Nickelback tickets for seven Australian shows go on sale Friday, Oct. 16 at 10 a.m. local time, giving fans in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Geelong, Brisbane, Sydney and Pokolbin a narrow window to buy into the band’s 2027 world tour. The run opens on Oct. 2 and closes on Oct. 16, with Don Broco set as direct support.
Oct. 16 sale window
Seven Australian dates is a tight schedule for a band still drawing on the commercial weight of How You Remind Me, which reached No. 1 on The Billboard Hot 100 and finished 2002 as the chart’s year-end No. 1 single. For ticket buyers, the practical point is simple: general access begins at 10 a.m. local time on Oct. 16, while presales are set for earlier that week, so the first chance at inventory does not wait until the public sale.
The Australian itinerary starts at Perth’s RAC Arena on Oct. 2 and runs through Adelaide Entertainment Centre Arena, Rod Laver Arena, Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Afterpay Arena, Mount Duneed Estate and Roche Estate in the Hunter Valley. Geelong lands on Oct. 9 at Mount Duneed Estate, while Pokolbin closes the leg at Roche Estate on Oct. 16.
Nickelback returns after 2019
The 2027 dates matter because they are Nickelback’s first Australian shows since the Feed the Machine tour in early 2019. The band skipped Australia on its 2022 Get Rollin’ run, so this seven-date swing restores a market that has gone without the group for years rather than months.
That gap also explains why the billing is moving as a full package instead of a one-off visit. Don Broco comes in as support after taking a No. 1 U.K. album in 2021 with Amazing Things, and that kind of pairing typically gives a tour a broader draw across age groups and ticket tiers.
Where the tour lands
The Australian leg follows a North American run opening Feb. 6 in Pittsburgh and a U.K. and European leg from May 22 to July 13, placing Australia at the end of the band’s 2027 world tour. Everything Under the Sun, Nickelback’s 11th studio album, is due Oct. 30 via Virgin Music Group, and the set includes “Rattle the Cage,” which is currently No. 1 at active rock radio in the U.S., along with “Leave Me Behind” and “Make Me Love You.”
For readers deciding whether to act, the takeaway is immediate: the cheapest path into the room is likely to be the earlier presales, not the public on-sale hour. Anyone targeting Perth through Pokolbin should be ready before 10 a.m. local time on Oct. 16, because seven Australian dates do not leave much room for hesitation.
