Luke Combs has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no tour, festival booking or one-off show on this side of the Pacific. The only 2027 dates published so far belong to the My Kinda Saturday Night Tour 2027, a run of Saturday-night stadium shows in the United States and Canada that starts at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Saturday 3 April 2027 and ends at Petco Park in San Diego on Saturday 26 June 2027.
That does not mean Australia has fallen off his map. The North Carolina singer has been one of the fastest-growing country acts in this part of the world over the past decade. He came here first in March 2018 to play theatres and an outdoor show at Willowbank Raceway near Ipswich, returned to arenas in August 2023, and in January and February 2025 played two nights each at Eden Park in Auckland, Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Accor Stadium in Sydney and Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. Few American country artists have made the jump from the Enmore Theatre to Sydney's Olympic stadium in seven years.
This page sets out what is and is not known about Luke Combs and a possible return in 2027, and gives a complete account of his documented concerts in Australia and New Zealand, from the Forum Theatre in Melbourne in March 2018 to the last of the stadium weekends in Melbourne on Saturday 8 February 2025. It also covers his albums and their Australian chart peaks, his recent set lists here and the safest way to buy tickets when a tour is announced.
There is no official information about Luke Combs concerts in Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No promoter has announced a tour, no venue has listed a date, and the artist has said nothing publicly about coming back. Any 'presale code', leaked itinerary or resale listing for Australian or New Zealand shows in 2027 should be treated as false until an official announcement appears.
What has been announced is a North American stadium tour. The My Kinda Saturday Night Tour 2027 has twelve Saturday dates between April and June 2027: Arlington, Minneapolis, Detroit, Philadelphia, Foxborough near Boston, Pittsburgh and Kansas City in April and May, then Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium on 29 May, BC Place in Vancouver on 5 June, Boise, Denver and San Diego. The Arlington and Minneapolis shows are billed with Treaty Oak Revival. Tickets for the run have been on sale since August 2026. With that schedule, any Southern Hemisphere dates would have to fall either before April or after the end of June 2027.
The pattern of his past visits gives some context without promising anything. Combs has come to Australia in March 2018, March 2019, August 2023 and January to February 2025, so roughly every eighteen months to two years once his career took off, with a pandemic gap in between. He also has a new album, The Way I Am, released on 20 March 2026, that has not yet been toured in Australia or New Zealand. None of this is an announcement, and this page will be updated as soon as anything is confirmed.
If you want to be told the moment Australian or New Zealand dates are published, the simplest step is to sign up below for the alert. You will receive one message when an official announcement is made, with the dates, venues and on-sale times as they are released.
Luke Combs first played Australia in March 2018, nine months after his debut album This One's for You came out. The setlist.fm archive files the visit under the Don't Tempt Me with a Good Time Tour and shows four dates: two outdoor appearances at Willowbank Raceway in Ipswich, west of Brisbane, on Friday 16 and Sunday 18 March, the Forum Theatre in Melbourne on Monday 19 March and the Enmore Theatre in Newtown, Sydney, on Wednesday 21 March 2018. It was a short introductory trip, built around Queensland's outdoor weekend and two classic inner-city theatres.
He came back almost exactly a year later, in March 2019, on what the archive calls the Beer Never Broke My Heart Tour. This time the run began at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda on Wednesday 13 March, went back to Willowbank Raceway in Ipswich on Friday 15 and Sunday 17 March, and finished with two nights at the Enmore Theatre on Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 March 2019. The documented sets from Melbourne and Ipswich ran to about 20 songs and were drawn almost entirely from This One's for You: 'Hurricane', 'When It Rains It Pours', 'One Number Away', 'Beautiful Crazy' and 'She Got the Best of Me', with 'Beer Never Broke My Heart' already near the end of the set, months before the album it belongs to was released.
The pandemic kept him away for more than four years. When he returned in August 2023 it was as an arena headliner on the Luke Combs World Tour, with a leg that began in New Zealand. He opened at Spark Arena in Auckland on Wednesday 9 August, then played the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday 11 August, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 August, Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 August, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Wednesday 23 August and RAC Arena in Perth on Saturday 26 August 2023. It was his first visit to Adelaide and Perth, and his first concert in New Zealand.
The 2023 arena sets ran to 19 to 21 songs. They opened with 'Lovin' on You' and 'Hannah Ford Road', included his version of 'Fast Car', which had become a worldwide hit that year, and closed with 'Beer Never Broke My Heart', 'Better Together' and 'The Kind of Love We Make'. In Auckland he added 'Brand New Man' at the very end, and in Sydney on the second night and in Adelaide he slipped in songs that did not appear elsewhere on the leg, including 'Even Though I'm Leaving' and 'Refrigerator Door'.
Less than eighteen months later he was back in stadiums. The setlist archive names the run Live In Australia + New Zealand 2025: Eden Park in Auckland on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 January, Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Friday 24 and Saturday 25 January, Accor Stadium in Sydney on Friday 31 January and Saturday 1 February, and Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Friday 7 and Saturday 8 February 2025. Eight shows, four cities, every one of them on a Friday or Saturday night. Adelaide and Perth, which had arena shows in 2023, were not on the 2025 itinerary.
Across those four visits the archive lists 25 concerts in Australia and New Zealand: 22 in Australia and three in Auckland. South-east Queensland has had the most, with four shows at Willowbank Raceway, one at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre and two at Suncorp Stadium. Sydney follows with seven, split between the Enmore Theatre, Qudos Bank Arena and Accor Stadium, and Melbourne with six at the Forum, the Palais, Rod Laver Arena and Marvel Stadium.
The table below lists 25 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Luke Combs between 2018 and 2025, with the most shows in Sydney (7), Melbourne (6), Ipswich (4), Brisbane (3), Auckland (3), Perth (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Across the 15 most recent documented Australia/NZ concerts with a full song list (9 August 2023 to 8 February 2025), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Luke Albert Combs was born on 2 March 1990 in Huntersville, North Carolina, a suburb of Charlotte, and grew up in Asheville in the west of the state. He sang in school choirs and musicals as a child and later studied at Appalachian State University, where he started performing at the bar where he worked as a bouncer. He left university a few credits short of a degree, taught himself guitar and moved to Nashville to pursue music.
His first single, 'Hurricane', sold 15,000 copies in its first week and reached number one on US country radio in May 2017, after he signed with Columbia Nashville and River House Artists. The debut album This One's for You followed in June 2017 and topped the US country albums chart. His first five singles all went to number one at country radio, a run few newcomers manage. In Australia the album reached number 5 and has been certified triple platinum.
What You See Is What You Get, released on 8 November 2019, was his first number-one album in both the United States and Australia, and it went double platinum here. He followed it with a pair of companion records, Growin' Up in June 2022 and Gettin' Old in March 2023, both of which peaked at number 2 on the ARIA albums chart. Gettin' Old included his cover of Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car', which reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, higher than the 1988 original, won Single of the Year at the 2023 CMA Awards and led to a duet with Chapman at the Grammy Awards on 4 February 2024.
Fathers & Sons, a quieter record about family, came out on 14 June 2024 and reached number 3 in Australia. His sixth studio album, The Way I Am, was released on 20 March 2026 and also peaked at number 3 on the ARIA chart. Combs was named Entertainer of the Year at the CMA Awards in 2021 and 2022, and his Australian chart record (two number 2s, two number 3s and a number 1) puts him among the most consistent international country sellers in the country.
| Album | Year | AUS chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| This One's for You | 2017 | AUS 5 |
| What You See Is What You Get | 2019 | AUS 1 |
| Growin' Up | 2022 | AUS 2 |
| Gettin' Old | 2023 | AUS 2 |
| Fathers & Sons | 2024 | AUS 3 |
| The Way I Am | 2026 | AUS 3 |
No venue tells Luke Combs' Australian story better than the Enmore Theatre. He played the Newtown room on Wednesday 21 March 2018 and again on Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 March 2019. Four and a half years later he was at Qudos Bank Arena at Sydney Olympic Park for two nights, and in early 2025 he returned to the same precinct for two nights at Accor Stadium, the former Olympic stadium.
That progression, theatre to arena to stadium in three visits, happened in less than seven years. It mirrors what happened in Melbourne, where he went from the Forum Theatre in 2018 and the Palais Theatre in 2019 to Rod Laver Arena in 2023 and Marvel Stadium in Docklands in 2025, and in Brisbane, where the outdoor shows at Willowbank Raceway were followed by the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall and then Suncorp Stadium in Milton.
If Combs returns, the question is less whether he can fill those stadiums again than which cities he chooses. The 2025 run was concentrated on four big markets with two nights in each; the 2023 arena tour reached Adelaide and Perth as well. Until a tour is announced, nobody knows which model a future visit would follow.
New Zealand came late to Luke Combs' touring story but quickly became a priority. His first concert in the country was at Spark Arena in Auckland on Wednesday 9 August 2023, the opening night of that year's Oceania leg. The setlist shows a 21-song show that ended, unusually for that tour, with 'Brand New Man' after 'The Kind of Love We Make'.
Seventeen months later he went straight to Eden Park, New Zealand's biggest stadium, for two nights on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 January 2025, again opening the whole trip in Auckland before crossing the Tasman. The first night included 'I Ain't No Cowboy' and the second 'See Me Now', neither of which turns up elsewhere in the 2025 archive.
All three of his New Zealand concerts so far have been in Auckland. Wellington and Christchurch have not had a show. His albums have done well in the New Zealand chart too, with Gettin' Old reaching number 2 there, so an Auckland date would be a natural part of any future Oceania tour, but nothing has been announced for 2027.
One of the most striking things in the 2025 stadium data is that Combs did not play the same show twice in a city. In Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne the two nights followed two distinct running orders of about 25 songs each. One version opened with 'The Kind of Love We Make' and 'Cold as You' and ended with 'Ain't No Love in Oklahoma' and 'Beer Never Broke My Heart'; the other opened with 'Must've Never Met You' and 'She Got the Best of Me' and finished with 'Better Together', 'Ain't No Love in Oklahoma' and 'The Kind of Love We Make'.
Some songs only appeared in one of the two versions: 'Does to Me', 'My Kinda Folk', 'Doin' This', 'Even Though I'm Leaving' and 'Growin' Up and Gettin' Old' on one night; 'Honky Tonk Highway', 'Remember Him That Way', 'Dive' and 'Love You Anyway' on the other. A slot in the middle of each show changed every night, with 'Wish Upon a Whiskey' in Sydney, 'Pushin' Up Daisies' in Brisbane and '5 Leaf Clover' in Melbourne.
For fans who bought tickets to both nights, that meant around a dozen songs they would hear only once. It is a sign of how deep his catalogue had become by 2025 and something to bear in mind if he returns with two-night stands again.
Combs often builds a short medley of other people's songs into his concerts, and the Australian archive shows it changing from tour to tour. In March 2019 at Willowbank Raceway it was 'All My Rowdy Friends', 'Rock My World (Little Country Girl)' and 'Desperado'. In 2023 the arena shows paired 'Dust on the Bottle' and 'Meet in the Middle' with Bruno Mars's 'When I Was Your Man'.
In 2025 the stadium medley was 'Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?', 'Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)' and 'What Was I Thinkin''. And of course 'Fast Car' has been in every documented Australian set since 2023, a few songs from the end of the main show, often just before 'She Got the Best of Me' or 'Hurricane'.
Those choices change, so there is no way to know what a future medley would contain. What the data shows is that he treats it as a moment to play to the room, mixing classic country with pop and rock songs that a stadium crowd will sing along to.
A Luke Combs concert in Australia now lasts around 25 songs. The 2025 stadium shows in Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne each had 25 numbers, up from 19 to 21 on the 2023 arena tour and about 20 in the theatres in 2019. The core has stayed remarkably stable: 'Hurricane', 'When It Rains It Pours', 'One Number Away', 'Beautiful Crazy', 'She Got the Best of Me', '1, 2 Many' and 'Beer Never Broke My Heart' appear in almost every documented set since 2019.
The newer songs have pushed their way in around that core. By 2025 'Where the Wild Things Are', 'Forever After All', 'Going, Going, Gone', 'Cold as You', 'Must've Never Met You' and 'Fast Car' were fixtures, and 'Ain't No Love in Oklahoma' was one of the last songs of the night. Songs from The Way I Am (2026) have not yet been played in Australia or New Zealand.
The running order is not fixed: in 2023 the Sydney and Adelaide shows had extra songs, and in 2025 each city got two different sets. The full lists of the songs he has played most often in Australia and New Zealand, drawn from the setlist archive, appear in the tables on this page.
There is nothing to buy yet: as of 9 October 2026 no Luke Combs concert in Australia or New Zealand has been announced for 2027, so no presale, general sale or ticket price exists. Any site offering tickets or a 'presale code' for 2027 Australian or New Zealand shows is selling something that does not exist, and you should not hand over money or card details.
When a tour is announced, tickets will be sold through the official ticketing agent named by the promoter and the venue, usually with an artist fan-club presale and sometimes a promoter or card-holder presale before the general sale. Large venues in Australia now issue mobile tickets in the buyer's name, so buy through the official outlet or its official resale service to make sure the ticket is in your name. Buy only from the official agent or the venue box office, and if you can no longer attend, use the authorised resale service at face value.
His last visit was to stadiums with two nights per city, so if he comes back it is wise to be ready on the first morning of sale. Sign up below for the alert and you will be told as soon as dates, venues and sale times are confirmed.
