SZA Australia Tour 2027

SZA has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no tour, arena date or festival booking for her in either country.

Her last visit was the SOS Tour of April and May 2024, which played three nights at Spark Arena in Auckland, two at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, three at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney and three at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. When Kendrick Lamar took the Grand National Tour to Australia in December 2025, he played those shows solo: SZA, his co-headliner in North America and Europe, was not on the Australian dates.

This page explains what is and is not announced, then gives a full account of SZA's concerts in Australia and New Zealand since her debut at the FOMO festival in January 2018, with set lists, albums and practical ticket advice.

SZA Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about SZA playing Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No promoter has announced a tour and no festival in either country has named her for 2027.

Her most recent touring was the Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar in 2025, which Wikipedia describes as the highest-grossing co-headlining tour in history. That tour did come to Australia, with two nights at AAMI Park in Melbourne on 3 and 4 December 2025 and two at Allianz Stadium in Sydney on 10 and 11 December 2025, but those four concerts were Kendrick Lamar solo shows, with Schoolboy Q and Doechii as openers. SZA did not perform, so her most recent concert in Australia remains Rod Laver Arena on 2 May 2024.

Her last full album remains SOS from 2022, reissued in 2024 in a deluxe edition called Lana. A new tour would most likely follow new music, but nothing has been announced. Until there is an official statement, treat any list of '2027 SZA Australian dates', any listing already selling seats and any 'presale code' for sale online with suspicion.

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

SZA first came to this part of the world in January 2018, a few months after her debut album Ctrl. She was booked on FOMO, the one-day, one-stage festival, alongside Post Malone, Kaytranada and RL Grime. Her Australian debut was at the Riverstage in Brisbane on 6 January 2018, followed by Elder Park in Adelaide on 7 January, the FOMO by Night show at Festival Hall in Melbourne on 11 January and Parramatta Park in Sydney on 13 January.

Around those dates she played two headline shows of her own on Ctrl the Tour: the Logan Campbell Centre in Auckland on Tuesday 9 January 2018, her first New Zealand concert, and the Enmore Theatre in Newtown, Sydney, on Sunday 14 January 2018, the night after FOMO's Sydney date.

She returned in July 2019 with a short tour built around a festival booking. She played the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on Friday 19 July, Splendour in the Grass at North Byron Parklands on Sunday 21 July, Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne on Tuesday 23 July and Spark Arena in Auckland on Friday 26 July 2019.

The SOS Tour of 2024 was her first full arena tour of the region and a big step up. It opened with three nights at Spark Arena in Auckland on 13, 15 and 16 April 2024, then played the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 19 and 20 April, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on 23, 24 and 26 April, and Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on 29 and 30 April and Thursday 2 May 2024.

Those eleven arena shows are the most SZA has played on a single visit. The final night at Rod Laver Arena on 2 May 2024 is her most recent concert in Australia, and Spark Arena on 16 April 2024 her most recent in New Zealand. Perth has not yet had a SZA concert, and Adelaide's only one is the FOMO date at Elder Park in 2018.

The table below lists 21 documented Australia/NZ concerts by SZA between 2018 and 2024, with the most shows in Sydney (6), Melbourne (5), Auckland (5), Brisbane (3), Byron Bay (1), Adelaide (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

SZA Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

SZA has played two Australian festivals. In January 2018 she was on the FOMO line-up, with dates at the Riverstage in Brisbane, Elder Park in Adelaide and Parramatta Park in Sydney, plus the FOMO by Night event at Festival Hall in Melbourne. Those shows were her first in Australia.

In July 2019 she played Splendour in the Grass at North Byron Parklands, near Byron Bay, on 21 July, with a shorter set of 11 songs than her own headline shows that week. She has not played a New Zealand festival so far.

SZA Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Solána Imani Rowe was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on 8 November 1989 and grew up in Maplewood, New Jersey. After two self-released EPs she signed with Top Dawg Entertainment, the label of Kendrick Lamar, in 2013, and released the EP Z in 2014.

Her debut album, Ctrl, came out in 2017 and was one of the most acclaimed R&B records of the year, with songs such as 'Love Galore', 'The Weekend', 'Drew Barrymore' and 'Garden (Say It Like Dat)'. It reached number 13 in Australia. She followed it with high-profile collaborations, including 'All the Stars' with Kendrick Lamar for Black Panther in 2018 and 'Kiss Me More' with Doja Cat in 2021, which won her first Grammy Award.

SOS, released in December 2022, was her breakthrough to the very top. It went to number one in Australia and became the first album by a woman to spend 100 weeks in the top ten of the Billboard 200. 'Kill Bill' topped the US Hot 100 and was one of the best-selling songs of 2023. The 2024 deluxe edition, Lana, added 'Saturn' and '30 for 30'.

Her duet with Kendrick Lamar, 'Luther', became her longest-running US number one, and the two toured together on the Grand National Tour in 2025. She has won seven Grammy Awards and a Brit Award, and has co-written songs for artists including Beyoncé, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Travis Scott.

SZA Australia Tour 2027: Auckland and New Zealand

New Zealand has had more SZA concerts than most of Australia. She played the Logan Campbell Centre in Auckland in January 2018, Spark Arena in July 2019 and three more nights at Spark Arena in April 2024, the opening shows of the SOS Tour's Australasian leg.

Three nights at Spark Arena on one tour, more than she gave Brisbane, put Auckland on a level with Sydney and Melbourne in 2024. All of her New Zealand concerts so far have been in Auckland, and none has been announced for 2027.

SZA Australia Tour 2027: the SOS arena tour of 2024

The 2024 tour was the first time SZA played the region's big indoor arenas as a headliner. Over three weeks she played eleven shows in four cities: three in Auckland, two in Brisbane, three in Sydney and three in Melbourne.

The sets ran to between 25 and 30 songs and covered almost all of SOS alongside the best-known songs from Ctrl and her collaborations. Melbourne's closing night on 2 May 2024 was among the longest, with 30 songs from 'Seek & Destroy' to '20 Something'.

Perth and Adelaide were not on the route, which is one reason fans in Western and South Australia watch closely for any new tour announcement.

SZA Australia Tour 2027: why she was not at the 2025 stadium shows

The Grand National Tour of 2025 paired SZA with Kendrick Lamar in North America and Europe. When the tour's Australian dates were announced on 11 June 2025, they were billed as Kendrick Lamar solo concerts, two nights at AAMI Park in Melbourne and two at Allianz Stadium in Sydney.

SZA did not appear at those December 2025 shows, and they do not count as SZA concerts in Australia. Fans who hoped to see her in a stadium in Australia have not yet had that chance.

SZA Australia Tour 2027: from club stages to arenas

Her three visits trace her rise clearly. In 2018 she was one of several acts on a festival bill and played the Enmore Theatre and the Logan Campbell Centre on her own. In 2019 she headlined the Hordern Pavilion and Margaret Court Arena. By 2024 she was filling Qudos Bank Arena and Rod Laver Arena for three nights each.

Sydney is the city she has played most: Parramatta Park and the Enmore in 2018, the Hordern in 2019 and three nights at Qudos Bank Arena in 2024.

SZA Australia Tour 2027: Melbourne and Brisbane

Melbourne has hosted SZA on all three of her visits: the FOMO by Night show at Festival Hall in January 2018, Margaret Court Arena in July 2019 and three nights at Rod Laver Arena in 2024. The last of those, on 2 May 2024, is her most recent concert anywhere in Australia.

Brisbane is where her Australian story began, at the Riverstage on 6 January 2018. The city then waited until April 2024 for her return, with two nights at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall. It was not on the 2019 route, which only covered Sydney, Byron Bay, Melbourne and Auckland.

Whether a future tour would follow the 2024 pattern of four cities with several nights each has not been announced.

SZA Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

The SOS Tour sets in Australia and New Zealand opened with 'Seek & Destroy', 'Love Galore', 'Broken Clocks' and 'Forgiveless', and included 'Ghost in the Machine', 'Blind', 'Shirt', 'All the Stars', 'Garden (Say It Like Dat)', 'F2F', 'Drew Barrymore', 'Low', 'Open Arms', 'Nobody Gets Me', 'Saturn', 'Kiss Me More', 'Snooze', 'I Hate U', 'Kill Bill', 'The Weekend', 'Good Days' and '20 Something'.

Her 2018 festival sets were short, about 11 songs, opening with 'Supermodel', 'Broken Clocks', 'Go Gina' and 'Drew Barrymore'. The 2019 headline shows ran to 19 songs and included a cover of 'Teenage Dirtbag' as well as 'Doves in the Wind', 'Love Galore', 'All the Stars' and '20 Something'.

Across all her logged Australian and New Zealand concerts, 'Love Galore', 'Broken Clocks' and 'Drew Barrymore' are the most played, followed closely by 'Garden (Say It Like Dat)', 'The Weekend' and 'Normal Girl'.

SZA Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no SZA tickets for Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. Any site already selling seats or offering a presale code is not official.

When a tour is announced, tickets are normally sold through the official ticketing agent of each venue, often after an artist presale for fans registered with her mailing list and promoter or card-holder presales. Arena tickets in Australia and New Zealand are usually mobile tickets in the buyer's name, so buy only from the official outlets in the announcement and use the official resale option if you cannot attend.

Sign up below for the alert and you will be told as soon as SZA confirms any date in Australia or New Zealand.
