Muse Australia Tour 2027

Muse have 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 the books for either country. The band's current campaign, built around their tenth album The Wow! Signal (released on 26 June 2026), began with a North American tour in July 2026 and moves into European arenas from November 2026 to January 2027.

That leaves Australian fans waiting on a band that once came here almost every other year. Between 2000 and 2013 the Teignmouth trio of Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard played Australia on every album cycle, from pub and club rooms in 2000 to two Big Day Out tours as a rising act, a headline slot on the 2010 Big Day Out and arena runs at Rod Laver Arena, Sydney's arena at Homebush and the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. Their last Australian concerts in the setlist archive were in December 2017, at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney and Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.

This page sets out what is and is not known about Muse and Australia in 2027, then gives a full account of their concerts in Australia and New Zealand, with the cities, venues, festival stages and songs that defined each visit. When anything official is announced for Australia or New Zealand, the dates will appear here.

Muse Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about Muse concerts in Australia or New Zealand in 2027. The dates that have been announced for 2027 are all in Europe: The Wow! Signal Europa Tour continues in January 2027 with Lisbon's MEO Arena on 10 January, two nights at the Arkéa Arena in Bordeaux (12 and 13 January), two at the LDLC Arena in Lyon (16 and 17 January), two at the Movistar Arena in Madrid (19 and 20 January) and two at the Roig Arena in Valencia (23 and 24 January). A summer date at the Lucca Summer Festival in Italy on 17 July 2027 has also been confirmed.

Before that, the European arena leg runs through November and December 2026, from Manchester and London to Berlin, Milan, Düsseldorf, Paris, Amsterdam, Montpellier and Zurich. None of these announcements mentions Australia, New Zealand or Asia, and no Australian promoter has listed a Muse show.

Muse's past tours suggest why fans keep an eye out. The band brought Absolution, Black Holes and Revelations, The Resistance and The 2nd Law to Australia, usually within a year of each album. The Simulation Theory World Tour of 2019 and the Will of the People World Tour that began in 2022 did not include Australian dates in the setlist archive, so a return in 2027 would end a gap of almost a decade. That is a reason for hope, not a fact: until the band or a promoter announces dates, treat any list of Australian cities, any 'presale code' or any ticket listing for a 2027 Muse show here with suspicion.

If an Oceania leg does follow the European dates, it would be announced through the band's own channels and the usual Australian and New Zealand ticket outlets. Sign up on this page to receive an alert as soon as anything official appears.

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

Muse first came to Australia in March 2000, a few months after their debut album Showbiz. The setlist archive records a set at the Evelyn Hotel in Melbourne's Fitzroy on 8 March 2000 and an appearance at the Newtown RSL in Sydney the next day, alongside radio and television sessions. They returned in October 2000 for a short club tour: the Metro City Concert Club in Perth on 18 October, the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel in Adelaide on 19 October, the Palace in Melbourne on 20 October, the Big Top in Brisbane on 21 October and two Sydney shows at the Roundhouse and City Live. At the Palace and City Live they played around 15 songs, with 'Uno', 'Sunburn', 'Muscle Museum' and early versions of 'Plug In Baby' already in the set.

Absolution brought them back twice in 2004. In January and February they toured with the Big Day Out, from Ericsson Stadium in Auckland on 16 January to the Gold Coast, two Sydney days, Melbourne, Adelaide and Claremont Showground in Perth on 1 February, squeezing in sideshows at the Metro Theatre in Sydney on 19 January and the Hi-Fi in Melbourne on 27 January. In September 2004 they returned as headliners: the Metro City in Perth on 5 September, Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide, Festival Hall in Melbourne on 8 September, the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on 10 September, the Riverstage in Brisbane on 12 September and the St James Theatre in Auckland on 14 September.

The Black Holes and Revelations era was their biggest Australian year. In January 2007 they were back on the Big Day Out, opening at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland on 19 January, with headline sideshows at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on 23 and 24 January and Festival Hall in Melbourne on 30 and 31 January. In November 2007 came a full arena tour: the Supreme Court Gardens in Perth on 10 November, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on 14 November, Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on 15 November, the Sydney Entertainment Centre on 17 November and the Riverstage in Brisbane on 21 November, before The Trusts Arena in Auckland on 23 November and the Westpac Arena in Christchurch on 25 November, their only concert in the South Island in the archive.

For The Resistance Muse headlined the 2010 Big Day Out, playing Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland on 15 January, the Gold Coast, two Sydney days on 22 and 23 January, Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on 26 January, Adelaide and Claremont Showground in Perth on 31 January. They came back in December 2010 for their own arena shows: two nights at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre (5 and 6 December), two at Acer Arena in Sydney (9 and 10 December), two at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne (14 and 15 December) and an outdoor show at Bassendean Oval in Perth on 19 December.

The 2nd Law World Tour reached Australia at the end of 2013, with production designed for arenas: Perth Arena on 30 November, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on 4 December, two nights at Rod Laver Arena on 6 and 7 December, the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 10 December and Allphones Arena in Sydney on 13 December. Sets ran to 21 to 23 songs, opening with 'The 2nd Law: Isolated System' and 'Supremacy'.

The most recent Australian concerts in the archive came in December 2017, between the Drones and Simulation Theory albums: Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on 16 December and Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on 18 December 2017. Both opened with the then-new single 'Dig Down' and closed with 'Knights of Cydonia'. Since then the band has not played Australia or New Zealand, according to the setlist archive.

The table below lists 61 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Muse between 2000 and 2017, with the most shows in Sydney (16), Melbourne (15), Perth (8), Adelaide (7), Brisbane (6), Auckland (5). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Muse Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

The Big Day Out is the festival most closely tied to Muse in Australia and New Zealand. They played the touring festival three times: in January 2004 for Absolution, in January 2007 for Black Holes and Revelations, and in January 2010 as one of the headliners for The Resistance, a booking the band's own history lists alongside Coachella and Glastonbury in that year's festival run.

Each Big Day Out tour followed the festival's circuit of Auckland, the Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. Their festival sets were short by Muse standards, around 11 or 12 songs in 2004 and 2007 and about 16 in 2010, which is why the band added their own sideshows in Sydney and Melbourne on the first two visits. Muse are not listed on any 2026 or 2027 festival bill in Australia or New Zealand.

Muse Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Muse formed in Teignmouth, Devon, in 1994. Matt Bellamy (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), Chris Wolstenholme (bass, backing vocals) and Dominic Howard (drums) had played together in school bands before settling on the name. Their debut album Showbiz (1999) introduced Bellamy's falsetto and a melancholic alternative rock sound; Origin of Symmetry (2001) added classical influences and built their reputation as a live band.

Absolution (2003), with 'Time Is Running Out', 'Hysteria' and 'Butterflies and Hurricanes', was the first of a run of UK number-one albums. Black Holes and Revelations (2006), led by 'Supermassive Black Hole' and 'Knights of Cydonia', brought wider international success and became their first number one in Australia. The Resistance (2009) and The 2nd Law (2012) explored themes of oppression and uprising and made Muse one of the world's major stadium acts.

Drones (2015), a concept album about drone warfare, topped the US Billboard 200 and the Australian chart and won the Grammy for Best Rock Album. Simulation Theory (2018) leaned on 1980s-style synthesisers, and Will of the People (2022) mixed many of the genres and themes of earlier records. Their tenth album, The Wow! Signal (2026), was shaped by space, the search for extraterrestrial life and Bellamy's split from his wife.

Muse have won two Grammy Awards, two Brit Awards, five MTV Europe Music Awards and eight NME Awards, and received the Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement in 2012. By 2022 they had sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. In Australia, four of their albums have reached number one: Black Holes and Revelations, The Resistance, Drones and Will of the People, while The Wow! Signal peaked at number two.

Muse Australia Tour 2027: what has been announced so far

As of 9 October 2026 the confirmed Muse dates for 2027 are in Europe only: Lisbon (10 January), Bordeaux (12 and 13 January), Lyon (16 and 17 January), Madrid (19 and 20 January) and Valencia (23 and 24 January), plus the Lucca Summer Festival on 17 July 2027. Valencia's second night was added because of demand and is billed as the last date of the European tour.

For Australian and New Zealand fans the important point is what is missing: there is no Oceania leg, no Asian leg and no Australian festival booking. Previous album cycles reached Australia anywhere from a few months to more than a year after release, so a later announcement cannot be ruled out, but nothing has been published.

Muse Australia Tour 2027: the Melbourne nights

Melbourne has seen more Muse concerts than any other Australian city in the archive. The run starts with the Evelyn Hotel and the Palace in 2000, continues through the Hi-Fi and Festival Hall in 2004 and two more Festival Hall nights in January 2007, and moves up to Rod Laver Arena in November 2007, two nights there in December 2010, two more in December 2013 and a final show on 18 December 2017.

The city has also hosted three Muse Big Day Out sets, at the festival's Melbourne sites in 2004, 2007 (Princes Park) and 2010 (Flemington Racecourse). Any future Australian run would almost certainly include Melbourne; whether at Rod Laver Arena again or somewhere larger has never been announced.

Muse Australia Tour 2027: Sydney, from the Hordern to Homebush

In Sydney the band's growth is easy to trace. In 2000 they played the Newtown RSL, the Roundhouse and City Live; in 2004 the Metro Theatre and then the Hordern Pavilion; in January 2007 two nights at the Hordern; in November 2007 the Sydney Entertainment Centre. From 2010 they moved to the arena at Sydney Olympic Park, which the archive lists under three names: Acer Arena for the two nights of December 2010, Allphones Arena in December 2013 and Qudos Bank Arena on 16 December 2017.

Sydney also had two Big Day Out days in each of 2004 and 2010, and one in 2007, so the city has heard Muse at a festival five times, more than anywhere else in Australia.

Muse Australia Tour 2027: Auckland, Christchurch and New Zealand

New Zealand has had six Muse concerts in the archive, five of them in Auckland. Three were Big Day Out sets: at Ericsson Stadium in January 2004 and at Mount Smart Stadium in January 2007 and January 2010. The band's own Auckland headline shows were at the St James Theatre on 14 September 2004 and The Trusts Arena on 23 November 2007.

The only show outside Auckland was at the Westpac Arena in Christchurch on 25 November 2007, the last night of that year's Oceania tour. Muse did not play New Zealand on their 2010 arena tour, their 2013 tour or their 2017 visit, so the country has gone without a Muse concert since the Big Day Out of January 2010.

Muse Australia Tour 2027: Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane

Muse have rarely skipped the other mainland capitals. Perth has had the Metro City (2000 and 2004), Claremont Showground for three Big Day Outs, the Supreme Court Gardens in 2007, Bassendean Oval in 2010 and Perth Arena in 2013. Adelaide went from the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel and Thebarton Theatre to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in 2007 and 2013.

Brisbane's shows were at the Big Top in 2000, the Riverstage in 2004 and 2007, and the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, with two nights in December 2010 and one in December 2013. Brisbane and Adelaide were not part of the short 2017 visit, which played only Sydney and Melbourne.

Muse Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

Across all the Australian and New Zealand concerts in the setlist archive, the songs played most often are 'Plug In Baby', 'Time Is Running Out', 'Hysteria', 'Stockholm Syndrome', 'New Born', 'Supermassive Black Hole', 'Starlight' and 'Knights of Cydonia', which closed most of their arena shows from 2007 onwards. 'Butterflies and Hurricanes', 'Map of the Problematique', 'Citizen Erased' and 'Uprising' also appear regularly.

Set lengths grew with the venues. Club shows in 2000 ran to about 15 songs and festival sets to 11 or 12. The December 2010 arena shows had around 19 songs, with 'Uprising' and 'Resistance' at the start, 'United States of Eurasia' and 'Feeling Good' in the middle and 'Exogenesis: Symphony, Part 1: Overture' in the encores. The 2013 arena sets reached 21 to 23 songs, including 'Panic Station', 'Madness', 'Follow Me', 'Explorers' and 'Survival'.

The last Australian set lists, from December 2017, had 19 songs: 'Dig Down' and 'Psycho' at the start, 'Mercy', 'The Globalist' and 'Dead Inside' from Drones, and 'Uprising' and 'Knights of Cydonia' at the end. The 2026 shows draw on The Wow! Signal, so any future Australian set would be expected to feature songs such as 'Unravelling', 'Be with You' and 'Cryogen', but no Australian set list for this era exists yet.

Muse Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no Muse tickets for Australia or New Zealand in 2027 because no concerts have been announced. Any website offering seats, 'early access' or a 'presale code' for a Muse 2027 show in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide or Auckland is selling something that does not exist.

When Muse announce dates, the usual pattern for their tours is an artist presale for fans registered with the band, followed by promoter or partner presales and then a general sale through the official ticketing outlets and venue box offices. Australian arenas now mostly use mobile tickets linked to the buyer's account, so buy only through official outlets.

The simplest way to hear about any Australian or New Zealand Muse date is to sign up below for the alert: you will receive an email as soon as an official announcement, presale or general sale is published.
