Lizzy McAlpine starts her biggest tour yet in Australia. The Over Country Tour, named after the song from her fourth album Angel that took off on TikTok, opens at the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide on Wednesday 3 February 2027 and plays six cities in under a fortnight, with Mila Bea as support.
After Adelaide come the Red Hill Auditorium in Perth on Friday 5 February, the TikTok Entertainment Centre in Sydney on Sunday 7 February, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne on Wednesday 10 February and the Riverstage in Brisbane on Friday 12 February. The leg ends at Te Paepae Theatre, the new theatre of the New Zealand International Convention Centre in Auckland, on Sunday 14 February 2027.
It is her second Australian tour in the setlist.fm archive and her first in New Zealand, after the Older Tour played four theatre-sized shows on the east coast in July 2024. This page has the confirmed dates and venues, how the sale went, her Australian set lists and most-played songs, and what to expect from the 2027 shows.
Lizzy McAlpine announced the Over Country Tour on Thursday 24 September 2026, six days after Angel was released on 18 September. It is a 49-date international tour running from February to July 2027, and Australia and New Zealand come first, ahead of Europe in March, the UK and Ireland in early April and North America from late April, finishing at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle on 17 July 2027.
The Australian leg covers all five mainland state capitals, which her 2024 tour did not. Adelaide and Perth are new cities for her in the archive. Adelaide opens the run at the 2,000-capacity Thebarton Theatre on Wednesday 3 February, and Perth follows on Friday 5 February at the Red Hill Auditorium, an open-air venue in the hills of the City of Swan north-east of the city.
On the east coast she moves into larger rooms than in 2024. Sydney is the TikTok Entertainment Centre at Darling Harbour, a 9,000-seat theatre, on Sunday 7 February; Melbourne is the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Wednesday 10 February; and Brisbane is the Riverstage in the City Botanic Gardens on Friday 12 February. Two of those three are outdoor venues in the middle of summer.
New Zealand gets one date, Auckland's Te Paepae Theatre on Sunday 14 February 2027, which is Valentine's Day. Mila Bea opens every show of the Australian and New Zealand leg. No Wellington or Christchurch show, and no second Auckland night, had been announced as of 9 October 2026.
The Thebarton Theatre is a concert hall in Torrensville, in Adelaide's inner west. It opened in 1928 as a combined town hall and picture theatre, designed with input from cinema entrepreneur Dan Clifford, and holds about 2,000 people.
The Red Hill Auditorium is an open-air concert venue at Red Hill, in the City of Swan about 26 km north-east of central Perth. It is used for touring concerts, mostly in the warmer months.
The TikTok Entertainment Centre is the 9,000-seat theatre inside the International Convention Centre Sydney at Darling Harbour. It opened in December 2016 as the ICC Sydney Theatre and was later known as the First State Super Theatre and the Aware Super Theatre before taking its current name in 2025.
The Sidney Myer Music Bowl is an outdoor concert venue in the Kings Domain, Melbourne, opened in 1959. It holds up to 10,000 people, with 2,030 fixed seats under the canopy and a lawn behind. The Seekers' 1967 homecoming concert there drew an estimated 200,000 people.
The Riverstage is an outdoor amphitheatre in Brisbane's City Botanic Gardens, on Gardens Point Road beside the Brisbane River. It opened on 7 September 1989, was inspired by the temporary Riverstage used for World Expo '88, and holds about 9,500 people.
Te Paepae Theatre is the theatre of the New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC), on Wellesley Street West in central Auckland beside the SkyCity complex. The centre's opening was delayed for years after a major fire broke out during construction on 22 October 2019.
Wednesday 3 February 2027 — Thebarton Theatre, Adelaide. This is the opening night of the run.
Friday 5 February 2027 — Red Hill Auditorium, Perth.
Sunday 7 February 2027 — TikTok Entertainment Centre, Sydney. The artist's most recent documented Sydney show was at Hordern Pavilion on 16 July 2024.
Wednesday 10 February 2027 — Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Melbourne. The artist's most recent documented Melbourne show was at Margaret Court Arena on 18 July 2024.
Friday 12 February 2027 — Riverstage, Brisbane. The artist's most recent documented Brisbane show was at Fortitude Music Hall on 12 July 2024.
Sunday 14 February 2027 — Te Paepae Theatre, NZICC, Auckland. The run finishes here.
The setlist.fm archive records Lizzy McAlpine's first Australian concerts in July 2024, on the Older Tour that supported her third album, Older. The tour began in San Diego in April 2024 and ran across North America and Europe until Dublin on 31 October; the Australian leg came in the middle, in the southern winter.
Brisbane was first, with two nights at Fortitude Music Hall in Fortitude Valley on Thursday 11 and Friday 12 July 2024. She then played the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on Tuesday 16 July and finished at Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne on Thursday 18 July 2024. Each show in the archive was 19 songs long.
Those concerts followed the same shape every night. They opened with "The Elevator", "Come Down Soon", "Like It Tends to Do" and "Movie Star", reached the title song "Older" around two-thirds of the way through, and ended with "Spring Into Summer", "Vortex" and "ceilings", the song from Five Seconds Flat that first made her name.
Within that frame she changed a few slots each night. The first Brisbane show included "Multiple Endings" and "orange show speedway"; the second had "Lately" and "firearm"; Sydney had "Death With Dignity" and "Let Light Be Light"; and Melbourne had "Lately" and a medley of "Nothing" and "Sad N Stuff". On three of the four nights "March" was paired with "chemtrails", and in Brisbane and Melbourne with "Headstones and Land Mines" too, the three songs she wrote for her late father.
There is no Adelaide, Perth or New Zealand concert in the archive before 2027, so the Over Country Tour is her first visit to all three. In Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane she returns to bigger venues: the TikTok Entertainment Centre instead of the Hordern, the Myer Music Bowl instead of Margaret Court Arena, and the Riverstage instead of two nights at Fortitude Music Hall.
The table below lists 4 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Lizzy McAlpine between 2024 and 2024, with the most shows in Brisbane (2), Melbourne (1), Sydney (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Across the 4 most recent documented Australia/NZ concerts with a full song list (11 July 2024 to 18 July 2024), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Elizabeth Catherine McAlpine was born on 21 September 1999 and grew up in Narberth, Pennsylvania, outside Philadelphia. She sang in an a cappella group and did theatre at Lower Merion High School, then studied songwriting at Berklee College of Music in Boston before leaving in her third year to make music full time. She first found listeners by posting songs and covers on SoundCloud and YouTube.
Her debut album, Give Me a Minute, was written while she studied in Spain in 2019 and came out in August 2020, a few months after her father died. Since then the thirteenth track of each album has been dedicated to him. Five Seconds Flat (April 2022) gave her first entries on the Billboard 200 and the Hot 100, thanks to "ceilings", which went viral on TikTok and reached number 54. Her NPR Tiny Desk Concert in November 2022 was voted one of the year's best.
She signed with RCA Records in 2023 and released Older on 5 April 2024, followed by a deluxe edition, Older (and Wiser), in October. She has recorded duets with Noah Kahan ("Call Your Mom") and Niall Horan ("You Could Start a Cult"), and from March to June 2025 she played Nellie Collins in the Broadway premiere of Floyd Collins opposite Jeremy Jordan.
Her fourth album, Angel, was announced in July 2026 with the single "The Light in the Painting", followed by "Ugly Things" in August, and was released on 18 September 2026. It reached the Australian top 10, her highest chart position here, and the track "Over Country" gave the 2027 tour its name.
| Album | Year | AUS chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| Give Me a Minute | 2020 | — |
| Five Seconds Flat | 2022 | — |
| Older | 2024 | AUS 26 |
| Angel | 2026 | AUS 10 |
The first night of the whole Over Country Tour is in Adelaide, on Wednesday 3 February 2027. The Thebarton Theatre in Torrensville, just west of the city centre, opened in 1928 as a combined town hall and picture theatre and holds about 2,000 people, which makes it the smallest room of the Australian leg.
Opening nights usually set the template for the months that follow, so Adelaide will be the first audience anywhere to hear the full show built around Angel. It is also her first concert in South Australia in the archive.
Perth is the other new city. The show on Friday 5 February 2027 is at the Red Hill Auditorium, an outdoor venue at Red Hill in the City of Swan, about 26 km north-east of central Perth, so allow time for the trip out of town and check the transport and parking options before the night.
With the Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne and the Riverstage in Brisbane, three of her six dates in Australia and New Zealand are outdoors in February. Expect warm evenings, check each venue's rules on bags, hats and sunscreen, and keep an eye on the weather forecast for Brisbane in particular, where summer storms are common.
The jump in size from 2024 is clearest in the three east-coast cities. In Sydney she goes from the Hordern Pavilion to the TikTok Entertainment Centre, the theatre inside ICC Sydney at Darling Harbour, which opened in 2016 as the ICC Sydney Theatre and seats about 9,000.
In Melbourne, Margaret Court Arena gives way to the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in the Kings Domain, with room for about 10,000. In Brisbane, two nights at Fortitude Music Hall become one at the Riverstage, which holds about 9,500. A single night in each city at that scale is a sign of how much her audience here has grown since Older.
New Zealand gets its first Lizzy McAlpine concert in the archive on Sunday 14 February 2027, the last night of the Australian and New Zealand leg. Te Paepae Theatre is part of the New Zealand International Convention Centre on Wellesley Street West in central Auckland, a building whose opening was delayed for years after a major fire during construction in October 2019.
A Valentine's Day show from a songwriter known for heartbreak songs is a neat piece of scheduling. Fans in Wellington and the South Island will need to travel: Auckland is the only New Zealand date announced as of 9 October 2026.
In July 2024 her Australian shows ran to 19 songs and leaned on Older: "The Elevator", "Come Down Soon", "Movie Star", "All Falls Down", "Staying", "I Guess", "Drunk, Running", "Broken Glass", "You Forced Me To", "Older" and "Better Than This". From her earlier records she played "doomsday", "Spring Into Summer", "Vortex" and "ceilings".
The 2027 show is built around Angel, so expect "Over Country", "The Light in the Painting" and "Ugly Things" alongside a selection from Older and "ceilings" near the end. The set list for the new tour had not been published as of 9 October 2026, because the tour begins in Adelaide.
Mila Bea opens all six shows in Australia and New Zealand, so plan to arrive early if you want to see the support set.
The Australian and New Zealand dates went on sale shortly after the announcement. An artist pre-sale opened on Tuesday 29 September 2026 at 10:00 local time, followed by the promoter pre-sale at 12:00, and the general sale started on Wednesday 30 September 2026 at 12:00 local time. Tickets are sold through the official ticketing outlets for each venue, the promoter and the venues' own box offices.
There is no public Lizzy McAlpine presale code, and the pre-sales have closed, so treat anyone offering a "code" or guaranteed tickets with suspicion. Most Australian and New Zealand concerts now use name-locked mobile tickets; if a show is sold out, the official resale service of the original seller is the safe option.
