Mallrat Australia Tour 2027

Mallrat has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there are no 2027 dates, cities, venues or on-sale details. Her most recent headline touring followed her second album, Light Hit My Face Like a Straight Right, released on 14 February 2025: theatre shows in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne that April, a return to Brisbane's Tivoli in September and three New Zealand dates the same month.

Grace Shaw, the Brisbane singer, rapper and producer who records as Mallrat, has been a triple j fixture since her teens. 'Groceries' was No. 7 in the Hottest 100 of 2018, 'Charlie' No. 3 a year later and 'Rockstar' No. 13 in 2020. Her debut album Butterfly Blue reached No. 6 on the ARIA Albums Chart in 2022, and in 2025 she opened for Kylie Minogue on the Australian leg of the Tension Tour, playing arenas in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.

This page sets out what is and is not known about her plans for 2027 and gives an account of her concerts in Australia and New Zealand: the Butterfly Blue tour of 2023, a long run of summer festival stages, the Kylie arena dates, the 2025 album shows and her 2026 outdoor appearances.

Mallrat Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official Mallrat tour of Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No 2027 shows appear among the tour announcements made so far for the region, and no new album has been announced. Any list of Mallrat 2027 dates, or any 'presale code' attached to one, is unconfirmed until she confirms it.

Her 2026 calendar so far has been made up of short sets on outdoor stages. The setlist archive has her at John Cain Arena in Melbourne on 29 January, Quercus Park at Carrick in Tasmania on 7 February, the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on Tuesday 24 February, the South Bank Cultural Forecourt in Brisbane on Thursday 26 February, Civic Park in Adelaide on Saturday 28 February, Albert Park in Melbourne on 5 March, Mindil Beach in Darwin on 16 May and Tumbalong Park in Sydney on Friday 22 May 2026. Nothing has been listed since then.

The last full headline run was tied to Light Hit My Face Like a Straight Right, which debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA chart of Australian albums. Wikipedia describes the accompanying tour as international, taking in North America, the United Kingdom and Ireland, continental Europe, Australia and New Zealand, with most shows sold out. Whether a third album and a new tour follow in 2027 has not been said.

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

Mallrat's early touring was in support slots and festival tents. In early 2017 she supported Peking Duk on their Clowntown tour, and that year she played Splendour in the Grass. In January 2019 she announced her first headline national tour, with Basenji, Kota Banks and Nyne as supports. The earliest show in the archive is at Reid Park in Townsville on New Year's Eve 2021, followed by Catani Gardens in St Kilda, Melbourne, on Saturday 5 March 2022, a nine-song set that included a cover of 'Tokyo Drift'.

Butterfly Blue, released in 2022, took her into larger halls. The album tour of May 2023 played the Darebin Arts & Entertainment Centre in Melbourne on Sunday 7 May, the Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on Friday 12 May, Hindley Street Music Hall in Adelaide on Saturday 13 May, the Roundhouse in Sydney on Friday 19 May and the Forum Theatre in Melbourne on Saturday 20 May 2023. The Brisbane show ran to 18 songs, mixing album tracks such as 'Obsessed', 'Arm's Length', 'I'm Not My Body', 'It's Mine' and 'Butterfly Blue' with 'UFO', 'Groceries', 'Charlie' and 'Rockstar'.

Over the 2023-24 holiday season she played a string of coastal dates: Miami Marketta on the Gold Coast on Boxing Day, the Cleveland Sands Hotel at Redland Bay on Friday 29 December, the Kings Beach Tavern in Caloundra on 30 December and the North Wollongong Hotel on New Year's Eve 2023. She was at the Triffid in Brisbane on 27 June 2024.

In February and March 2025 she opened for Kylie Minogue on the Tension Tour, a run of arena nights that started at RAC Arena in Perth on Saturday 15 February 2025 and continued at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on 18 February, Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Thursday 20, Friday 21 and Saturday 22 February, the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 26 and 27 February and Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on 1, 2 and 3 March 2025. Her support set was nine or ten songs, opening with 'My Darling, My Angel' and 'Pavement'.

The headline album shows came straight after: the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Thursday 3 April, the Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on Friday 4 April and the Forum Theatre in Melbourne on Saturday 5 April 2025. The Melbourne set had 19 songs and ended with 'Hideaway' and 'Love Songs / Heart Strings'. She returned to the Tivoli in Brisbane on Friday 5 September 2025 and to Miami Marketta on the Gold Coast on Thursday 27 November 2025.

New Zealand saw her in September 2025, the only New Zealand concerts in the archive. She played Meow in Wellington on Thursday 11 September, Remarkables Park at Frankton near Queenstown on Friday 12 September and the Tuning Fork in Auckland on Saturday 13 September 2025. The Wellington and Auckland shows each ran to 19 songs, the same full album set she had been playing in Australia, with 'Drive Me Round', 'Heart Guitar' and 'Radio' added.

The table below lists 60 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Mallrat between 2021 and 2026, with the most shows in Sydney (11), Melbourne (11), Brisbane (10), Adelaide (4), Gold Coast (3), Perth (3). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Mallrat Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

Splendour in the Grass is the one Australian festival named in Mallrat's Wikipedia biography, from 2017, and the archive shows her at North Byron Parklands, the festival's site, on Saturday 22 July 2023.

In February 2023 she played the Brisbane Showgrounds on Saturday 4 February, the Sydney Showground on 5 February, Bonython Park in Adelaide on 10 February, Melbourne on 11 February and Wellington Square in Perth on 12 February, and later that month the Australian Inland Botanic Gardens at Buronga, near Mildura.

Mallrat Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Grace Kathleen Elizabeth Shaw was born in Brisbane on 25 September 1998 and went to Ascot State School and Clayfield College. She started making music at 11 and released her first songs in 2014. The name Mallrat comes from 'Mallrats (La La La)', a 2012 song by the American band the Orwells, and her debut single as Mallrat, 'Suicide Blonde', came out on 23 July 2015 and later appeared on the EP Uninvited, recorded in her final year of school.

After Splendour in 2017 she signed with Nettwerk Records in Canada and Dew Process in Australia. 'Better', 'UFO' featuring Allday and 'Groceries' led to the EP In the Sky in June 2018, and she supported Maggie Rogers in Europe in 2018 and 2019. The EP Driving Music, led by 'Charlie', followed in September 2019 and reached No. 10 on the ARIA chart. In December 2019 NME named 'Uninvited' among the greatest songs of the decade.

Butterfly Blue, announced with 'Teeth' in March 2022 after the single 'Your Love', peaked at No. 6. In June 2023 she released 'Do It Again' with the New Zealand singer Benee as the official song of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand.

Light Hit My Face Like a Straight Right was announced in December 2024 and released on 14 February 2025, reaching No. 35 on the main ARIA Albums Chart and No. 1 among Australian albums. Later in 2025 she supported Marina on the Princess of Power Tour in North America and featured on a remix of Spacey Jane's 'Estimated Delivery'. She has named SOPHIE, Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Three 6 Mafia and Dolly Parton among her influences, and folk music as the biggest.

Mallrat Australia Tour 2027: Auckland and New Zealand

Mallrat's New Zealand headline dates in September 2025 covered three very different places: Meow in Wellington, Remarkables Park at Frankton near Queenstown, and the Tuning Fork in Auckland. They are the only New Zealand concerts in the archive.

Her link with New Zealand also runs through Benee, with whom she recorded 'Do It Again' for the 2023 Women's World Cup. No New Zealand dates are announced for 2027.

Mallrat Australia Tour 2027: opening for Kylie

The Tension Tour support slot in 2025 put Mallrat in front of arena audiences in five cities over nearly three weeks, with three nights at Rod Laver Arena and three at Qudos Bank Arena. Her short set leaned on the new album, with 'Pavement', 'Wish on an Eyelash', 'Surprise Me' and 'Hocus Pocus', plus 'Groceries', 'Charlie' and 'Hideaway'.

A month later she was headlining theatres in the same cities, which shows how the arena slot fed into her own album tour.

Mallrat Australia Tour 2027: Brisbane, her home city

Brisbane appears in the archive more than any other city: the Fortitude Music Hall in 2023 and 2025, the Triffid in 2024, the Tivoli in September 2025, the Chinatown Mall in November 2023, the Brisbane Showgrounds twice in 2023, two nights at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre with Kylie, and the South Bank Cultural Forecourt in February 2026.

The Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast are close behind, with Miami Marketta, Doug Jennings Park and the Kings Beach Tavern in Caloundra.

Mallrat Australia Tour 2027: what 2026 has looked like

Instead of a headline tour, 2026 has been a year of shorter outdoor and event sets. The Hordern Pavilion, South Bank and Civic Park shows in late February used 11 to 13 songs drawn from the second album, with 'Charlie', 'Hideaway' and 'Rockstar' near the end.

No headline dates have been announced since Tumbalong Park in May 2026, and nothing is on sale for 2027.

Mallrat Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

A full Mallrat headline show now runs to about 19 songs. On the 2025 album tour she opened with 'My Darling, My Angel', 'Pavement' and 'Wish on an Eyelash', played 'Surprise Me', 'The Worst Thing I Would Ever Do', 'The Light Streams in and Hits My Face' and 'Hocus Pocus', a cover of Madonna's 'Ray of Light' and 'Something for Somebody', then 'Defibrillator', 'Teeth', 'Groceries', 'Horses', 'Virtue', 'Charlie' and 'Rockstar' before closing with 'Hideaway' and 'Love Songs / Heart Strings'.

The 2023 Butterfly Blue shows had a different spine, opening with 'Wish on an Eyelash', 'Surprise Me', 'Nobody's Home' and 'To You' and running through 'Better', 'Your Love', 'UFO', 'Make Time' and 'R U HIGH'. Festival sets usually ran to 10-14 songs, with 'Groceries', 'Charlie' and 'Rockstar' constants.

Mallrat Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no Mallrat tickets on sale for Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. Any site already listing 2027 seats or selling a 'presale code' is not official.

Her 2025 headline shows sold through each venue's official ticket outlet and box office, and many sold out, so presales mattered. When a new tour is announced, buy only from those official channels, register for any artist presale, expect mobile tickets in your own name, and be wary of anyone offering access codes.
