Laufey Announces 2026 Australian Tour

Jazz trailblazer Laufey will perform her largest Australian and New Zealand shows to date this year.

Two years on from an ultra-successful tour that included extra shows and venue upgrades, Icelandic singer and musician Laufey has announced a 2026 Australian tour.

Returning to Australia and New Zealand this July and August, the Silver Lining singer is taking her show to grand new heights and performing her largest shows in the region to date.

Laufey’s A Matter of Time tour begins at Perth’s RAC Arena on Saturday, 25 July. It continues at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Tuesday, 28 July, Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Thursday, 30 July, the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Monday, 3 August, Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Friday, 7 August, and concludes with a show in New Zealand, taking place at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Wednesday, 12 August.

VISA cardholders in Australia and New Zealand can access pre-sale tickets on Tuesday, 10 March, at 11 am local time via the VISA AU and NZ websites.

The Frontier Members pre-sale opens on Wednesday, 11 March, at 1 pm local time, followed by the general sale on Friday, 13 March, at 2 pm local time. You can find more ticketing information on the Frontier Touring website.

Laufey is touring in support of her third album, A Matter of Time, which was released last August. The album secured the singer her second Grammy Award, taking home the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 68th annual Grammy Awards.

An artist bringing back jazz to Gen Z, Laufey is resonating with listeners across the globe, with her latest album debuting at #2 on the ARIA Albums Chart and topping the ARIA Jazz & Blues Albums Chart last year.

Reviewing Laufey’s first of three sold-out shows at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre in 2024, The Music’s Monique La Terra wrote, “The LA-based Icelandic-Chinese artist has repopularised an entire genre of music, making jazz accessible and cool to a whole new generation, presenting timeless arrangements through a uniquely confessional twentysomething lens, all with enchanting effect.”
