Skrillex Australia Tour 2027

Skrillex has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no headline tour, festival booking or club date Down Under on his schedule. The one 2027 booking confirmed so far is in Europe: the closing set of Primavera Sound in Barcelona, 2 to 6 June 2027, played back-to-back with the Australian producer Ninajirachi, on a day the festival has not yet announced.

Few international electronic artists have spent as much time on Australian stages as Sonny Moore. Since his first small club shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth in 2010, he has come back in 2011, 2012, over New Year 2013-14, in 2014, 2018 and 2023, playing everything from the Oxford Art Factory and the Enmore Theatre to showgrounds, racecourses and parks in every mainland state capital. His most recent visit, in September and October 2023, took in Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland.

This page explains what is and is not announced for 2027, lists every documented Skrillex show in Australia and New Zealand, and looks at the songs, venues and nights that shaped his relationship with the region. When a date is confirmed it will appear here; sign up below for the alert.

Skrillex Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

Status on 9 October 2026: nothing announced for Australia or New Zealand. No promoter, festival or venue in either country has published a Skrillex date for 2027. His 2026 calendar has been built around American festivals and one-off shows, from Petco Park in San Diego on New Year's Day to Bonnaroo in June and Austin City Limits on 2 October 2026, and no Oceania date has appeared.

The only 2027 booking announced so far is Primavera Sound Barcelona, at the Parc del Fòrum from 2 to 6 June 2027, where he closes the festival back-to-back with Ninajirachi. Festival passes for Barcelona went on sale in October 2026. That booking is a European festival slot and says nothing about Australian plans.

Skrillex rarely tours in the classic sense. His Australian visits have mostly come as part of large touring festival bills, with a handful of club or theatre shows added around them, and they have usually been announced only a few months ahead. Australian summer festival line-ups are revealed through the second half of the year, so a booking could still appear. Until a promoter confirms it, any list of 2027 Australian dates or any 'presale code' is not official.

If he does return, the pattern of his last three visits suggests the most likely cities are Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, with Auckland often added on the way. That is history, not an announcement: no date, city or venue is confirmed for 2027.

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

Skrillex's documented Australian story begins with three small shows in the spring of 2010, a few months after My Name Is Skrillex came out as a free download. The archive lists Rats at the Colonial Hotel in Melbourne on 28 August 2010, Candy's Apartment in Sydney on 3 September and ARTBAR at the Art Gallery of Western Australia in Perth on 5 September 2010, the kind of rooms where a few hundred people could see the new dubstep act up close.

By April 2011, after Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, he was back on a much larger scale. The run started in New Zealand at Union Hall in Dunedin on Wednesday 20 April and Vector Arena in Auckland on Thursday 21 April 2011, then moved to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on 22 April, Claremont Showground in Perth on 23 April, the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds on Anzac Day, Monday 25 April, and the AIS Arena in Canberra on 26 April. Between the big dates he squeezed in club shows at the Prince Bandroom in Melbourne and the Oxford Art Factory in Sydney, followed by the Hordern Pavilion on Saturday 30 April and the Brisbane Showgrounds on 1 May 2011.

March 2012 was the busiest visit of all. After Vector Arena in Auckland on Friday 2 March, he played Doomben Racecourse in Brisbane, Arena Joondalup in Perth, the Villa nightclub in Perth, the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Wednesday 7 March, Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour on 9 March, Royal Randwick Racecourse on 10 March, Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne and Inveresk Park in Launceston on 11 March, and Ellis Park in Adelaide on Monday 12 March 2012. Swedish House Mafia played several of the same racecourse and parkland sites on the same days.

He saw in 2014 in Australia: a New Year's Eve show at the Bondi Pavilion in Sydney on 31 December 2013, then Surfers Paradise Beach on the Gold Coast on 4 January and Vanity Nightclub the next night. In late 2014 he returned for a run of showground dates: Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland on Friday 28 November, the Sydney Showground on 29 November, Claremont Showground in Perth on 30 November, the Adelaide Showground and the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds on 6 December and the Brisbane Showgrounds on 7 December 2014.

In September 2018 he played outdoor sites again: Catani Gardens in St Kilda, Melbourne, on Saturday 22 September, HBF Arena in Perth on 23 September, Spark Arena in Auckland on 28 September, Centennial Park in Sydney on 29 September and Victoria Park in Brisbane on 30 September, with a show at The MET in Brisbane on 1 October 2018.

His most recent visit came with the Quest for Fire / Don't Get Too Close tour in 2023: Ellis Park in Adelaide on Friday 22 September, the Brisbane Showgrounds on 23 September, HBF Arena in Perth on 24 September, the Caribbean Gardens in Melbourne on Friday 29 September, Centennial Park in Sydney on 30 September and Go Media Stadium in Auckland on Sunday 1 October 2023. The Melbourne night produced one of the longest documented set lists of his Australian career, with more than 40 tracks.

The table below lists 43 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Skrillex between 2010 and 2023, with the most shows in Sydney (9), Melbourne (7), Brisbane (7), Perth (6), Auckland (5), Adelaide (4). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Skrillex Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Sonny John Moore was born on 15 January 1988 and grew up in Northeast Los Angeles and San Francisco. He began his career in 2004 as the lead singer of the post-hardcore band From First to Last, recording two albums with them before leaving in 2007. After a solo EP, Gypsyhook (2009), and a cancelled debut album, he began performing as Skrillex and released the dubstep EP My Name Is Skrillex as a free download in 2010.

Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (2010) and Bangarang (2011) made him one of the defining figures of the dance boom of the early 2010s; Bangarang reached No. 4 in Australia. At the 54th Grammy Awards he won Best Dance/Electronic Album, Best Dance Recording and Best Remixed Recording, and was nominated for Best New Artist. His debut studio album, Recess (2014), reached No. 4 in both Australia and the United States.

He has formed two notable partnerships: Jack Ü with Diplo and Dog Blood with Boys Noize. Jack Ü's 'Where Are Ü Now' with Justin Bieber became a global hit. He also produced and mixed 8, the 2017 album by Incubus, and reunited briefly with From First to Last for the single 'Make War'.

In February 2023 he released two albums a day apart, Quest for Fire and Don't Get Too Close; the first reached No. 33 in Australia. 'Rumble' with Fred again.. and Flowdan brought his ninth Grammy, the most of any electronic dance act. His fourth album, known by its long title Fuck U Skrillex You Think Ur Andy Warhol but Ur Not!! <3, was surprise-released in 2025, and a fifth, Soma, followed in 2026.

Skrillex Australia Tour 2027: fifteen years of Australian visits

Between 2010 and 2023 Skrillex played in Australia in seven different years, which makes him one of the most regular international electronic visitors of his generation. Each trip matched a stage of his career: tiny rooms when he was a newcomer, arenas and showgrounds after Scary Monsters, racecourses during the 2012 peak, and parks and gardens in the later visits.

The places changed but the core cities did not. Sydney has seen him on every visit since 2010, Melbourne on all but the New Year trip of 2013-14, Brisbane and Perth on most of them, and Adelaide in 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2023. Canberra (AIS Arena, 2011), Launceston (Inveresk Park, 2012) and the Gold Coast (2014) were one-off stops.

By October 2026, three years have passed since the last visit, still shorter than the four-year gap between 2014 and 2018. With no 2027 date yet, the timing of the next visit remains open.

Skrillex Australia Tour 2027: Sydney nights

Sydney has the richest list of all. It runs from Candy's Apartment in 2010 to the Oxford Art Factory and the Hordern Pavilion in 2011, the Enmore Theatre, Cockatoo Island and Royal Randwick in March 2012, the Bondi Pavilion on New Year's Eve 2013, the Sydney Showground in 2014 and Centennial Park in 2018 and 2023.

The Enmore show of 7 March 2012 is a good example of how he used smaller venues around big festival dates: a full set of more than 25 tracks in a historic Newtown theatre, a few days before tens of thousands saw him at Randwick. Cockatoo Island, the former shipyard in Sydney Harbour, was another unusual setting two days earlier.

Centennial Park became his Sydney home in the later years, with outdoor dates there in September 2018 and September 2023.

Skrillex Australia Tour 2027: Auckland and New Zealand

New Zealand has had Skrillex on five visits. The first New Zealand shows came in April 2011 at Union Hall in Dunedin and Vector Arena in Auckland, and he was back at Vector Arena on 2 March 2012 to open that year's run.

Later Auckland dates followed the arena's and the stadiums' changing names: Mount Smart Stadium on 28 November 2014, Spark Arena (the former Vector Arena) on 28 September 2018 and Go Media Stadium (Mount Smart under its sponsor name) on 1 October 2023, the final night of his last Oceania run.

The Auckland set of 2023 ran to more than 40 tracks, close to the Melbourne show two days earlier, which shows that New Zealand got the full production rather than a shortened set.

Skrillex Australia Tour 2027: a set built for the moment

Skrillex sets in Australia have always reflected what he was releasing at the time. In 2011 the lists were full of 'Rock n' Roll (Will Take You to the Mountain)', 'All I Ask of You', 'Scatta' and 'Cinema'. In 2012 'Breakn' a Sweat', 'Right In', 'Scary Bolly Dub', 'Levels' and 'The Devil's Den' dominated, with 'Bangarang' appearing at Cockatoo Island and Arena Joondalup.

By 2018 the sets mixed his classics with hip-hop, from 'HUMBLE.' and 'SICKO MODE' to 'Purple Lamborghini', and in 2023 they were built around the new albums: 'Rumble', 'Badders', 'XENA', 'Inhale Exhale', 'Pepper' and 'Fine Day Anthem'.

Whatever the era, 'Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites' has come back again and again, often more than once in the same night as an edit or a remix.

Skrillex Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

A Skrillex set is fast, loud and full of surprises. He mixes his own records with edits, remixes and other people's music, often switching genre several times in a few minutes, and the set list is never fixed from one night to the next. Long Australian sets in 2023 logged more than 40 tracks.

At the Caribbean Gardens in Melbourne on 29 September 2023, the set ran through 'Heartbeat', 'Badders', 'Pepper', 'Rumble', 'XENA', 'Inhale Exhale', 'Laugh Now Cry Later', 'Fine Day Anthem' and many more. In Auckland two days later he also played 'Burial', 'Listen Music Culture' and 'Tears'.

Festival sets usually last 60 to 90 minutes; his own shows and club nights can run longer. Production ranges from a simple club booth to big screens and lasers on outdoor main stages.

Skrillex Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no Skrillex tickets on sale in Australia or New Zealand for 2027, because no concert has been announced. Anyone offering seats or a 'presale code' for a Skrillex show in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide or Auckland is not official.

His Australian appearances have usually come through festival bills, where tickets are sold by the festival itself, sometimes with a pre-registration window before the general sale, and through club or theatre shows sold by the venue or the promoter. In every case, buy only from the official outlet named in the announcement or from the venue box office; tickets are increasingly mobile and name-locked, so avoid screenshots and transfers from strangers.
