Beabadoobee announces her first Australian arena run, bringing ‘The Powerlines Tour’ to Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in March 2027
Beabadoobee is graduating to arenas Down Under. The Filipino-British indie-pop star has announced her first-ever Australian arena run, bringing The Powerlines Tour to the country’s east coast in March 2027 for her biggest venues in the region to date. Presented by Handsome Tours, triple j, and Laneway Presents, the three-date run supports her forthcoming fourth studio album Pylon, and it marks a significant step up for an artist whose Australian history has run through festivals and club shows rather than rooms this size.
The routing is compact but weighty. The Australian leg opens at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Monday, March 15, before heading to Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Thursday, March 18 and closing at Sydney’s Afterpay Arena on Saturday, March 20. Tickets go on general sale at 10 a.m. local time on Thursday, September 10, following artist and PayPal presales on September 8 and promoter and Spotify presales on September 9.
Part of a Career-Biggest Run
These dates are not a standalone event. They form part of the most ambitious touring cycle of Beabadoobee’s career, a global run that also includes marquee headline stops at New York’s Madison Square Garden, the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, and London’s O2 Arena. For an artist, born Beatrice Laus, who built her early reputation in far smaller indie venues, the jump to selling arenas on multiple continents is a clear marker of how quickly her commercial standing has grown.
The scale-up has been building all year. In 2025 alone, Beabadoobee made her Coachella debut, returned to Glastonbury, and joined Coldplay for a UK stadium run, exactly the kind of high-visibility slots that turn a critically adored indie act into a genuine arena headliner. Her most recent Australian visit came via Laneway Festival in 2025, a trip that also produced a pair of memorable moments: reuniting with Clairo onstage in Melbourne for their collaboration “Glue Song,” and reworking Bic Runga’s “Sway” for triple j’s Like A Version. The arena dates are a substantial leap from that festival appearance.
A Heavier New Era on ‘Pylon’
The tour arrives directly behind Pylon, out September 18 via Dirty Hit and Interscope, and the album is shaping up as a bolder, harder-edged statement. Laus has described the new era as louder, angstier, and grittier than her previous work, and the early singles “Sun Has Set,” “Switchblade,” and “Memories” point toward a heavier, more distorted direction. She has already begun folding the new material into her live sets across recent appearances at Lollapalooza, Hinterland, and Red Rocks.
Pylon also boasts an all-star cast of collaborators that underscores her rising stature. Hayley Williams sings on “Nothing to Prove,” Turnstile’s Brendan Yates offers a verse on “Powerlines,” and the record features appearances from Deftones’ Chino Moreno, Pinegrove’s Evan Stephens Hall, and Title Fight’s Shane Moran, alongside production contributions from Dirty Hit labelmates and The 1975 members Matty Healy and George Daniel. That roster, heavy on rock and hardcore heavyweights, reinforces the album’s grittier ambitions.
The title carries real meaning. Named for the steel electricity towers that support overhead high-voltage lines across the landscape, the pylons, as a press release explains, reminded Laus of her connection to friends and family at home while she stared down extreme disconnection and isolation on tour over the past few years. It is a fitting emblem for a record made on the road and a tour designed to be her largest yet.
By the time Beabadoobee touches down in Brisbane next March, she will have spent months proving Pylon in arenas around the world. For Australian fans who watched her rise through festival tents and theaters, the chance to see her headline a room this big is its own milestone. The Powerlines Tour hits Australia in March 2027.
