Waylon Wyatt brings the Dustpiles World Tour to Australia in January 2027, fifteen months after his first visit. Seven shows in five cities are confirmed: two nights at The Tivoli in Brisbane on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 January, the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Tuesday 19 January, two nights at the Northcote Theatre in Melbourne on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 January, The Gov in Adelaide on Wednesday 27 January and the Astor Theatre in Perth on Friday 29 January 2027.
The singer-songwriter from Hackett, Arkansas, turns 20 on 16 October 2026 and is still a new name by any standard. His first song went viral on TikTok in 2024, his debut album Dustpiles came out in July 2026, and his Australian live history so far amounts to three shows in October 2025. That he has already sold out rooms of 1,500 people or more in Brisbane and Melbourne, and had to add second nights, says a lot about how quickly his raw, lyric-led country has found an audience here.
This page lists the confirmed 2027 dates and venues, a night-by-night look at the tour, what is known about his first Australian trip, and how tickets have been sold. Singer-songwriter Clover County supports on all dates, and tickets have been on sale since Friday 29 May 2026.
The Australian dates were announced in May 2026, shortly after Wyatt confirmed that Dustpiles would be released on 17 July 2026. The tour takes the album's name and is billed as a world tour, running through 2026 and 2027. The Australian leg is a straightforward run of theatres and band rooms in the five mainland state capitals, all licensed for all ages, which matters for an artist whose audience includes many fans of his own age.
Demand soon changed the shape of the tour. The original Brisbane show at The Tivoli on Saturday 16 January and the original Melbourne show at the Northcote Theatre on Saturday 23 January both sold out, so a second Brisbane night was added for Friday 15 January and a second Melbourne night for Sunday 24 January. As of 9 October 2026 the tour note still says that several dates have already sold out.
The run opens with the two Brisbane nights, then moves to the Enmore Theatre in Newtown, Sydney, on Tuesday 19 January. Melbourne follows on the weekend of 23 and 24 January at the Northcote Theatre on High Street. The final week goes west: The Gov, the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel on Port Road in Adelaide, on Wednesday 27 January, and the Astor Theatre in Mount Lawley, Perth, on Friday 29 January 2027.
There is no New Zealand date on the Dustpiles World Tour as of 9 October 2026, and no regional or festival stop in Australia has been added to the January run. The support act on every night is Clover County, a singer-songwriter whose debut album Finer Things mixes folk, Americana and alternative influences.
The Tivoli in Fortitude Valley was built in 1917 as Adams Bakery and was turned into the Tivoli Restaurant and Theatre for Expo 88, opening in August 1989. Nicknamed The Tiv, it keeps its Art Deco features and holds 1,560 standing.
The Enmore Theatre on Enmore Road in Newtown, in Sydney's inner west, opened in 1912 and was remodelled in Art Deco style in 1937. It holds about 1,700 seated or 2,500 standing and is the longest-running live theatre in Sydney.
The Northcote Theatre on High Street, Northcote, opened on 27 June 1912 and is the oldest purpose-built cinema in Melbourne, designed in Edwardian Baroque style. Listed on the Victorian Heritage Register in 2011, it became a live music venue in July 2022.
The Gov is the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel on Port Road, Hindmarsh, a pub first opened in 1848. It became a live music venue in 1993, has several performance spaces and won national and state awards for best live music venue in 2017.
The Astor Theatre on Beaufort Street in Mount Lawley opened in 1914 as the Lyceum Theatre and was rebuilt in Art Deco style in 1939. Listed on the State Register of Heritage Places, it reopened in 2009 as a venue for live music and comedy.
Friday 15 January 2027 — The Tivoli, Brisbane. Night 1 of 2 at this venue. The artist's most recent documented Brisbane show was at The Triffid on 22 October 2025. The tour starts here.
Tuesday 19 January 2027 — Enmore Theatre, Sydney. In Sydney, the last documented Waylon Wyatt concert was at Sydney Showground (25 October 2025).
Saturday 23 January 2027 — Northcote Theatre, Melbourne. This is show 1 of the 2-night stand here. The artist's most recent documented Melbourne show was at Caribbean Gardens on 26 October 2025.
Wednesday 27 January 2027 — The Gov, Adelaide.
Friday 29 January 2027 — Astor Theatre, Perth. This venue closes the tour.
Waylon Wyatt's Australian concert history is short, because his career is short. He began posting his own songs online in 2024, toured the United States and Canada for the first time on a large scale in the autumn of 2025, and made his first and so far only trip to Australia in October 2025. The setlist.fm archive records three Australian shows and none in New Zealand.
The first was a headline show at The Triffid in Brisbane on Wednesday 22 October 2025, announced as a sideshow to the Ridin' Hearts festival and billed as his Australian debut. The Triffid, a converted Second World War aircraft hangar in Newstead, is one of the city's best-known band rooms, and the show gave Brisbane its first chance to see him at full length.
The other two dates were festival sets at Ridin' Hearts: Sydney Showground at Sydney Olympic Park on Saturday 25 October 2025 and the Caribbean Gardens in Scoresby, in Melbourne's outer east, on Sunday 26 October 2025. He played in the late afternoon on the main stage at both, a typical slot for an emerging act on a country festival bill.
The archive does not hold the songs from these three shows, so there is no recorded Australian set list to quote. What the three dates show is the path from a single club show and two festival slots in 2025 to seven headline theatre nights in 2027. Brisbane, which had the only headline show in 2025, is also the first city to get two nights in 2027.
Adelaide and Perth were not on his 2025 itinerary, so the shows at The Gov on 27 January and the Astor Theatre on 29 January 2027 will be his first concerts in either city. Sydney's Enmore Theatre and Melbourne's Northcote Theatre will be his first headline shows in those cities after his Ridin' Hearts festival appearances.
The table below lists 3 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Waylon Wyatt between 2025 and 2025, with the most shows in Melbourne (1), Sydney (1), Brisbane (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

|---|---|---|---|
| 26 October 2025 | Melbourne | Caribbean Gardens | |
| 25 October 2025 | Sydney | Sydney Showground | |

Waylon Wyatt's only Australian festival appearances so far were at Ridin' Hearts in October 2025, a country music festival held that year at Sydney Showground on 25 October and the Caribbean Gardens in Melbourne on 26 October. His Brisbane show at The Triffid on 22 October 2025 was announced as a festival sideshow.
Outside Australia he has played festival dates in the United States and, according to Wikipedia, appearances at the C2C: Country to Country festival in Europe in 2026. No Australian or New Zealand festival appearance has been announced for 2027; the January dates are all headline shows.
Waylon Wyatt Potter was born on 16 October 2006 and grew up in Hackett, Arkansas. He wrote his first song, How to Be a Man, at the age of six, and after an early interest in rap discovered country music on YouTube at fifteen. His older brother Dylan, also a musician, died when Waylon was eight; Wyatt has said that his brother is the main reason he learned the guitar, and the loss inspired the song Phoning Heaven. The first concert he ever attended was Wyatt Flores at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa.
He was working for his father's construction company when a video of his original song Everything Under the Sun, posted at a friend's urging, gained more than 100,000 views on TikTok overnight. Record labels called within a week, and he signed with Music Soup and Darkroom Records. His debut EP, Til the Sun Goes Down, followed in July 2024 and included Arkansas Diamond, which passed 50 million streams and became his first single certified gold in the United States. An expanded eight-track edition came out in November 2024.
In January 2025 he released Jailbreak and Sunday Supper with Bayker Blankenship, whom he met after Blankenship covered Arkansas Diamond online, and in April a duet with Willow Avalon, Smoke & Embers. His second EP, Out of the Blue, appeared in June 2025, recorded in a studio with a band for the first time while he was still a full-time student. Jailbreak became his second gold single. The 35-date Out of the Blue Tour of the US and Canada began on 5 September 2025, the release day of Wishbone.
In 2026 he announced the Everything Under the Sun headline tour and dates supporting Sam Barber, released In Loving Melody and Didn't Forget with Wyatt Flores, and on 17 July 2026 put out his debut album, Dustpiles. The day before the release he was taken to hospital with sepsis and postponed several shows. His influences include Tyler Childers, Hank Williams, the Turnpike Troubadours, Wyatt Flores and Johnny Cash, and he is often compared to Childers, Sam Barber and Zach Bryan.
| Album | Year | AUS chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| Til the Sun Goes Down (EP) | 2024 | — |
| Out of the Blue (EP) | 2025 | — |
| Dustpiles | 2026 | — |
When the tour was first announced, each city had a single show. The Tivoli in Brisbane on Saturday 16 January and the Northcote Theatre in Melbourne on Saturday 23 January both sold out, and the second nights were added on the Friday before in Brisbane and the Sunday after in Melbourne. Both venues hold about 1,500 people, so the extra nights roughly double his headline audience in each city.
Brisbane's double makes sense given his history: The Triffid on 22 October 2025 was his first Australian show and his only headline date on that trip. Melbourne saw him only at the Ridin' Hearts festival in Scoresby, so the demand there came largely from people who had heard him at the festival or online.
Most of the 2027 venues are older than country music as a radio format. The Tivoli was built as Adams Bakery in 1917 and became a theatre for Expo 88. The Enmore opened in 1912, the Northcote Theatre opened on 27 June 1912 as Melbourne's first purpose-built cinema, and the Astor dates from 1914. The Gov in Adelaide is a pub that first opened in 1848 and became a live music venue in 1993.
That mix of rooms suits a performer who says he wants raw vocals, raw guitar and little production. These are theatres and band rooms rather than arenas, close enough for a lyric-driven set to carry, and very different from the open-air festival stages where most Australians first heard him in 2025.
Neither Adelaide nor Perth was on his 2025 trip, which covered only Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. The Gov on Wednesday 27 January 2027 and the Astor Theatre on Friday 29 January 2027 will therefore be his first concerts in South Australia and Western Australia.
The Gov is one of Adelaide's best-known live music pubs, a venue that has hosted Paul Kelly, Billy Bragg and the Whitlams. The Astor in Mount Lawley, a heritage-listed Art Deco theatre, is the final date of the Australian leg.
There is no New Zealand date on the Dustpiles World Tour as of 9 October 2026, and Waylon Wyatt has not yet played in New Zealand according to the setlist.fm archive. New Zealand fans should not expect a show unless one is announced.
The January 2027 run is the second step in what looks like a regular relationship with Australian audiences, after the 2025 festival trip. Whether it leads to bigger rooms next time depends on how Dustpiles does here; as of this writing, the confirmed facts are the seven shows listed on this page.
The setlist.fm archive has no song lists for his three Australian shows in 2025, so there is no local record to draw on. His recorded output is small enough to predict the core of a headline set, though: songs from the two EPs, such as Everything Under the Sun, Arkansas Diamond, Phoning Heaven and Jailbreak, alongside material from Dustpiles.
Wyatt has described his music as primarily lyric-driven, mixing country, red dirt, folk and Americana, and has said he does not want heavy production. His festival sets in Sydney and Melbourne in 2025 were 40-minute slots; a headline show at The Tivoli or the Enmore will run longer, with Clover County opening each night.
Tickets for the Australian shows went on sale on Friday 29 May 2026 through the venues' official ticketing partners and box offices. Several dates have already sold out, including the original Saturday shows in Brisbane and Melbourne, which led to the second nights on 15 and 24 January. Availability for the remaining shows can change quickly.
Buy only from the official outlet named by each venue or from its box office, and check the date carefully, since Brisbane and Melbourne both have two nights. Many Australian venues issue name-linked mobile tickets, so buy through the official outlet or its official resale service to make sure the ticket is in your name. Never pay for a presale code: genuine presale access is given by the artist, the promoter, the venue or a card partner, and is never sold.
