Acclaimed Swedish-Argentinian singer-songwriter José González returns to Australia and New Zealand in early 2027, following his 2024 run celebrating the 20th anniversary of his beloved album, Veneer.

The Australian shows begin at Adelaide’s Hindley Street Music Hall on Wednesday, 24 February. They continue at Brisbane’s On the Banks series on the Cultural Forecourt, South Bank on Thursday, 25 February, the Sydney Opera House on Saturday, 27 February, and conclude at Melbourne’s Palace Foreshore on Sunday, 28 February.

Following his Australian dates, González heads to New Zealand, performing at Wellington’s Meow Nui on Tuesday, 2 March, Auckland’s New Zealand International Convention Centre on Wednesday, 3 March, and Christchurch’s Isaac Theatre Royal on Thursday, 4 March.

The promoter and Spotify pre-sales take place on Thursday, 29 October, at 11 am local time, with the general sale opening on Friday, 30 October, at 11 am local time. Head to the Handsome Tours website for more ticketing information.

González returns to Australia while touring in support of his fifth album, Against the Dying of the Light, released earlier this year. The record examines the accelerating development of artificial intelligence, the need for technical responsibility, and other challenges facing humanity.

Featuring his signature fingerpicked guitar and understated vocals, González continues to showcase his distinctive, timeless storytelling. In addition to new songs, audiences can expect evenings of exploring González’s acclaimed catalogue, including beloved tracks like Heartbeats and Crosses.
