Calvin Harris is finally making his Australian headline debut, and the country gets four shows for the price of one. The Scottish DJ and producer will cross the continent next February for a coast-to-coast tour, his first ever as the main act in these parts.
The four-city trek kicks off in Perth on Feb. 18 at Langley Park, moves to Brisbane on Feb. 19 at the RNA Showgrounds, stops in Sydney on Feb. 20 at The Domain, and wraps up in Melbourne on Feb. 26 at Flemington Racecourse. Presented by Untitled Group, Full Circle and Live Nation, the tour is titled Calvin Harris – Australia Tour 2027.
Perth Opens the Run
Perth gets the opening night on Feb. 18 at Langley Park. The city starts the tour with a show that marks the beginning of a coast-to-coast journey across four Australian cities.
Brisbane Follows
Brisbane hosts the second show on Feb. 19 at the RNA Showgrounds. The move from Perth to Brisbane keeps the tour moving eastward along the coast.
Sydney Takes the Middle Spot
The Sydney show on Feb. 20 takes place at The Domain. It sits in the middle of the tour’s schedule, splitting the four dates between the two coasts.
Melbourne Closes It Out
The Melbourne show on Feb. 26 closes the tour at Flemington Racecourse. The final stop wraps up the coast-to-coast run after four nights.
Hits on the Menu
Aussie fans can expect a full set of anthems, reps say. The list spans his entire career, from early hits to recent collaborations:
- “One Kiss” with Dua Lipa
- “This Is What You Came For” featuring Rihanna
- “Summer”
- “Feel So Close”
- “Sweet Nothing” featuring Florence Welch
- “Blame” featuring John Newman
That range shows the depth of his catalog, covering everything from his earliest work through recent releases.
A Long History Down Under
Harris has performed in Australia before, but this is his first headline run. His last visit saw him headline Festival X in late 2022. He has also played sets at the Stereosonic in 2011, 2012 and 2014, and the 2010 Big Day Out.
Those three events are no longer on the festivals calendar, meaning this tour represents a fresh start for fans who may have seen him at any of those shows in the past.
The Numbers Behind the Name
Harris carries serious weight in his native UK. He is a Grammy Award-winner with 11 No. 1 singles there, dating back to his 2008 collaboration with Dizzee Rascal, “Dance Wiv Me.” No other dance act has more leaders on the Official U.K. Singles Chart.
His collection of career honors includes two Brit Awards and an Ivor Novello Award. He holds the record for the most U.K. No. 1 singles in the 2010s, with eight. He is also the first British solo artist to pass one billion streams on Spotify.
The Public On-Sale
The general public on-sale starts next Thursday, Sept. 24 at 1pm local time. That gives fans a clear date to mark their calendars.
