Pop-rock favourites OneRepublic have announced their highly anticipated return to Australia and New Zealand for ‘The Sweet Escape’ tour in February 2026.
The tour is set to commence at Auckland’s Spark Arena on February 4th, 2026, followed by shows in Sydney, the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Perth (see full details below). Sharing the stage will be Zara Larsson, who will be making her debut Down Under.
Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday, May 30th at 2pm local time. The Mastercard pre-sale begins on Wednesday, May 28th at 1pm, and the Live Nation pre-sale on Thursday, May 29th at 1pm local time.
OneRepublic, fronted by Ryan Tedder, have been non-stop for over two decades. Since their 2007 debut, they’ve amassed over 5 billion streams on Spotify alone thanks to hits like “Counting Stars” and “Apologise”, which shattered digital sales and airplay records worldwide.
A testament to their enduring popularity, OneRepublic are no strangers to partnering with other hit musicians and featuring on the soundtracks of top tier films and series.
Their 2022 hit “I Ain’t Worried” featured in the blockbuster film Top Gun: Maverick. Last year, they teamed up with David Guetta on “I Don’t Wanna Wait”, and they also shared “Nobody (from Kaiju No.8)”, which is the end credit song for the hugely successful manga-turned-anime series Kaiju. No 8. Together with Italian electronic group Meduza and German artist Leony, they released “Fire”, the official song for the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament.
In July, 2024, OneRepublic debuted their sixth studio album, Artificial Paradise, featuring “Hurt” and “Sink or Swim”, and earlier this year released “Chasing Paradise” with Kygo.
