Zara Larsson Australia tour adds Perth and Brisbane shows for October 2026

Zara Larsson is heading back to Australia for the first time in more than a decade, announcing a five-date run of arena and large-theatre shows in October 2026. The tour brings her to Brisbane and Perth as part of the Midnight Sun cycle, with ticket sales set to open later this week.

The announcement lands as Larsson continues to build momentum behind her latest album era, with the Australia leg framed as a focused sprint through the country’s major touring markets rather than an extended run.

Zara Larsson Australia tour dates

Here are the announced shows, listed in Eastern Time (ET):

For fans searching specifically for Zara Larsson Perth and Zara Larsson Brisbane, those stops bookend the run: Brisbane opens the tour, Perth closes it.

Why this return is a big deal

Larsson hasn’t toured Australia in years, and this itinerary reads like a statement: one night per city, minimal downtime, and venues sized for a major pop act with a catalog that spans global hits and newer material. For Australian fans, that usually means two things at once—high demand and little room for schedule changes.

It also positions the shows as a “you get one night” event in each market, which tends to push presales and general onsales into fast-moving territory.

Brisbane and Perth: what to expect

Brisbane (Riverstage) is a classic outdoor setting that can feel festival-adjacent even for a solo headliner. It often favors big hooks and crowd participation, which fits Larsson’s setlist history—dance-pop peaks, power-chorus moments, and singalong transitions.

Perth (Perth HPC), by contrast, lands as the capstone date after four cities in six days. Final-night shows on Australian runs can be especially high-energy because crews and performers treat them like the exhale at the end of a sprint, and artists will sometimes add small setlist tweaks or extra crowd moments.

Ticket timing and the ET conversion

The general onsale is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. ET (which corresponds to Friday morning local time on Australia’s east coast). For Perth-based fans, the same “Friday morning local time” window aligns to Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. ET.

Because onsales are typically run in local venue time, the clean takeaway is: in ET, the rollout starts Thursday evening; in Australia, it’s Friday morning.

The Midnight Sun era and setlist shape

While exact setlists can vary by region, this tour branding signals a show that blends the newest record with established staples. Larsson’s recent live format has leaned into:

• fast openers that hit a chorus quickly,

• a middle stretch that spotlights newer songs with heavier choreography and lighting design,

• a late-show run of familiar singles designed for maximum crowd lift.

With only five shows and large venues, the production is likely to be streamlined and consistent city-to-city—less like a “bespoke” theatre run, more like a tight arena pop package.

What to watch between now and October

The key variables for fans are support-act announcements and any added dates. A five-show routing leaves limited flexibility, but strong demand in Brisbane or Perth can sometimes trigger additional nights if venue calendars allow.

Also watch for festival tie-ins. October is a busy month in Australia’s touring calendar, and pop acts sometimes attach to existing large events or add side appearances around a short run like this.
