Megan Moroney brings The Cloud 9 Tour to Australia in May 2027 for four arena shows, with Laci Kaye Booth as support. The leg opens at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Saturday 8 May, moves to Afterpay Arena in Sydney on Tuesday 11 May and finishes with two nights at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday 14 and Saturday 15 May 2027.
It is her third trip to Australia in a little over three years. She first came for CMC Rocks QLD at Willowbank Raceway near Ipswich in March 2024, and returned in October 2025 with her own shows at the Riverstage in Brisbane, Sydney Showground and Caribbean Gardens in Melbourne. In 2027 she moves up to the country’s main indoor arenas.
Tickets have been on sale since Wednesday 9 September 2026. The Brisbane shows close the whole Cloud 9 Tour, which began in North America in May 2026 and supports Cloud 9, the album that gave her a first number 1 on the US Billboard 200 in February 2026. No New Zealand date had been announced as of 9 October 2026.
Megan Moroney announced the first 43 dates of The Cloud 9 Tour on 4 December 2025 and added more a week later. The tour opened in Columbus, Ohio, on 29 May 2026 and has three legs: North America, Europe and Australia, with JP Saxe and Solon Holt opening the North American shows and Colin Lynch the European ones. The Australian leg was announced on 3 September 2026 and went on sale six days later.
The Australian routing is simple. Melbourne opens on Saturday 8 May 2027 at Rod Laver Arena; Sydney follows three days later, on a Tuesday night at Afterpay Arena in Sydney Olympic Park; and Brisbane gets the weekend finale, Friday 14 and Saturday 15 May at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall.
Brisbane’s double reflects where her Australian audience first found her. Her debut appearance in the country was at CMC Rocks QLD, the big country festival held outside Ipswich, and Brisbane was also the first stop of her October 2025 headline run.
Laci Kaye Booth is the support act on all four Australian shows. There are no Perth, Adelaide or New Zealand dates on the current itinerary; this page will be updated if any are added.
Opened on 11 January 1988 as the National Tennis Centre at Flinders Park, Rod Laver Arena is the main court of the Australian Open at Melbourne Park. It was the first arena in Australia with a retractable roof and seats about 14,800 for tennis.
Built for the 2000 Olympics at Sydney Olympic Park, the arena opened on 6 November 1999 as the Sydney SuperDome and was later known as Acer Arena, Allphones Arena and Qudos Bank Arena. It has carried the Afterpay Arena name since July 2026 and holds up to about 21,000 with floor seating.
The Brisbane Entertainment Centre at Boondall, in the city's north, opened on 20 February 1986 and holds up to 14,500 for concerts. It will host Olympic handball during the Brisbane 2032 Games.
Saturday 8 May 2027 — Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne. In Melbourne, the last documented Megan Moroney concert was at Caribbean Gardens (26 October 2025). This is the opening night of the run.
Tuesday 11 May 2027 — Afterpay Arena, Sydney. The artist's most recent documented Sydney show was at Sydney Showground on 25 October 2025.
Friday 14 May 2027 — Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Brisbane. This is show 1 of the 2-night stand here. In Brisbane, the last documented Megan Moroney concert was at Riverstage (23 October 2025). This venue closes the tour.
Megan Moroney’s Australian story begins in March 2024 at Willowbank Raceway, outside Ipswich in south-east Queensland, the site of the CMC Rocks QLD festival. The archive lists her there on Friday 15 and Sunday 17 March 2024, at a time when Lucky and “Tennessee Orange” had made her one of the fastest-rising names in American country music and a few months before she released Am I Okay?.
Her first headline shows in Australia followed in October 2025, at the end of the Am I Okay? era. She played the Riverstage in Brisbane on Thursday 23 October 2025, Sydney Showground on Saturday 25 October and Caribbean Gardens in Melbourne’s south-east on Sunday 26 October 2025, all outdoor sites.
Those three shows used the same 19-song set. She opened with “Man on the Moon”, “Indifferent” and “I Know You”, played “No Caller ID”, “I'm Not Pretty”, “Hair Salon” and “Lucky” in the first half, and closed with “Wonder”, “6 Months Later”, “The Girls”, “Tennessee Orange” and “Am I Okay?”. Brisbane’s set included “Who's Your Daddy?”, while Sydney and Melbourne had “Georgia Girl” in that slot.
The October 2025 run also previewed the new record: “6 Months Later”, the first single from Cloud 9, had come out in June 2025, and “Beautiful Things”, the second, was already in the Australian set a few days before its release on 27 October 2025.
She has not yet played New Zealand, according to the archive, and she has not played Perth or Adelaide. The 2027 shows will be her first in arenas in Australia and her first indoor headline concerts in the country.

Her only Australian festival appearance so far is CMC Rocks QLD at Willowbank Raceway near Ipswich in March 2024, where the archive lists her on two days of the event, 15 and 17 March 2024.
The 2027 dates are her own arena shows. No festival appearance in Australia or New Zealand had been announced for 2027 as of 9 October 2026.
Megan Ann Moroney was born on 9 October 1997 in Georgia and grew up in Douglasville, west of Atlanta, in a musical household where she listened to country music and learned the piano. She studied at the University of Georgia in Athens, switching from accounting to marketing and graduating in 2020 with a certificate in music business. While at college she opened a show for Jon Langston and interned for Kristian Bush of Sugarland, who later introduced her to Nashville songwriters.
She moved to Nashville in 2020, released her first single “Wonder” in 2021 and the EP Pistol Made of Roses, which included “Hair Salon”. “Tennessee Orange”, produced by Bush and released in 2022, spread through streaming, reached number 10 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and led to a deal with Sony Music, which moved her to Columbia Records Nashville. She writes or co-writes all of her own songs.
Her debut album Lucky (May 2023) reached the top 40 of the Billboard 200 and was named the best country and Americana album of 2023 by Rolling Stone. Am I Okay? followed in July 2024 and debuted at number 9 in the US, with the title track and “No Caller ID” both reaching the Hot 100. She won the Country Music Association’s New Artist of the Year award in 2024.
Cloud 9 was released on 20 February 2026 and entered the Billboard 200 at number 1, her first chart-topping album, with “6 Months Later” and “Beautiful Things” as its first singles. The Cloud 9 Tour started at the end of May 2026 and ends in Brisbane in May 2027.
| Album | Year | AUS chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| Lucky | 2023 | — |
| Am I Okay? | 2024 | — |
| Cloud 9 | 2026 | AUS 20 |
Brisbane is the only city with two shows: Friday 14 and Saturday 15 May 2027 at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, a 14,500-capacity arena at Boondall that opened in 1986. They are also the last two nights of the entire Cloud 9 Tour.
Queensland is where her Australian audience first saw her, at CMC Rocks QLD in 2024, and the city where she played the Riverstage beside the Brisbane River in October 2025. A weekend double at the arena is a sizeable step up from an outdoor amphitheatre in the City Botanic Gardens.
The Australian dates are the final chapter of a tour that will have been on the road for almost a year. The Cloud 9 Tour began in Columbus, Ohio, on 29 May 2026 and has 52 shows in its published itinerary across North America, Europe and Australia, with the last of them in Brisbane in May 2027.
Along the way the North American shows have featured guest appearances: in Nashville she shared the stage with Dan + Shay and Lady A, and Benson Boone, JP Saxe and Kameron Marlowe have also appeared during the tour. One North American date, in Denver, was moved to 27 August because of illness. Whether any guests turn up in Australia will only be known on the night.
For Australian fans the timing means the show will be fully developed by the time it arrives, after a full North American summer and a European leg with Colin Lynch as support.
Melbourne is the first stop, on Saturday 8 May 2027 at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne Park. Her previous Melbourne show was outdoors at Caribbean Gardens in October 2025.
Opening on a Saturday gives travelling fans a weekend option at the start of the leg as well as the Friday and Saturday in Brisbane at the end.
The Sydney show falls on Tuesday 11 May 2027 at Afterpay Arena in Sydney Olympic Park, the arena formerly known as Qudos Bank Arena, which has carried its new name since July 2026. It sits in the same precinct as Sydney Showground, where she played on Saturday 25 October 2025.
Olympic Park station, on a spur line from Lidcombe, serves both venues; for a weeknight concert it is worth checking return services before the show.
As of 9 October 2026 the Australian leg covers only Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and there is no New Zealand date. Megan Moroney has never played New Zealand, Perth or Adelaide in the archive.
This page lists only confirmed shows. If the tour is extended, new dates will appear in the itinerary above.
Her October 2025 headline shows in Australia ran to 19 songs. The set mixed all three eras: “Hair Salon” and “Wonder” from the early EP, “Tennessee Orange”, “I'm Not Pretty” and “Lucky” from the debut album, “Am I Okay?”, “No Caller ID” and “Indifferent” from the second, and new songs “6 Months Later” and “Beautiful Things”.
The Cloud 9 Tour show is built around the new album, with the hits retained. Set lists from the North American and European legs, which run before the Australian dates, give the best guide; no Australian 2027 set list had been published as of 9 October 2026.
Laci Kaye Booth opens each night. Set times are usually confirmed by the venue in the week of the show.
Tickets for all four Australian shows have been on sale since Wednesday 9 September 2026 through the official outlets for each arena and the venues’ own box offices. Any presale period is over; remaining tickets are on general sale, and both Brisbane nights are listed separately, so check the date when buying.
There is no public Megan Moroney presale code to buy or share, and codes or “guaranteed” tickets advertised on social media are not genuine. Australian arena tickets are usually mobile tickets tied to the buyer’s account, so tickets bought from strangers can fail at the door; if a night sells out, use the official resale service of the original seller.
If more dates are added, in Australia or in New Zealand, they will be shown on this page. Sign up below for the alert.
