Zara Larsson Announces 2026 Australian Tour Dates
Swedish pop sensation Zara Larsson is set to light up Australian stages once again, announcing the local leg of her wildly successful Midnight Sun World Tour. After more than a decade since her last visit Down Under, fans have been eagerly awaiting this news. The tour coincides with the release of her fourth studio album, Midnight Sun, dropped in late 2025, which has already garnered critical acclaim for its raw emotion and artistic evolution.
A Long-Awaited Return to Australia
Zara Larsson first captured global attention as a teenager on Sweden's Got Talent, but her star has only risen since. Now 27, she's returning to Australia with a show that's sold out venues worldwide over the past year. This tour marks a significant milestone, building on the success of her previous albums like 2017's So Good, 2021's Poster Girl, and 2024's VENUS. Midnight Sun dives deeper into her personal growth, blending confidence with vulnerability in tracks that explore love, ambition, and uncertainty.
The album's storytelling is a highlight, with songs like the titular "Midnight Sun" and "Pretty Ugly" showcasing Zara's multifaceted persona. The official music video for "Midnight Sun" has amassed millions of views on YouTube, featuring stunning visuals that mirror the album's themes of introspection and empowerment. For Australian fans, this tour promises an intimate yet explosive performance, reflecting Zara's nearly two-decade journey in the spotlight.
2026 Australian Tour Dates and Venues
Zara's Australian dates are limited but perfectly placed to hit major cities. Here's the rundown:
- October 14, 2026: Riverstage, Brisbane, QLD
- October 20, 2026: Perth HPC (HBF Park), Perth, WA
These outdoor and arena-style venues are ideal for Zara's high-energy pop anthems. Riverstage in Brisbane offers a scenic, open-air vibe under the stars, while Perth's HPC provides a modern, state-of-the-art setup for an immersive experience. With only two stops, expect high demand—similar to how her international dates have flown off the shelves.
What to Expect from the Show
Based on reviews from her world tour legs, Zara's performances are a mix of powerhouse vocals, interactive fan moments, and visuals inspired by Midnight Sun's themes. Expect setlists heavy on new tracks like "Midnight Sun" and "Pretty Ugly," alongside classics such as "Lush Life" and "Never Forget You." The show's production emphasizes Zara's roots in Swedish pop while pushing boundaries with contemporary beats and emotional depth.
