• Powderfinger has announced their first tour in almost two decades, playing a stack of shows around the country from September 2027.
• They’ll be kicking things off in their hometown of Brisbane, before playing shows in Cairns, Perth, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne.
• Artist and Telstra presale opens on Wednesday, 14 October, with a Live Nation presale opening on Friday, 16 October and general sale kicking off on Monday, 19 October.

They’ve soundtracked many a wedding, pub sing-a-long and footy match for decades and now Powderfinger are reuniting for their first Australian tour in 16 years. Time to blow up that lads’ group chat.

Taking to social media, all five members of the band (Bernard Fanning, Ian Haug, Darren Middleton, John Collins and John Coghill) appeared in a video letting their fans know to expect a tour from September 2027.

“We’ve got a little announcement to make,” Fanning said in the video, “We always said that if we were going to get back together to do some shows you guys would be the first to know, and so now you’re the first to know.”

“We’re going to do some shows all around Australia from September next year,” before Middleton teased that the concerts they’re working on will be “something pretty special.”

This tour would mark the first for the band since their ‘Sunsets Farewell’ tour back in 2010. In what was announced as their farewell run of shows, the band played 34 concerts around Australia, selling over 200,000 tickets, wrapping it all up in their hometown of Brisbane. However, there have been several instances of semi-reunions of the band in the years since 2010. Splendour In The Grass 2017 saw Fanning’s solo set crashed by three of the four other members for surprise performance, and they reunited virtually during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns to raise money for charity.

Powderfinger 2027 Tour Dates, Venues and Cities

It’s been a long, long wait for fans of Powderfinger to see the band live: 16 years to be exact. Plenty has changed since 2010, after all. Chances are you didn’t have a Spotify account, Apple Music wasn’t even close to existing and TikTok was just a song by Ke$ha.

But, with the band’s announcement today, fans can finally get keen again. Hard to say the same for Powderfinger peers Silverchair, however, who shut down the possibility of a reunion for the NRL Grand Final earlier this year despite their beloved Newcastle Knights qualifying.

Powderfinger’s 2027 tour dates and venues are as follows:

• Friday 3 September – Brisbane, Brisbane Showgrounds
• Saturday 4 September – Brisbane, Brisbane Showgrounds
• Friday 10 September – Brisbane, Brisbane Showgrounds
• Saturday 11 September – Brisbane, Brisbane Showgrounds
• Friday 17 September – Cairns, Cazalys Stadium
• Saturday 18 September – Cairns, Cazalys Stadium
• Friday 24 September – Perth, Wellington Square
• Saturday 25 September – Perth, Wellington Square
• Friday 1 October – Sydney, The Domain
• Saturday 2 October – Sydney, The Domain
• Friday 8 October – Sydney, The Domain
• Saturday 9 October – Sydney, The Domain
• Friday 15 October – Adelaide, Ellis Park
• Saturday 16 October – Adelaide, Ellis Park
• Friday 22 October – Melbourne, Melbourne Park Oval
• Saturday 23 October – Melbourne, Melbourne Park Oval
• Friday 29 October – Melbourne, Melbourne Park Oval
• Saturday 30 October – Melbourne, Melbourne Park Oval

And, just to start the rumour mill, the AFL and NRL Grand Finals both happen toward the end of September/early October, so I imagine that bidding war will be well underway to secure some iconic Australia pre-game entertainment (if it hasn’t already been won).

When Do Tickets for Powderfinger’s 2027 Tour Go on Sale?

The tour announcement comes after a series of teasers were posted by the band, with billboards being seen in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The teasers all included cryptic clues and references to the band, but nothing about what they’d actually announce at the time.

“We have always been so grateful for the continued support from our long-term fans and over the years we’ve picked up a lot of new ones who have never seen us play,” the band said in a press statement of the tour.

“So, it feels right to bring all of these people (including our kids who were too young to see us play) together for a special run of shows around the country next year.”
 
“People often tell us that our music is connected to their most treasured and joyous memories. We hope to spread a little more of that joy when we make our way around the country with some of Australia’s best established and upcoming talent, and to make some new memories for us all.”
