Our weekly update brings you a round up of new and exciting tour news and announcements for this week. Featuring who’s heading to Melbourne and where to grab your tickets.
International Artists
The Mary Wallopers
Fresh from the release of their blistering new album Paddywhackery, Irish firebrands The Mary Wallopers have announced their return to Australia and long-awaited New Zealand debut, bringing their raucous live show to Christchurch, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth next May.
Led by brothers Charles and Andrew Hendy, The Mary Wallopers occupy a lane entirely their own, fusing centuries-old folk traditions with razor-sharp humour, political fire and an infectious disregard for convention. Thanks to relentless touring and word-of-mouth devotion, their gleefully rebellious spirit has propelled the band from grassroots sensations to a must-see global act. The Mary Wallopers’ reputation has been built the old-fashioned way: one sweat-soaked, euphoric gig at a time. Equal parts celebration, protest and glorious chaos, their shows have become must-see events.
Don’t miss The Mary Wallopers when they land down under next May!

Australian Artists
Amyl and The Sniffers
Amyl and the Sniffers have announced their eagerly anticipated return to Australia for a series of outdoor shows this summer. A band whose feral live energy and razor-sharp songwriting have propelled them from share houses to global venues, they will be hitting stages at On The Banks in Brisbane, Palace Foreshore in Fremantle, Bondi Beach (as part of the Golden Hour series) and Palace Foreshore in St Kilda. These shows will be a chance for fans to see one of Australia’s most explosive live acts against some of the most iconic settings this country has to offer.
$5 from every ticket sold to an Amyl and The Sniffers’ show this summer will be donated to charity. The funds will be split equally between the following organisations: Food Bank Australia, Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, Women’s and Girl’s Emergency Centre, Living Knowledge Network, Wilya Janta (Standing Strong) Housing Collaboration, Sister’s Inside, and Teach Us Consent.
The band will also be donating $1 from every ticket sold in Sydney to the Bondi and North Bondi Surf Life Saving Clubs in recognition of their heroic actions during the Bondi attack.

Powderfinger
After years of speculation, beloved Australian band Powderfinger have confirmed that next year, 17 years after they last exited the live arena, the iconic act will reform for a major national run of tour dates, landing in Brisbane, Cairns, Perth, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne, across September and October 2027.
The band will hit the road in an epic stadium-sized big top, with a range of ticket options (standing and seating), a carefully curated food and drinks lineup and that special atmosphere that only a travelling rock n roll circus can bring – here today, gone tomorrow. It’s part festival, part spectacle and set to be filled with the communal joy of thousands of fans, gathering offline to experience the music they love, together.
Powderfinger will also curate an all-Australian lineup of support acts, with different artists joining the bill across the tour. They’re excited to share their stage with the wealth of emerging and established homegrown talent out there.
The tour will partner with Mission Australia, an organisation doing extraordinary work for the most vulnerable in our communities. Homelessness is complex and rarely a solo issue, often the by-product of family violence, mental health and financial hardship. It’s a cause close to the band’s heart and throughout this tour, they will raise funds and awareness for Mission Australian and for those who need their support.
Bernard Fanning, Darren Middleton, Ian Haug, Jon Coghill and John ‘JC’ Collins – together as Powderfinger – created seven studio albums and a catalogue of music that has become ingrained in Australian cultural lore. Anthems such as “My Happiness”, “These Days”, “Sunsets”, “On My Mind”, “Burn Your Name” and “Pick You Up” have soundtracked our core memories for decades and transcend generations.

Yagki
To celebrate the release of her sophomore EP Sleepwalking, Yagki is heading back to Australia for a series of East Coast shows including her very own curated Yapperfest in Canberra, Melbourne, and Sydney – a fan driven event showcasing old favourites and unreleased tracks.
Hailing from Lebanese roots and bom in Westem Sydney, Yagki is an alternative rock artist with pop sensibilities who transforms personal survival into her music. After overcoming a childhood coma and navigating a disadvantaged upbringing, she used music to carve her own path, relocating to Los Angeles this year completely independently. With milestones including a 2024 one-day global tour across Sydney, New Zealand, and LA, and three recent California tours, Yagki’s grit and genre-bending sound have earned her widespread critical acclaim.
