Tiësto Australia Tour 2027

Tiësto has no Australian or New Zealand headline tour announced for 2027, but he is booked for two Australian festival dates. In June 2026 the organisers of Dreamstate Australia announced him at the top of their 2027 line-up for an exclusive trance set, a return to the sound of his early career, at the Sydney Showground on Saturday 6 February 2027 and Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on Sunday 7 February 2027. As of 9 October 2026 those are the only Tiësto dates in Australia, and none has been announced in New Zealand.

Australia has been part of Tiësto's story for more than two decades. The earliest documented shows go back to 2002 and 2003, he saw in 2004 on a Sydney wharf, and his Elements of Life and Kaleidoscope world tours brought multi-night runs at Festival Hall in Melbourne, the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, Hisense Arena and Perth's Metro City in 2008 and 2010. Since then he has mostly come back for big touring festivals, most recently in March 2023.

This page explains what is confirmed for 2027, what is not, and gives a full account of Tiësto's Australian concerts from the State Sports Centre in Sydney in 2002 to the 2023 showground dates. To be told if more dates are added, sign up below for the alert.

Tiësto Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

Status on 9 October 2026: two Dreamstate Australia festival dates, no headline tour. Dreamstate Australia 2027 takes place on Saturday 6 February 2027 at the Sydney Showground at Sydney Olympic Park and on Sunday 7 February 2027 at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne. Tiësto heads a bill that spans trance, techno and hard techno, with Ferry Corsten, his former partner in Gouryella, among the later additions.

What makes the booking unusual is the format. For these two dates Tiësto has promised a trance set built around the music that made his name in the late 1990s and early 2000s, before his move to big-room house and pop collaborations. Dreamstate is a festival brand dedicated to trance, which makes it a natural home for that kind of set.

These are festival appearances, not a Tiësto tour: tickets are sold by Dreamstate for the whole event, and there is no announced headline show, sideshow or club night around them. No dates in Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide or Auckland have been announced either.

Elsewhere, his 2026 calendar is full of Las Vegas club nights, festivals in Asia and Latin America and a New Year's festival in Dallas, and his 2027 schedule so far also includes a stadium show at the Legia Stadium in Warsaw in June 2027. Any other Australian or New Zealand date will be added here only when it is officially announced.

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

The earliest Tiësto shows in the Australian records date from the height of his trance years. He played the State Sports Centre at Sydney Olympic Park on Saturday 9 March 2002 and Melbourne Park on Sunday 9 March 2003. On New Year's Eve 2003 he played Wharf 3 in Sydney, a night whose documented set ran to 28 tracks, including 'Traffic', 'Forme', 'Nyana' and his trance version of 'Street Spirit (Fade Out)'.

In April and May 2008, the Elements of Life World Tour brought his first long Australian run. It opened at Family Nightclub in Brisbane on Anzac Day, Friday 25 April 2008, then played four nights at Festival Hall in Melbourne on 26 and 27 April and 1 and 2 May, and two nights at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 May 2008.

The Kaleidoscope World Tour came in early 2010 on an even bigger scale: two nights at the Hordern Pavilion on 29 and 30 January, the Riverstage in Brisbane on 31 January, three nights at Hisense Arena in Melbourne from Friday 5 to Sunday 7 February, and three nights at Metro City in Perth from 10 to 12 February 2010. Nine headline shows in two weeks remain the largest Tiësto run Australia has had.

From the end of 2010 his Australian visits followed the summer festival circuit. In late 2010 he played Commonwealth Place in Canberra on 27 November, Claremont Showground in Perth on 28 November, Bonython Park in Adelaide and the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds on 4 December and the Brisbane Showgrounds on 5 December. In 2012 the route was the Sydney Showground and Commonwealth Park in Canberra on 24 November, Claremont on 25 November, Melbourne on 1 December and Brisbane on 2 December, and in 2014 he played the Brisbane Showgrounds on 6 December.

On Saturday 10 February 2018 he returned to the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, the venue of his 2008 and 2010 runs. His most recent Australian visit came in March 2023, with outdoor dates at the Sydney Showground on Friday 10 March, the Riverstage in Brisbane on 11 March and the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds on Sunday 12 March 2023.

No New Zealand Tiësto concert appears in the records available to us, which is why the history table on this page covers Australia only.

The table below lists 34 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Tiësto between 2002 and 2023, with the most shows in Melbourne (11), Sydney (9), Brisbane (6), Perth (5), Canberra (2), Adelaide (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Tiësto Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

The Wikipedia and set-list records we hold do not name the festivals behind most of Tiësto's Australian showground dates, so we have not labelled them. The one festival confirmed by name is the 2027 booking: Dreamstate Australia, at the Sydney Showground on 6 February 2027 and Flemington Racecourse on 7 February 2027, where he plays a trance set.

Tiësto Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Tijs Michiel Verwest was born in Breda in the Netherlands on 17 January 1969. He began DJing at school parties at 14 and spent years in Dutch clubs, including long weekend sets at the Spock in Breda. In 1997 he founded the label Black Hole Recordings with Arny Bink and released the Magik and In Search of Sunrise mix series, and from 1998 to 2000 he recorded with Ferry Corsten as Gouryella.

His 2000 remix of Delerium's 'Silence' with Sarah McLachlan brought him to a mainstream audience, and his first solo album, In My Memory (2001), produced several hits. DJ Mag voted him the world's No. 1 DJ three years running, from 2002 to 2004, and in August 2004 he became the first DJ to perform live on stage at the Olympic Games, during the opening ceremony in Athens.

Elements of Life (2007) topped Billboard's Top Electronic Albums chart and was nominated for a Grammy, and Kaleidoscope (2009) reached No. 31 in Australia. A Town Called Paradise (2014) reached No. 18 here and marked his turn to big-room house and pop. In 2015 he won the Grammy for Best Remixed Recording for his version of John Legend's 'All of Me'.

His later hits made him a fixture of Australian radio: 'The Business' (2020) reached No. 6 on the ARIA chart and '10:35' with Tate McRae reached No. 10, and the album Drive (2023) reached No. 26. Mix magazine readers voted him the greatest DJ of all time in 2010-11, and DJ Mag readers named him the best DJ of the previous 20 years in 2013.

Tiësto Australia Tour 2027: Dreamstate and the return to trance

For many Australian fans, the 2027 Dreamstate booking is the most interesting thing Tiësto has done here in years. His recent visits have been built around the pop-house hits of the 2020s, but these two dates are announced as a trance set, the sound of In Search of Sunrise, 'Adagio for Strings' and the Gouryella records.

The setting fits: Dreamstate is a festival devoted to trance and harder electronic styles, and its 2027 line-up also includes Ferry Corsten, Infected Mushroom and Reinier Zonneveld. The Sydney date is on Saturday 6 February at the Sydney Showground, the venue of his 2012 and 2023 visits; the Melbourne date is on Sunday 7 February at Flemington Racecourse.

Because this is a dedicated trance set, it should not be read as a preview of a wider tour. The announcement presented it as one special Australian performance, and no other date around it has been announced.

Tiësto Australia Tour 2027: the Melbourne nights

Melbourne has had more Tiësto shows than any other Australian city. Festival Hall hosted four nights in 2008, Hisense Arena (now John Cain Arena) three nights in February 2010, and the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds outdoor dates in 2010, 2012 and 2023, after the early Melbourne Park show of 2003.

Flemington Racecourse on 7 February 2027 will add a new Melbourne venue to that list. It is one of the city's largest outdoor event sites and has hosted many touring dance festivals over the years.

The multi-night runs of 2008 and 2010 are a reminder of how big Tiësto was in Melbourne at the peak of the trance era, selling out the same room several nights in a row.

Tiësto Australia Tour 2027: Sydney, from the wharf to the Showground

Sydney's Tiësto history covers almost every kind of venue: the State Sports Centre in 2002, Wharf 3 on New Year's Eve 2003, the Hordern Pavilion in 2008, 2010 and 2018, and the Sydney Showground in 2012 and 2023.

The Hordern Pavilion, a heritage hall in Moore Park, has been his most loyal Sydney room, with five nights across three visits. The Showground at Sydney Olympic Park, where he returns for Dreamstate on 6 February 2027, has hosted his larger festival appearances.

The New Year's Eve 2003 set at Wharf 3 is one of the few complete Australian Tiësto set lists on record, with nearly 30 tracks from his trance years, and it is the kind of material the Dreamstate set is expected to revisit.

Tiësto Australia Tour 2027: Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra

Brisbane has seen him at Family Nightclub in 2008, the Riverstage in 2010 and 2023, and the Brisbane Showgrounds in 2010, 2012 and 2014. Perth had three nights at Metro City in February 2010 and showground dates at Claremont in 2010 and 2012.

Adelaide's only documented Tiësto show is at Bonython Park on 4 December 2010, and Canberra had Commonwealth Place in 2010 and Commonwealth Park in 2012. None of these cities is on the 2027 Dreamstate route, which covers Sydney and Melbourne only.

New Zealand does not appear in Tiësto's documented touring history at all, and no New Zealand date has been announced for 2027.

Tiësto Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

Tiësto's current sets are fast, high-energy mixes of big-room house, his own hits and remixes of pop songs, with 'The Business', '10:35', 'Red Lights' and 'Lay Low' among the regular moments and the trance classics usually saved for the end. Festival sets run around 60 to 90 minutes with full lighting and pyrotechnics on main stages.

The Dreamstate dates are announced as something different: a trance set looking back to his early career. The New Year's Eve 2003 set in Sydney gives an idea of that era, with 'Traffic', 'Forme', 'Nyana', 'A Thousand Beautiful Things', 'Love Is Gonna Save Us' and 'Street Spirit (Fade Out)'.

Detailed set lists for his later Australian shows are not documented, so the exact running order of the 2027 sets will only be known on the night.

Tiësto Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There is no Tiësto headline tour in Australia or New Zealand for 2027, so there are no headline tickets or presale codes. The only way to see him here in 2027 is through Dreamstate Australia, which sells tickets for the whole festival; tickets for its 2027 edition have been on sale since June 2026 through the festival's official channels.

Buy only from the festival's official outlet. Festival tickets are increasingly mobile and name-locked, so avoid screenshots and transfers from strangers, and be wary of anyone selling a 'Tiësto presale code' for a show that does not exist.
