The Jungle Giants Australia Tour 2027

The Jungle Giants have not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no headline tour, no festival booking and no one-off show published for the band next year. That is not a sign of a quiet band: they have only just finished one of the busiest touring years of their career, built around their fifth album, Experiencing Feelings of Joy, released on 8 May 2026.

The four-piece from Brisbane, who met at Mansfield State High School and formed in 2011, have spent fifteen years working their way up the Australian live circuit, from Splendour in the Grass and the Big Day Out in their early years to sold-out theatres, regional pubs, wineries and summer outdoor shows. Their 2021 album Love Signs went to No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, and 'Heavy Hearted' placed eighth in the triple j Hottest 100 of 2019.

This page explains what is and is not known about The Jungle Giants' plans for 2027 and gives a detailed account of their documented concerts in Australia and New Zealand, from the Powerstation in Auckland in June 2023 to the regional run that closed the Experiencing Feelings of Joy tour at Coolum Beach in August 2026.

The Jungle Giants Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no 2027 Australian or New Zealand tour by The Jungle Giants on record yet. The band announced Experiencing Feelings of Joy in March 2026 together with Australian and New Zealand tour dates, and that tour ran from early June to late August 2026. Nothing has been published about what follows it, and no 2027 dates elsewhere in the world are listed either.

The 2026 campaign was large and spread out. The main theatre leg opened at the Theatre Royal in Castlemaine on Friday 5 June and took in the Forum in Melbourne, the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane, the University of Canberra Refectory, Hindley Street Music Hall in Adelaide, the Bridge Hotel at Forth and the Odeon Theatre in Hobart. The band then crossed to New Zealand for Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch from 10 to 12 July, played the Astor Theatre in Perth on 18 July, and finished with a string of regional shows in August.

Because that run ended only in late August 2026, a fresh national headline tour within months would break the band's own pattern. Over the last few years they have tended to follow a big theatre run with a different kind of touring: regional pubs and clubs, coastal towns, wineries and festival weekends. Summer festival bills for 2026-27 or a new set of regional dates could therefore be announced at short notice, but none has been confirmed as of 9 October 2026.

Until there is an official announcement, treat any list of 2027 dates, any ticket listing and any so-called presale code for The Jungle Giants with caution. When a tour is confirmed it will appear on this page with every city and venue, and the alert below will tell you as soon as it does.

Before The Jungle Giants Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

The Jungle Giants' home touring goes back to their first records. Wikipedia notes that the release of the debut album Learn to Exist on 30 August 2013 was celebrated with an Australian tour of headline shows plus Splendour in the Grass and the Spin Off festival, and that extra shows were added in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne because of demand. In 2014 they played the national Big Day Out, then the Tuss Tour headline shows in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth shortly before their Groovin the Moo dates in April and May. The setlist archive used for the table below covers mainly the later years, so those early shows are described here rather than listed.

New Zealand appears in the archive from 2018, with a show at Studio The Venue in Auckland on Friday 19 October 2018. The Trippin Up Tour 2023 brought the band back to the Powerstation in Auckland on Friday 16 June 2023, a 16-song set that mixed 'Something Got Between Us', 'Sending Me Ur Loving' and 'Bad Dream' with the then-new 'Trippin Up'. They returned for a festival show in Hagley Park, Christchurch, on 21 February 2025, then the Powerstation on 2 May and Meow Nui in Wellington on 3 May 2025, and again in July 2026 for Meow Nui, the Powerstation and the James Hay Theatre in Christchurch.

The run-up to the fifth album was spent largely in the regions. In 2024 the archive shows Mindil Beach in Darwin in May, the Bridge Hotel at Forth in northern Tasmania on 1 June, two nights at the Torquay Hotel on 8 and 9 June, and a long spring tour that took in Beer Deluxe in Albury, Dee Why RSL in Sydney on Thursday 31 October, Drifter's Wharf in Gosford, the EVAN Theatre in Penrith, Lake Breeze Wines at Langhorne Creek, Gilligan's in Cairns, the Uni Bar in Townsville, Magnums Hotel at Airlie Beach, the Powerhouse in Toowoomba, the Hoey Moey in Coffs Harbour and the Theatre Royal in Castlemaine on 13 December 2024.

In 2025 the band moved between capital-city theatres and outdoor events. After Flagstaff Hill in Wollongong on 1 March and the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens in Hobart on 15 March came a theatre leg: the Metro Theatre in Sydney on Friday 4 April, Bar on the Hill in Newcastle, Hindley Street Music Hall in Adelaide on 11 April, the Northcote Theatre and the Pier Bandroom in Melbourne, and The Tivoli in Brisbane on Friday 25 April. Later dates included Mindil Beach again in May, City Recital Hall Angel Place in Sydney on 7 June, the Meadowlands Amphitheatre in Mackay, The Brightside Outdoors in Brisbane, a south coast weekend at Ulladulla and Kiama, and October shows at Port Stephens, Elizabeth Beach, the Harbord Hotel, the Miranda Hotel and Federation Square in Melbourne.

Late 2025 and early 2026 were dominated by outdoor and festival-style dates: Rymill and King Rodney Parks in Adelaide on Saturday 25 October 2025, Pineapple Fields at Woombye, Ebenezer Park in Tweed Heads, Memorial Park at The Entrance, Optus Stadium in Perth on 25 January 2026, the Agriplex in Burnie, Morphettville Racecourse in Adelaide, 3 Oceans Winery at Metricup and Queen Elizabeth Park on the Gold Coast on 2 May 2026. A small show at the Oxford Art Factory in Sydney on Wednesday 13 May 2026 came in the week the new album was released, before Armidale Showground on 16 May.

The Experiencing Feelings of Joy tour then filled June, July and August 2026. Its biggest rooms were the Forum in Melbourne on Saturday 6 June, the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Friday 12 June and Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on Saturday 13 June, and its last documented night was at Blackflag Brewing in Coolum Beach on Friday 21 August 2026, after the Pier Hotel, the Barwon Heads Hotel and the Hotel Brunswick in Brunswick Heads.

The table below lists 66 documented Australia/NZ concerts by The Jungle Giants between 2023 and 2026, with the most shows in Sydney (7), Melbourne (5), Adelaide (4), Auckland (3), Brisbane (3), Brunswick Heads (2). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

The Jungle Giants Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

Festivals helped make The Jungle Giants' name. According to Wikipedia they played Splendour in the Grass and the Spin Off festival in 2013, the national Big Day Out in January 2014 on a bill with Arcade Fire and Pearl Jam, and the regional Groovin the Moo tour in April and May 2014.

More recent outdoor dates in the setlist archive include Mindil Beach in Darwin in May 2024 and May 2025, Flagstaff Hill in Wollongong and the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens in Hobart in March 2025, Hagley Park in Christchurch in February 2025, Rymill and King Rodney Parks in Adelaide in October 2025 and the winery and parkland shows of autumn 2026. Their festival sets are shorter than a headline show, usually 12 or 13 songs built around the singles.

The Jungle Giants Australia Tour 2027: career and records

The Jungle Giants are Sam Hales on vocals and guitar, who is also the band's main songwriter and producer, Cesira Aitken on lead guitar, Andrew Dooris on bass and Keelan Bijker on drums. All four went to Mansfield State High School in Brisbane. They released a self-titled EP in July 2011 and the She's a Riot EP in July 2012, and the title track of the second is still a fixture of their concerts.

Learn to Exist (2013), led by 'I Am What You Want Me to Be', reached No. 12 on the ARIA Albums Chart and was a triple j feature album. Speakerzoid followed in August 2015, and Quiet Ferocity in July 2017, with the singles 'Feel the Way I Do', 'On Your Way Down', 'Bad Dream' and 'Used to Be in Love'. That album reached No. 11 and won Best Independent Album or EP at the 2018 AIR Awards; 'Come and Be Alone with Me' had already been used in a trailer for the series Casual in 2017.

The turning point came with 'Heavy Hearted', released on 8 July 2019. It placed No. 8 in the triple j Hottest 100 of 2019, became the band's first single in the ARIA Top 100 and was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2020 ARIA Music Awards. 'Sending Me Ur Loving' followed in January 2020 and peaked at No. 55, and Love Signs, released on 23 July 2021, went to No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

Work on the fifth album began with 'Trippin' Up' on 10 March 2023, followed by 'Hold My Hand' in January 2025 and 'Tell Me How It Feels' in February 2026. Experiencing Feelings of Joy came out on 8 May 2026, with 'Is It Love?' and 'A Moment Like That' among its singles, and reached No. 3 in Australia. The band release their music through Amplifire Music.

The Jungle Giants Australia Tour 2027: what the 2026 tour tells us

The 2026 tour showed how The Jungle Giants now cover the country. Instead of a short run of capital-city rooms, they played the major theatres, added smaller markets such as Castlemaine, Forth, Hobart and Canberra, and then went back out to the coast in August. Each capital was reached at least once, and Melbourne twice, counting the Pier Hotel date in August.

It also showed a band confident in new material. The 21-song set at the Enmore Theatre gave a large share of the night to Experiencing Feelings of Joy, with 'How Can I Replace You', 'Tell Me How It Feels', 'Where Can I Put All My Love', 'Lovesick', 'Is It Love?' and 'A Moment Like That' sitting alongside the older singles. Any 2027 tour would most likely continue that album cycle rather than start a new one.

The Jungle Giants Australia Tour 2027: the Brisbane home crowd

Brisbane is the band's home city, and the archive reflects that. Recent Brisbane headline shows include The Tivoli on Anzac Day, Friday 25 April 2025, The Brightside Outdoors on 3 September 2025 and Fortitude Music Hall on Saturday 13 June 2026, where the set ran to 22 songs and was the only night of the 2026 run to include 'I Am What You Want Me to Be', the lead single from the first album.

South-east Queensland also gets a lot of outdoor dates: Queen Elizabeth Park on the Gold Coast, Pineapple Fields at Woombye, Blackflag Brewing at Coolum Beach and Ebenezer Park in Tweed Heads all appear between 2025 and 2026. A home-state show is the most likely place to look first whenever new dates appear.

The Jungle Giants Australia Tour 2027: Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch

New Zealand has become a regular stop. The Powerstation in Auckland hosted the band in June 2023, May 2025 and July 2026, and Meow Nui in Wellington in May 2025 and July 2026. Christchurch has seen them at Hagley Park in February 2025 and at the James Hay Theatre on Sunday 12 July 2026, the last night of the New Zealand leg.

Their New Zealand visits are short, usually two or three nights fitted between Australian dates, and they have not been announced separately from Australian tours. If the band return in 2027, expect the New Zealand shows to be part of the same announcement.

The Jungle Giants Australia Tour 2027: touring the regions

Few bands of The Jungle Giants' size play as many regional towns. The archive includes Airlie Beach, Townsville, Cairns, Mackay, Toowoomba, Coffs Harbour, Gosford, Penrith, Albury, Ulladulla, Kiama, Port Stephens, Armidale, Torquay, Barwon Heads, Castlemaine, Langhorne Creek, Metricup, Burnie, Forth and Darwin, all in 2024, 2025 and 2026.

Those shows tend to be in pubs, clubs, wineries and showgrounds rather than theatres, and many sell out quickly because capacity is small. If you live outside a capital city, it is worth registering for the alert: the band's regional dates are often announced as a separate leg after the main tour.

The Jungle Giants Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

A Jungle Giants headline show now runs to 21 or 22 songs. On the 2026 tour the set opened with an intro and 'How Can I Replace You', moved through 'Tell Me How It Feels', 'Sending Me Ur Loving' and 'Bad Dream', placed 'Love Signs' and 'She's a Riot' in the middle, and built the last section around 'Rakata', 'On Your Way Down', 'In a Nice Way', 'Used to Be in Love', 'Heavy Hearted' and 'A Moment Like That'.

In the shows documented with a set list, six songs appear in almost every set: 'Bad Dream', 'Love Signs', 'Feel the Way I Do', 'On Your Way Down', 'Used to Be in Love' and 'Heavy Hearted'. 'She's a Riot' and 'In Her Eyes' are close behind. The 2025 theatre shows, such as the Metro Theatre in Sydney and the Northcote Theatre in Melbourne, ran to 14 songs and leaned on 'Trippin Up', 'Charge My Phone', 'Heartless', 'Quiet Ferocity', 'Hold My Hand' and 'Monstertruck'.

Festival and outdoor sets are shorter, 12 or 13 songs, and mostly singles. The live band keeps the dance-rock feel of the records, with Sam Hales on lead vocals and guitar and Cesira Aitken taking the lead guitar parts.

The Jungle Giants Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

No tickets for The Jungle Giants in Australia or New Zealand in 2027 are on sale, because no concerts have been announced. Any site selling 2027 seats or offering a presale code for the band at this stage is not official.

When the band announce new dates, tickets are sold through the official ticket agent named in the announcement and through the venue box office, often after a fan or mailing-list presale. Buy only from those outlets, expect mobile tickets in your own name at many venues, and use only the official resale option if you can no longer attend. Small regional rooms sell out quickly, so be ready at the on-sale time. Be wary of anyone selling 'presale codes'.
