To coincide with their 2026 headline tour of Australia and New Zealand, OneRepublic have confirmed that they will also perform Nova’s Red Room.
The GRAMMY-nominated group, fronted by songwriter-producer Ryan Tedder, will play at Liberty Hall in Sydney on Monday, February 9th, giving fans a rare close-up moment with the chart-toppers as part of their Sweet Escape Australian tour.
OneRepublic last played Nova’s Red Room at Melbourne’s Hotel Esplanade five years ago.
Their 2026 return comes alongside five arena dates, including Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney and shows in the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth.
OneRepublic 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.
