They’ll play cuts from all four of their records on this run, which heads to Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

Get ready to feel good as hell: Lizzo is bringing The Special Tour to Australia and New Zealand. There really is something for everyone on the calendar, so with that in mind, NME has compiled a roundup of the biggest tours, concerts and gigs set to hit Australian shores throughout 2023.

The second half of the year is positively stacked with drool-worthy gigs, from pop heavyweights like Charlie Puth and Lizzo, to rock and punk favourites like Evanescence, Thrice and Ghost. Heading into 2023, the touring landscape only grew more chaotic – there’s been no shortage of enormous stadium and arena tours from pop and rock icons, as well as theatre and club runs from our indie favourites. Whether they were filling out stadiums for titans like Billie Eillish and Dua Lipa, or flocking to more intimate gigs at their nearest local, Australian crowds welcomed a stellar batch of touring artists with open – and likely flailing – arms. Australian live music fans were spoilt for choice in 2022: with borders finally reopened globally, we saw hundreds upon hundreds of artists make their way Down Under for some much-welcomed gigging.
