Rodrigo y Gabriela bring the Our Home Tour to Australia in January 2027. The Mexican acoustic guitar duo of Rodrigo Sánchez and Gabriela Quintero open at The Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on Wednesday 13 January 2027 and finish at the Regal Theatre in Perth on Thursday 21 January, six theatre shows in nine days.
Between those dates they play the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Thursday 14 January, the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on Friday 15 January, the Odeon Theatre in Hobart on Sunday 17 January and The Gov in Adelaide on Tuesday 19 January. The tour follows OurHome, the album they released on 18 September 2026.
Few international acts have played Australia as often in the past twenty years. This page lists the 2027 dates and venues and walks through the duo's documented Australian and New Zealand concerts since 2006, from Bluesfest and Falls to the Sydney Opera House, WOMADelaide and a national theatre tour in April 2025.
The 2027 run starts on the east coast in mid-summer. Brisbane's Fortitude Music Hall hosts the opening night on Wednesday 13 January, followed by the Enmore Theatre in Newtown on Thursday 14 January and the Palais Theatre in St Kilda on Friday 15 January: three capital cities on three consecutive nights.
After a day off, the duo cross Bass Strait for the Odeon Theatre in Hobart on Sunday 17 January 2027. It is their first Hobart show in the setlist.fm archive, although they played the Falls Festival at Marion Bay in Tasmania on New Year's Eve 2012.
The tour then heads west. Adelaide gets The Gov in Hindmarsh on Tuesday 19 January, the same venue they played in April 2025, and the run closes at the Regal Theatre in Subiaco, Perth, on Thursday 21 January 2027. Perth was not part of the 2025 tour, so the Regal date is the duo's first Perth headline show since the Astor Theatre in March 2018.
As of 9 October 2026, no New Zealand date and no support act had been announced. The six shows are all headline concerts in seated or mixed theatres, a step up in a few cities from the 2025 rooms such as the Playhouse in Brisbane and the Northcote Theatre in Melbourne.
The Fortitude Music Hall opened in July 2019 on the Brunswick Street Mall in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. It holds about 3,000 people standing and was built to fill the gap for a mid-sized concert hall in the city.
The Enmore Theatre on Enmore Road in Newtown, in Sydney's inner west, opened in 1912 and was remodelled in Art Deco style in 1937. It holds about 1,700 seated or 2,500 standing and is the longest-running live theatre in Sydney.
The Palais Theatre on the Lower Esplanade in St Kilda opened in 1927, designed by Henry Eli White, and seats about 2,896, making it the largest seated theatre in Australia. Listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, it has hosted acts from the Rolling Stones to the Bolshoi ballet.
The Odeon Theatre at 167 Liverpool Street opened in 1916 as The Strand, modelled on the Strand in New York, and holds about 1,690 people. It housed a Wurlitzer organ from 1918 and was the home of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra from 1973 to 2001.
The Gov is the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel on Port Road in Hindmarsh, a pub dating from 1848 that was turned into a major live music venue in 1993. It won national best live music venue honours in 2017 and has been inducted into the SA Music Hall of Fame.
The Regal Theatre at 474 Hay Street, Subiaco, opened on 27 April 1938 as an Art Deco cinema designed by William G. Bennett. It became a live theatre in 1977, seats about 1,074 and has been on the Western Australian heritage register since 1995.
Wednesday 13 January 2027 — The Fortitude Music Hall, Brisbane. Their most recent documented Brisbane show was at Playhouse on 13 April 2025. The tour starts here.
Thursday 14 January 2027 — Enmore Theatre, Sydney. Their previous show at this venue was on 14 April 2025.
Friday 15 January 2027 — Palais Theatre, Melbourne. Their previous show at this venue was on 19 April 2011.
Sunday 17 January 2027 — Odeon Theatre, Hobart.
Tuesday 19 January 2027 — The Gov, Adelaide. In Adelaide, the last documented Rodrigo y Gabriela concert was at The Governor Hindmarsh Hotel (21 April 2025).
Thursday 21 January 2027 — Regal Theatre, Perth. Their most recent documented Perth show was at Astor Theatre on 13 March 2018. This venue closes the tour.
The setlist.fm archive first finds Rodrigo y Gabriela in Australia at Newington Armory in Sydney on 15 April 2006, weeks after their self-titled album was released internationally. They returned in March 2008, playing two days at Belongil Fields in Byron Bay (23 and 24 March), Point Nepean Quarantine Station at Portsea on 22 March, the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on 26 March and the Forum Theatre in Melbourne on 27 March.
The summer of 2009-10 was their biggest Australian season. After New Year's Eve at Lorne on 31 December 2009, they played the Enmore Theatre (3 January 2010), the Palais Theatre in Melbourne (5 January), the City Botanic Gardens in Brisbane (6 January) and Sir Stewart Bovell Park in Busselton (8 January), then crossed to the Aotea Centre in Auckland on 11 January 2010, their first New Zealand concert in the archive.
In April 2011 they were back for Easter: Fremantle Park on 17 April, the Palais Theatre on 19 April, the Enmore on 20 April and Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm in Byron Bay on 22 April. Another summer run followed in 2012-13, with Lorne on 29 December, Marion Bay on 31 December, the Concert Hall in Sydney on 2 January 2013 and Busselton on 5 January. In 2015 came Fremantle Park (29 March), two days at Tyagarah (4 and 5 April) and the Concert Hall again on 9 April; Wikipedia records that they played the Sydney Opera House that year.
March 2018 brought a mix of festival and headline dates: Botanic Park in Adelaide on 9 March, the Forum Theatre in Melbourne on 10 March, the Astor Theatre in Perth on 13 March, the Enmore on 15 March and The Tivoli in Brisbane on 16 March, before the duo flew to New Plymouth for the TSB Bowl of Brooklands on 18 March 2018, their second New Zealand show.
The most recent visit was a theatre tour in April 2025 that reached further into regional New South Wales and the ACT than before: the Playhouse in Brisbane (13 April), the Enmore (14 April), Anita's Theatre in Wollongong (16 April), Canberra Theatre (17 April), Crossroads in Byron Bay (20 April), The Governor Hindmarsh Hotel in Adelaide (21 April) and the Northcote Theatre in Melbourne (23 April 2025).
Across the archive, Sydney's Enmore Theatre stands out: the duo have played it in 2008, 2010, 2011, 2018 and 2025, and it is on the 2027 route again. Melbourne's Palais Theatre, where they played in 2010 and 2011, returns too, after the Forum in 2008 and 2018 and the Northcote Theatre in 2025.
The table below lists 36 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Rodrigo y Gabriela between 2006 and 2025, with the most shows in Sydney (8), Byron Bay (6), Melbourne (5), Brisbane (3), Adelaide (2), Fremantle (2). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Across the 3 most recent documented Australia/NZ concerts with a full song list (20 April 2011 to 18 March 2018), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Rodrigo y Gabriela have been a festival favourite in Australia. They have played Bluesfest in Byron Bay several times: at Belongil Fields in March 2008, at Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm in April 2011 and April 2015, and in the Crossroads tent in April 2025. They saw in two New Years at the Falls Festival, at Lorne in 2009 and at both Lorne and Marion Bay in 2012, and played Sir Stewart Bovell Park in Busselton, home of the Southbound festival, in January 2010 and January 2013.
In Western Australia they played Fremantle Park, the West Coast Blues 'n Roots site, in 2011 and 2015. In March 2018 they appeared at WOMADelaide in Adelaide's Botanic Park and, a week later, at WOMAD New Zealand in New Plymouth's TSB Bowl of Brooklands, where their set included Metallica's “Orion”, Dave Brubeck's “Take Five” and Rage Against the Machine's “Killing in the Name”.
The 2027 Our Home Tour is made up entirely of their own headline shows; no festival appearance in Australia or New Zealand had been announced as of 9 October 2026.
Rodrigo Sánchez and Gabriela Quintero grew up in Mexico City and met as teenagers through a shared love of heavy metal; they played together in the heavy metal band Tierra Ácida in the 1990s. In 1997 they left for the Pacific resort town of Ixtapa, playing beach bars, and then moved to Europe, settling in Dublin, where they spent the first eight years of their career as a duo.
Damien Rice invited them to open for him, and their manager Niall Muckian released re-Foc (2002) and a live album on his Rubyworks label. Touring with David Gray in 2005 led to a deal with ATO Records, and the John Leckie-produced Rodrigo y Gabriela (2006) went to number one in Ireland, with covers of Led Zeppelin's “Stairway to Heaven” and Metallica's “Orion”. Their “Tamacun” was used in the pilot of Breaking Bad.
11:11 (2009) featured Testament's Alex Skolnick and brought wider fame, including a performance at the White House for President Barack Obama in 2010. They worked with Hans Zimmer on the score of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011), recorded Area 52 (2012) with the Cuban orchestra C.U.B.A. and released 9 Dead Alive in 2014.
Mettavolution (2019) won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album, and In Between Thoughts… A New World followed in 2023. In June 2026 they released “Monster”, with a video featuring art by the manga author Naoki Urasawa, as the lead single of OurHome, which came out on 18 September 2026 and gives the 2027 tour its name.

No Australian venue has hosted Rodrigo y Gabriela more often than the Enmore Theatre in Newtown. The archive lists shows there on 26 March 2008, 3 January 2010, 20 April 2011, 15 March 2018 and 14 April 2025, and the duo return on Thursday 14 January 2027.
The 20 April 2011 set list shows what a classic Enmore night looked like: “Hanuman”, “Diablo Rojo”, “Triveni”, “11:11”, “Santo Domingo”, the “Gabriela Solo”, “Ixtapa”, the “Rodrigo Solo”, “Savitri”, “Tamacun” and “Buster Voodoo”. The theatre, opened in 1912, is Sydney's longest-running live venue.
Hobart is the new city on the 2027 map. The Odeon Theatre on Liverpool Street, opened in 1916 as The Strand and later the home of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, hosts the duo on Sunday 17 January 2027.
Tasmanian fans have seen them only once before in the archive, at the Falls Festival at Marion Bay on New Year's Eve 2012, a festival set rather than a full concert. The Odeon date is the first Tasmanian headline show in the documented record.
Western Australia has a long history with the duo, from Busselton in 2010 and 2013 to Fremantle Park in 2011 and 2015 and the Astor Theatre in Perth in March 2018. The April 2025 tour skipped the west entirely, which makes the closing night at the Regal Theatre in Subiaco on Thursday 21 January 2027 their first Perth show in almost nine years.
The Regal, on Hay Street, opened in 1938 as an Art Deco cinema, became a live theatre in 1977 and seats about 1,070.
Rodrigo y Gabriela have often visited in the Australian summer: the 2009-10 and 2012-13 runs both started with New Year's Eve at the Falls Festival and continued with headline shows in early January. The 2027 Our Home Tour returns to that calendar, with all six shows between 13 and 21 January.
Unlike those years, there are no festival sets this time. The emphasis is on full-length concerts in theatres, which suits a duo whose shows rely on hearing every percussive hit on the guitar body.
A Rodrigo y Gabriela concert is just two acoustic guitars, amplified, with Rodrigo playing lead lines and Gabriela driving the rhythm with a percussive right hand that turns the guitar body into a drum kit. Their sets usually include a solo spot for each of them and mix their own pieces with heavy metal and rock covers.
The documented Australian and New Zealand sets lean on “Diablo Rojo”, “Tamacun”, “Hanuman”, “Savitri”, “11:11” and the two solo spots. At the Sydney Concert Hall on 2 January 2013 they played “Diablo Rojo”, “Chac Mool”, “Savitri”, “Hora Zero”, “Buster Voodoo”, “11:11”, “Juan Loco”, “Santo Domingo”, “Hanuman” and “Tamacun”; in New Plymouth in 2018 the covers included “Orion” and “Killing in the Name”.
For 2027, expect the new OurHome material, including “Monster”, alongside favourites from Mettavolution and the older records. The full set list for the tour has not been published.
Tickets went on general sale on Friday 28 August 2026, after a promoter presale that opened on Wednesday 26 August. They are sold through the official ticketing outlets listed by each venue and at the venue box offices. Remember that the Perth show is at the Regal Theatre in Subiaco, not the Astor, where the duo last played Perth.
There is no public Rodrigo y Gabriela presale code to buy or share, and the presale has closed. Codes or guaranteed seats advertised on social media are not genuine; if a night sells out, use only the official resale service of the original seller, as many Australian theatres now issue name-locked mobile tickets.
