Belinda Carlisle will bid farewell to her Australian fans in 2027.
Announced today, the global pop icon will say goodbye to her local fans on the aptly titled ‘G’day & Goodbye Tour’ in March 2027, stopping in Fremantle, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane (see full dates below).
Tickets to the tour go on sale to the general public on Thursday, November 27th at 10am local time. The pre-sale begins on Wednesday, November 26th at 10am local time.
“Australia has always held such a special place in my heart,” says Carlisle. “The fans here have supported me from the very beginning so this tour will be one big thank-you! A celebration of the music, memories and magic we’ve shared.”
Carlisle recently released her latest covers album, Once Upon a Time in California, her first English language album in 29 years. Classic songs covered include Dionne Warwick’s “Anyone Who Had a Heart”, Jim Croce’s “Time in a Bottle”, and Albert Hammond’s “The Air That I Breathe”.
In an exclusive interview to coincide with her latest album, Carlisle recalled “a really good Split Enz story.”
“It was in 1977, they came to LA and I saw them – with the brothers [Neil and Tim Finn] – at the Roxy. It was like theatre; it was the most amazing thing I’d seen,” she told us.

“And then that same weekend, I had a party. I was living at this infamous flophouse called Disgraceland with a bunch of girls. So we had a party – girls only, no boyfriends were allowed. You wore see-through negligees, stilettos, and [ate] fattening foods. We were all drinking and there was music going. Then there was a knock at the door and there was Neil Finn and some of the guys from Split Enz! They could not believe that they had just walked into this jackpot of, like, 40 girls in see-through negligees. And we go, ‘Come on in!’
“So they just came in and they were the only guys that were allowed. And when I ran into Neil, like, 10 or 15 years later, he still talks about that party that they just happened to walk into with all these girls – they couldn’t believe it.
“I think they were pretty awkward, but it was really, really funny. So, yeah! But I love that song [‘Stuff and Nonsense’]. I mean, on my Spotify list I have ‘History Never Repeats’ and ‘I Hope I Never’. I love that song. It’s such a good song. So, yeah! I’m a big fan.”
