3, the covers album Storybook (2011) No. 21, and the second duet album with Nicholson, Wreck & Ruin (2012), No. 6. Bittersweet (2014), produced by Nick DiDia, reached No. 2 and includes a duet with Bernard Fanning.

The double album Dragonfly (2017), produced partly by Nash and partly by Paul Kelly, was her fifth No. 1. Campfire (2018) with the Fireside Disciples reached No. 6, and the same year she became the youngest solo female artist inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, while winning Best Country Album for a record ninth time. Backbone (2024), which includes 'The Divorce Song' with Shane Nicholson, reached No. 3.

Kasey Chambers Australia Tour 2027: the outback stages

Few artists have a stronger link to the Australian outback than Kasey Chambers, who spent her early childhood on the Nullarbor. Her live history reflects it: Big Red at Birdsville in July 2022, the Mundi Mundi Plains near Silverton in 2022 and 2025, the Gympie Muster in the Amamoor State Forest, Kalgoorlie's Centennial Park in February 2020 and the Nindigully Pub in July 2023.

'Nullarbor Song' and 'Backbone (The Desert Child)', both drawn from that childhood, are now regular parts of her set. If she announces festival dates for 2027, these remote events are where many fans expect to see her, but no 2027 festival line-up including her has been confirmed.

Kasey Chambers Australia Tour 2027: the theatre nights

Her own headline shows are usually in theatres and halls rather than arenas. Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide appears twice in the archive, in October 2019 and June 2022, and Adelaide also had her at Norwood Concert Hall in 2024 and Woodville Town Hall in May 2025, alongside the Palais Theatre in Melbourne, Anita's Theatre in Wollongong, the EVAN Theatre in Penrith, The Tivoli in Brisbane and the Odeon Theatre in Hobart.

These rooms suit a show built on storytelling between songs. The two nights at The Giant Dwarf in Sydney in October 2019 were among the most intimate, while the Concert Hall show in Sydney on 14 November 2024 was one of the largest headline rooms she has played in recent years.

Kasey Chambers Australia Tour 2027: New Zealand

New Zealand appears only twice in the archive: two shows at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland on 14 and 15 March 2015, filed under the Bittersweet Tour. There are no other New Zealand dates recorded there for the last decade.

No New Zealand date has been announced for 2027. Fans across the Tasman should watch for any announcement rather than expect one.

Kasey Chambers Australia Tour 2027: the summer bills

Since 2022 a big share of her concerts have been outdoor shows in parks, wineries, showgrounds and racecourses. The 2023-24 run shared with Pete Murray went from Perth to Cairns, and the January-to-May 2026 run took in Speers Point Park in Newcastle, Broadwater Parklands on the Gold Coast, Werribee Park, Bella Vista Farm, Gateway Lakes in Wodonga, South Bank in Brisbane and Whitfords Nodes Park in Perth.

Sets on these bills are shorter, often eight to ten songs, and the tickets are sold by the event rather than by the artist. If a similar summer run is announced for 2026-27, each event will publish its own on-sale details.

Kasey Chambers Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

A full Kasey Chambers headline show runs to about 15 to 19 songs. On the 2025 Backbone dates the logged set opened with 'Ain't No Little Girl' and 'Backbone (The Desert Child)', moved through 'This Flower', 'Pony', 'A Little Bit Lonesome', 'Nullarbor Song', 'The Divorce Song' and 'Arlo', and finished with 'Not Pretty Enough', 'Lose Yourself', 'The Captain', 'A New Day Has Come' and 'Barricades & Brickwalls'.

Across all the sets in the archive, 'Not Pretty Enough' is the most played song, followed by 'The Captain', 'Barricades & Brickwalls', 'Lose Yourself', 'Pony' and 'We're All Gonna Die Someday'. Covers turn up too: 'Yellow' closed the 2019 shows, 'My Island Home' and 'Amazing Grace' were played at Thebarton Theatre in June 2022, and 'Blowin' in the Wind' at Albany in January 2023.

The staging is simple and built around a small band; family has always been part of her music, from the Dead Ringer Band to her father Bill's dobro on Campfire. The appeal is the voice, the songs and the stories she tells between them.

Kasey Chambers Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no Kasey Chambers tickets for Australia or New Zealand in 2027 on sale, because no 2027 dates have been announced. No presale or general sale date has been set.

When dates appear, buy from the official seller named in the announcement, from the venue box office, or, for a festival, from the festival's own ticketing. Many mobile tickets are tied to the buyer's name and account, so check transfer rules before buying for others. Treat resale listings for unannounced shows and any 'presale code' offered for money with suspicion.

Sign up below for the alert and you will be told as soon as Kasey Chambers confirms any 2027 date in Australia or New Zealand.
