Beck has announced a one-off Melbourne show for February 2027, ahead of his previously confirmed appearance at Sydney Summertime.
The eight-time Grammy Award winner will bring his ‘Ride Lonesome Tour’ to Margaret Court Arena on Thursday, February 18th, before he joins The Strokes, Courtney Barnett and Promiseland at Sydney’s Centennial Park on February 20th. As previously reported by Rolling Stone AU/NZ, the Sydney Summertime performance will also mark the final Australian date of The Strokes’ ‘Reality Awaits Tour’.
Tickets to Beck’s Melbourne show will go on sale at 11am on Monday, November 16th, following a Frontier Members presale from 11am on Friday, November 13th. All times are local. Sign up for presale here.
Beck’s Melbourne performance will feature a full-band set centred around his latest album, Ride Lonesome, which was released in September via Capitol Records. The record marked his first collection of entirely new material since 2019’s Hyperspace.
Produced by Beck and mixed by longtime collaborator Nigel Godrich, the album has drawn comparisons to his earlier releases Sea Change (2002) and Morning Phase (2014), receiving widespread critical acclaim.
The Australian dates follow an extensive sold-out North American tour, which included performances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, Toronto’s Massey Hall and New York’s Brooklyn Paramount.
Beck was on our shores earlier this year, performing a series of orchestral shows, including dates at the Sydney Opera House and Melbourne’s Palais Theatre. Rolling Stone AU/NZ gave his Opera House show a 4-star review, praising the “thoroughly satisfying and career-spanning set complemented by the exceptional musicians of the SSO”.
