Thelma Plum Australia Tour 2027

Thelma Plum has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there are no 2027 dates, cities, venues or on-sale details. Her most recent run was the I Don't Play That Song Anymore Tour, a stripped-back acoustic tour of regional and suburban Australia in July and August 2026, which the setlist archive follows from the Capital in Bendigo on Thursday 9 July to Woodville Town Hall in Adelaide on Sunday 16 August 2026.

The Gamilaraay singer-songwriter, born in Brisbane and connected to Delungra in northern New South Wales, first came through triple j Unearthed in 2012, winning its inaugural National Indigenous Unearthed competition. Her debut album Better in Blak reached No. 4 on the ARIA Albums Chart in 2019, and its title song made her the highest-ranked Indigenous artist in the history of the Hottest 100 at the time, at No. 9. Her second album, I'm Sorry, Now Say It Back, came out in October 2024 and reached No. 7.

This page sets out what is and is not known about her plans for 2027 and gives an account of her concerts in Australia: the theatre tour for the second album in late 2024, the regional I'm Sorry, Where Is That? tour of 2025, the 2026 acoustic shows and a long list of festival and outdoor stages. There are no New Zealand concerts in the archive.

Thelma Plum Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official Thelma Plum tour of Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No 2027 shows appear among the tour announcements made so far for the region, and no new album has been announced. Any list of Thelma Plum 2027 dates, or any 'presale code' attached to one, is unconfirmed until she confirms it.

The 2026 acoustic tour was billed as her first national acoustic tour, played in a duo format. In the archive it reaches the Capital in Bendigo on Thursday 9 July, the Story House in Geelong on Saturday 11 July, the Lighthouse Theatre in Warrnambool on Sunday 12 July and Woodville Town Hall in Adelaide on Sunday 16 August 2026. Published tour listings also included Horsham, Canberra, Richmond and Avoca Beach in New South Wales, Kalgoorlie, Bunbury and Albany in Western Australia, Bellingen, the Gold Coast, Eumundi, Devonport and Hobart.

Since Adelaide, no further shows have been listed. Neither the acoustic tour nor anything before it went to New Zealand, so there is no recent New Zealand visit to point to. A new tour would most likely follow new music, but nothing has been said, and this page will not guess at dates or cities.

Before the Thelma Plum Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

Thelma Plum has toured Australia since her first EPs, Rosie in 2013 and Monsters in 2014, and has had national rotation on triple j throughout. The earliest show in the setlist archive is a five-song set at Optus Stadium in Perth on Sunday 19 November 2023, which ended with her cover of Powderfinger's 'These Days' and 'Better in Blak'. In January 2024 she played the West Tamworth Leagues Club, and on Wednesday 29 May 2024 she headlined the Joan Sutherland Theatre at the Sydney Opera House with an 18-song set that included 'How Much Does Your Love Cost?', 'Candle' and 'Bars On My Windows'.

The album tour for I'm Sorry, Now Say It Back followed its October 2024 release. It played Newcastle Civic Theatre on Thursday 24 October, Anita's Theatre in Wollongong on Friday 25 October and City Recital Hall Angel Place in Sydney on Saturday 26 October, then Hindley Street Music Hall in Adelaide on Friday 1 November and the Fremantle Arts Centre on Saturday 2 November. Melbourne had two nights at the Forum Theatre on Thursday 7 and Friday 8 November, and the tour finished with the Odeon Theatre in Hobart on 9 November, Miami Marketta on the Gold Coast, the Empire Theatre in Toowoomba and the Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on Saturday 16 November 2024. The full shows ran to 19 or 20 songs.

In 2025 she took the album to the regions with the I'm Sorry, Where Is That? tour. It started at the Rechabite in Perth on Tuesday 20 May 2025 and the River Hotel in Margaret River, then moved east to the UniBar in Wollongong, the University of Canberra Refectory and Beer Deluxe in Albury in late May. June brought the Princess Theatre in Launceston, the Kings Beach Tavern in Caloundra, the Green Room in Byron Bay, the Theatre Royal in Castlemaine, Her Majesty's Theatre in Ballarat, the Barwon Heads Hotel, Drifter's Wharf in Gosford, Finnian's Irish Tavern in Port Macquarie and the Hoey Moey in Coffs Harbour, before a last date at the Pier Bandroom in Melbourne on Friday 4 July 2025.

She played the Princess Theatre in Brisbane on Saturday 26 July 2025, a 14-song set that brought back 'The Brown Snake', and the Great Northern Hotel in Byron Bay the next night. Earlier that year she had played the Silverton Hotel, outside Broken Hill, on 5 April 2025.

Her 2026 shows began on outdoor stages, from Churchill Island in January to City Park in Launceston on Saturday 31 January, Bondi Beach, the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne on Saturday 7 March and the Western Foreshore in Mandurah on 15 March. On Saturday 9 May 2026 she played an eight-song set at the Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre, and the acoustic tour followed in July and August.

Two notable non-concert appearances are on record in her Wikipedia biography: she performed at the 2020 AFL Grand Final in October 2020, and she recorded the cover of 'These Days' that has since turned up in her live sets. Short in-store and launch sets around the album release in October 2024, and a one-song guest spot at the Hordern Pavilion in November 2025, are not counted in the table.

The table below lists 54 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Thelma Plum between 2023 and 2026, with the most shows in Melbourne (5), Wollongong (3), Adelaide (2), Warrnambool (2), Tamworth (2), Launceston (2). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Thelma Plum Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Thelma Amelina Plumbe was born in Brisbane on 21 December 1994. She is a Gamilaraay woman from Delungra, New South Wales, graduated from the Music Industry College in Brisbane and spent most of her early life in that city. In May 2012 she uploaded 'Blackbird' and 'Father Said' to triple j Unearthed, and that July she won the station's first National Indigenous Unearthed competition, which also earned her a Deadly award nomination.

'Father Said' became her debut single in November 2012. The Rosie EP followed in March 2013 and Monsters in July 2014, by which time she had moved to Melbourne. Better in Blak arrived in July 2019 and peaked at No. 4; it received six nominations at the 2019 ARIA Music Awards and won Best Cover Art. In January 2020 the title song placed ninth in the Hottest 100.

In 2020 she was diagnosed with COVID-19 early in the pandemic, released her cover of 'These Days' in May and performed at the AFL Grand Final in October. The Meanjin EP of 2022, written on her Brisbane balcony during lockdown and described as a love letter to the city, won Album of the Year at the 2023 National Indigenous Music Awards. When Rosie Met Monsters, combining the first two EPs, followed in November 2022.

'We Don't Talk About It' in November 2023 was her first new music in more than a year, and I'm Sorry, Now Say It Back was released in October 2024, peaking at No. 7. Songs from it, including 'Freckles', 'Nobody's Baby', 'Woke Blokes', 'Homecoming Queen' and 'Not Angry Anymore', now make up the core of her sets.

Thelma Plum Australia Tour 2027: touring the regions

Thelma Plum has spent much of the last two years outside the capital cities. The 2025 I'm Sorry, Where Is That? tour went to Margaret River, Albury, Castlemaine, Ballarat, Barwon Heads, Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour, and the 2026 acoustic tour added Bendigo, Warrnambool and Geelong in the archive, with Kalgoorlie, Albany, Bellingen and Devonport on its published itinerary.

These rooms are small, from hotels such as the Hoey Moey and the Barwon Heads Hotel to regional theatres such as Her Majesty's in Ballarat, and they tend to sell out quickly. When she next tours, the regional dates may again be announced alongside, or instead of, big-city shows.

Thelma Plum Australia Tour 2027: the Melbourne and Sydney nights

Melbourne gave her two nights at the Forum Theatre in November 2024, and earlier the Pier Bandroom, Catani Gardens and the Royal Botanic Gardens. Sydney's landmark show was the Joan Sutherland Theatre at the Opera House in May 2024, followed by City Recital Hall Angel Place on the album tour that October.

Both cities were left off the 2026 acoustic tour as published, which concentrated on the regions, Adelaide and Hobart.

Thelma Plum Australia Tour 2027: New Zealand so far

Thelma Plum Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

Her full band shows on the 2024 album tour ran to 19 or 20 songs. They opened with 'Wiseman', 'Woke Blokes' and 'Don't Let a Good Girl Down', moved through 'Nobody's Baby', 'Hurricane', 'We Don't Talk About It', 'Freckles', 'When It Rains It Pours' and 'All The Pretty Little Horses', and included 'Golden Touch', 'Nick Cave', 'Guwop' and 'Koala' before the closing run of 'Backseat of My Mind', 'Homecoming Queen', 'Bitch', 'Clumsy Love' and 'Better in Blak'.

The 2026 acoustic shows were shorter, at 13 to 16 songs, and started with 'Nobody's Baby' and 'When It Rains It Pours'. They gave a place to the song that named the tour, 'I Don't Play That Song Anymore', and still ended with 'Better in Blak', which has closed almost every set in the archive.

Festival sets usually run to 11-15 songs. 'The Brown Snake' and 'Dollar' appeared at the March 2024 outdoor shows, and 'These Days' was part of the Optus Stadium set in 2023.

Thelma Plum Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no Thelma Plum tickets on sale for Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. Any site already listing 2027 seats or selling a 'presale code' is not official.

Her recent tours have been sold through each venue's official ticket outlet and box office, which matters for the regional halls and hotels where capacity is small. When a new tour is announced, buy only from those official channels, register for any artist presale, expect mobile tickets in your own name, and be wary of anyone offering access codes.
