The Used will return to Australia early next year for a show unlike any other gig of their career.
In March 2026, the American emo rockers will tick another milestone achievement off their bucket list. The Used will perform at the Sydney Opera House for the first time, for a one-night-only, unforgettable black-tie event, backed by a full symphony orchestra and choir.
The exclusive event will take place on Sunday, 29 March. Titled A Mid Summer Night’s Symphony, fans will have the opportunity to experience The Used’s music in a whole new light. Since dropping a teaser about the show on social media yesterday (26 November), the hype has been real—and it won’t be dying down anytime soon.

“The Sydney Opera House is one of the most prestigious venues in the world. And we will be playing there with full orchestra and choir!” exclaimed vocalist Bert McCracken in a statement. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for The Used, and we couldn’t be more excited. Can’t wait to see you there!”
The one-off show will follow The Used’s mostly sold-out 25th anniversary tour, which visited Australia in August and September. Across three nights per city, the band spotlighted their 2002 self-titled album, 2004’s In Love And Death, and 2007’s Lies For The Liars. Playing the albums in their entirety, the band touched down in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, and Fremantle.
Next March, however, The Used will bring their most expansive show to date to Australian shores, with the orchestral additions set to provide many surprises.
Early Bird pre-sale tickets will be available on Tuesday, 2 December, at 11 am AEDT – you can register here to gain access to those tickets. The general sale opens on Wednesday, 3 December, at 11 am AEDT via the Sydney Opera House website.
