Regurgitator Australia Tour 2027

Regurgitator have not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no 2027 tour, no list of cities and no on-sale information. Their last run was Jukeboxxin', a singles tour that opened at Mayberry in Darwin on Friday 14 November 2025, crossed every state and territory between February and May 2026 and finished with five shows in New Zealand, the last of them at the Pearl Diver in Dunedin on Sunday 17 May 2026.

The Brisbane band, formed in late 1993 by Quan Yeomans, Ben Ely and Martin Lee, with Peter Kostic on drums since 1999, are among the most tireless touring acts in the country. Their recent record covers not only the Tivoli, the Forum and the Princess Theatre but also breweries in Tasmania, country pubs in South Australia, yacht clubs in the Pilbara and a community hall in Gippsland. They have also been regular visitors to New Zealand since 1996.

This page explains what is and is not known about Regurgitator's 2027 plans and tells the story of their concerts in Australia and New Zealand: the early Auckland and Wellington shows of the 1990s, the stadium dates with Kiss and Weezer in 2023, the It's So Invasive... Tour of 2024 and the long Jukeboxxin' run of 2025 and 2026.

Regurgitator Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official Regurgitator tour of Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No dates, venues or support acts have been published for next year, and the band do not appear among the 2027 tour announcements made so far for the region. Any list of Regurgitator 2027 dates, or any 'presale code' for them, should be treated as unconfirmed until the band announce a tour.

The band have just come off one of the longest tours of their career. Jukeboxxin', announced in August 2025, was a retrospective tour of the singles. Its first leg in November and December 2025 started in Darwin and Alice Springs and then concentrated on Victoria and New South Wales; in October 2025 the band added 31 more shows for February to May 2026, reaching every state and territory. DEM MOB supported on most dates, with Ratsalad and Lost Quokka in Western Australia, and CINDY opened the five New Zealand shows in May 2026.

Their most recent album is Invader, released in April 2024 and toured on the 23-date It's So Invasive... Tour from Hobart to Cairns. No new album has been announced since. Regurgitator have rarely gone a year without touring, but nothing for 2027 is official, and this page will not guess at dates or cities.

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

Regurgitator came out of Brisbane's early-1990s underground, where all three founders were already playing in other bands such as Pangaea. Their self-titled debut EP came out in October 1994 and was re-released by Warner in February 1995. The early Australian club shows predate the setlist archive, which picks up the story in New Zealand: Squid in Auckland on Thursday 18 January 1996, Mount Smart Stadium the next day, Lancaster Park in Christchurch and the Powerstation in Auckland in February 1997, and the Supertop in Auckland in January 1998.

The late 1990s were a busy time across the Tasman. The Caveat Emptour Tour played the Powerstation on Friday 31 July 1998 and the Indigo Bar in Wellington; the band were at Ericsson Stadium in Auckland on 15 January 1999; and the ArtTour for ...art visited the Mandalay in Auckland, Victoria University of Wellington and the Caledonian Hall in Christchurch from 30 September to 2 October 1999. In 2000 they returned to the University of Waikato in Hamilton, the Mandalay and Victoria University of Wellington.

Wikipedia recalls a dramatic episode of the Unit tour in late 1997: drummer Martin Lee failed to appear at a show at the University of Western Australia and was later found unconscious, spending a week in a coma. Powderfinger's Jon Coghill filled in for the rest of the tour. In June 2012 the band announced RetroTech, an Australian tour on which they played Tu-Plang and Unit in full, and in October 2017 they played a one-off 20th anniversary Unit show at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, later released on DVD.

Later New Zealand visits include Wellington's San Francisco Bath House and Mount Smart Stadium in January 2012, the Dirty Pop Tour at the Bodega in Wellington and the Kings Arms in Auckland in September 2013, and the Life Support Tour of March 2019 at the Whammy Bar in Auckland, the Yot Club in Raglan and Valhalla in Wellington. The 2026 Jukeboxxin' shows went back to the Whammy Bar on Tuesday 12 May, then Raglan, Meow in Wellington, the Loons Club in Lyttelton and the Pearl Diver in Dunedin.

In Australia the detailed record begins in 2023. In May that year the band toured 25 years of Unit with Custard, DZ Deathrays, Butterfingers and Glitoris. In October they opened for Weezer and, together with Weezer, supported Kiss at Accor Stadium in Sydney; the archive lists Accor Stadium on Saturday 7 October and the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Sunday 8 October 2023. The crushing it. 2023 dates in November took in Melton, Newcastle, the Gold Coast, Adelaide and two nights at Badlands Bar in Perth.

The It's So Invasive... Tour opened at the Odeon Theatre in Hobart on Friday 10 May 2024 and played Forth, Launceston, Geelong, Castlemaine, the Forum in Melbourne on Saturday 18 May, Perth, Fremantle, Margaret River, Wollongong, Newcastle, the Roundhouse in Sydney, Adelaide, Canberra, Albury, Byron Bay, the Gold Coast, two Brisbane nights at the Tivoli and the Princess Theatre, Mackay and Townsville, before ending at the Tanks Arts Centre in Cairns on Saturday 22 June 2024.

The table below lists 127 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Regurgitator between 1996 and 2026, with the most shows in Auckland (15), Wellington (9), Melbourne (9), Brisbane (7), Sydney (5), Perth (5). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Regurgitator Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Regurgitator formed in Brisbane in late 1993; the three founders reputedly met on a bus. Warner signed them early in 1995, and their second EP, New, gave them the radio hits 'Track 1' and 'Blubber Boy'. They recorded their debut album, Tu-Plang, in a pop studio in Bangkok; released in May 1996, it reached number 3, went platinum and won Best Alternative Release and Breakthrough Artist at the 1996 ARIA Awards. Its mix of rock, hip hop and dub, and its deliberately provocative lyrics, made the band notorious.

Unit (1997), recorded in a Brisbane warehouse the band called the Dirty Room, swapped guitars for synth-pop and opened with 'I Like Your Old Stuff Better Than Your New Stuff'. With 'Black Bugs', 'Polyester Girl' and '! (The Song Formerly Known As)', it went triple platinum and won five ARIA Awards in 1998, including Album of the Year. ...art (1999), recorded at Byron Bay, reached number 2, and 'Polyester Girl' and 'Happiness (Rotting My Brain)' both made the New Zealand top 20.

Martin Lee left in late 1999 and was replaced by Peter Kostic. After Eduardo and Rodriguez Wage War on T-Wrecks (2001) the band left Warner and in 2004 recorded Mish Mash! inside a glass studio at Federation Square in Melbourne for the Channel V project Band in a Bubble. Love and Paranoia was recorded in Rio de Janeiro in 2007, followed by Super Happy Fun Times Friends (2011) and Dirty Pop Fantasy (2013), made in Hong Kong, where Yeomans lived. The band then took a break, returning with the Cheap Imitations tour in August 2015.

Headroxx followed in 2018 and the children's spin-off Regurgitator's Pogogo Show released The Really Really Really Really Boring Album in 2019, nominated for an ARIA. The best-of Quarter Pounder: 25 Years of Being Consumed came out in October 2019 with a national tour, and Invader arrived in April 2024, after which Sarah Lim joined as a touring musician on keytar, guitar and bass. The band have won seven ARIA Awards from 23 nominations.

Regurgitator Australia Tour 2027: every state and territory

Jukeboxxin' was a deliberate attempt to reach the whole country. After opening in Darwin and Alice Springs in November 2025, the band played Warrnambool, Torquay, Castlemaine, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour and Woy Woy before Christmas, then in 2026 went to Mount Gambier, Adelaide, Port Lincoln, Hobart, Launceston, Ulverstone, San Remo, Ballarat, Bendigo, Byron Bay, the Gold Coast, Caloundra, Fremantle, Dunsborough, Perth, Ulladulla, Canberra and Albury.

The last weeks took them to Wollongong, Newcastle, Sydney, three Melbourne venues, Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, two Brisbane nights at the Tivoli and the Princess Theatre on 24 and 25 April, Toowoomba, Liberty Hall in Sydney, Bathurst and the Blue Mountains Theatre in Springwood on Sunday 3 May 2026. Few Australian bands of their generation have mapped the country so completely in one tour.

Regurgitator Australia Tour 2027: Auckland, Raglan and the South Island

New Zealand has seen Regurgitator more often than many larger Australian acts. The archive lists more than 30 New Zealand shows since January 1996, mostly in Auckland and Wellington but also in Christchurch, Hamilton, Raglan, Lyttelton and Dunedin.

The Whammy Bar in Auckland hosted both the 2019 Life Support Tour and the 2026 Jukeboxxin' shows, and Raglan, a surf town on the west coast of the North Island, has had them twice. The May 2026 run was the band's first visit to Dunedin in the archive.

Regurgitator Australia Tour 2027: Brisbane, the home town

Brisbane remains the band's anchor. The Tivoli and the Princess Theatre hosted back-to-back nights on the It's So Invasive... Tour in June 2024 and again on Jukeboxxin' in April 2026, and the Brisbane Entertainment Centre had them on the Weezer bill in October 2023.

The city's influence on their story runs deep: the Dirty Room warehouse studio where Unit was made, the early-1990s underground scene that produced Pangaea and Regurgitator, and the long relationship with producer Magoo.

Regurgitator Australia Tour 2027: the Unit nights

Unit is the album most fans come for. The band played it in full on the RetroTech tour of 2012, celebrated its 20th anniversary at the Gold Coast in October 2017 and toured its 25th anniversary in May 2023 with Custard, DZ Deathrays, Butterfingers and Glitoris.

Its songs remain the backbone of every set: 'Black Bugs', 'Polyester Girl', 'I Like Your Old Stuff Better Than Your New Stuff', 'Everyday Formula' and '! (The Song Formerly Known As)' were all played on the 2026 tour.

Regurgitator Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

Jukeboxxin' shows were long: 30 to 35 songs on many nights. At Mayberry in Darwin on 14 November 2025 the set ran from 'Kong Foo Sing' and 'Pest' through 'Tsunami', 'Blubber Boy', 'The Drop', 'Distractions', 'One Day', 'Track 1', 'Everyday Formula', 'Happiness', 'My Friend Robot', 'Superstraight', 'This is Not a Pop Song', 'Modern Life', 'Polyester Girl' and 'Black Bugs', ending with 'Blood and Spunk' and '! (The Song Formerly Known As)'. By May 2026 the Auckland set at the Whammy Bar was a tighter 25 songs.

The It's So Invasive... shows of 2024 mixed Invader songs such as 'INVADER', 'Wrong People', 'Content' and 'Australiyeah' with the classics; at the Forum in Melbourne on 18 May 2024 the encore was a cover of Simple Minds' 'Don't You (Forget About Me)'. At the Accor Stadium show with Kiss in 2023 the 15-song set included a cover of Metallica's 'Enter Sandman'.

The band play as a three-piece plus Sarah Lim, swapping instruments and switching between punk, hip hop and synth-pop within a few songs.
