Grace Jones Plots 2026 Australian Tour Dates, Named WOMADelaide Saturday Headliner

Global icon and boundary-pushing artist, Grace Jones, has announced 2026 Australian tour dates – including a Saturday night headline slot at next year’s WOMADelaide Festival.

The Jamaican singer, LGBTQIA+ icon, art-rock symbol, and Bond film villain will return to Australia next February and March. Recognised for classic tracks like Pull Up To The Bumper, My Jamaican Guy, and Slave To The Rhythm, Jones remains unrivalled with her distinctive, husky voice and theatrical stage presence.

Jones will be playing all-outdoor shows next year, starting at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt on Saturday, 28 February. The tour continues at Melbourne’s Palace Foreshore on Monday, 2 March, Brisbane’s South Bank Cultural Forecourt (as part of the On The Banks live music series) on Thursday, 5 March, and concludes at WOMADelaide on Saturday, 7 March.

Pre-sale tickets will be available on Thursday, 18 December, at 9 am local time—you can register for access here—followed by the general sale on Friday, 19 December, at 9 am local time. Head to the Handsome Tours website to lock in tickets.

WOMADelaide tickets are already available. At the festival, Jones will perform alongside Arrested Development, BADBADNOTGOOD, Baker Boy, Ganavya, Kankawa Nagarra, Troy Cassar-Daley, and many others. You can find out more on the WOMADelaide website.

Jones has transformed music, fashion, performance and identity across generations. Last in Australia in 2018, these shows are experiences fans won’t want to miss.

Reviewing her show at Elder Park in 2018, The Music’s Darren M. Leach remarked, “Musically, the band was tight; they are amazing musicians. Jones's voice is still fantastic after all these years. She was chatty throughout the entire show and is a wonderful show(wo)man. If you missed this, prepare for a regretful period of your life!”
