Here are all the biggest concerts and tours coming to Australia in 2023

From massive stadium tours to intimate shows, here’s NME’s roundup of concerts set to hit Australian shores throughout 2023

Australian live music fans were spoilt for choice in 2022: with borders finally reopened globally, we saw hundreds upon hundreds of artists make their way Down Under for some much-welcomed gigging. Whether they were filling out stadiums for titans like Billie Eillish and Dua Lipa , or flocking to more intimate gigs at their nearest local, Australian crowds welcomed a stellar batch of touring artists with open – and likely flailing – arms.

Heading into 2023, the touring landscape only grew more chaotic – there’s been no shortage of enormous stadium and arena tours from pop and rock icons, as well as theatre and club runs from our indie favourites. The second half of the year is positively stacked with drool-worthy gigs, from pop heavyweights like Charlie Puth  and Lizzo , to rock and punk favourites like Evanescence , Thrice and Ghost .

There really is something for everyone on the calendar, so with that in mind, NME has compiled a roundup of the biggest tours, concerts and gigs set to hit Australian shores throughout 2023.

Brisbane Tours & Vacations

Welcome to Queensland’s sunny capital, where big city life and laid-back vibes collide

Brisbane might be a big city, but it has a big-town atmosphere. Ferries ply the waters of the Brisbane River, the beach is less than an hour away by car (or 5 minutes if you go to South Bank) and the sub-tropical weather lends itself to some pretty magical sunsets. Brisbane is a launching pad for adventures in Noosa , Fraser Island , the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef , but there's plenty to keep you entertained in the city. Discover fine art at one of the many galleries, uncover its thriving dining scene, or connect with Country on a First Nations cultural experience .

Our Brisbane trips

Let's create an exclusive trip for your group.

Brisbane highlights

Brisbane travel faqs, do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

How do I get to Brisbane?

Brisbane Airport is well-connected with direct flights to 29 international and over 40 domestic destinations. The CBD is located just 10 miles from the airport and is easy to get to on the train, bus or in a rideshare/taxi.

Getting around Brisbane

If you don't have far to go, it's easy to walk around Brisbane's CBD as it's almost completely flat. If you want to travel further afield, you can rent a car or catch a bus, ferry or train. Brisbane also has an excellent network of bikeways and a public bike hire scheme if you want to be active.

When is the best time to visit Brisbane?

With a subtropical climate, any time of year is a good time to visit Brisbane. The weather is hot for the majority of the year, but there is some seasonal variation.

Summer is hot, humid and wet, which calls for swimming in the city lagoon and cool drinks on rooftop bars.

Spring and autumn are slightly cooler and dry, so the weather is near perfect for most activities.

Winter is the coolest time of year, but daytime temperatures are still warm, and with clear skies and minimal rain, it's a great time of year to go hiking or cycling.

Are Intrepid trips accessible for travelers with disabilities?

We are committed to making travel widely  accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

What should I pack for Brisbane?

Brisbane is a laid-back destination and smart casual is the most common style of dress for a night out unless you're planning on hitting the clubs in Fortitude Valley. It's pleasantly warm throughout the year, although it can get cool in the evening so bring a lightweight sweater just in case.

Bring swimwear as well as you may like to go swimming, even in winter. Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat are a must all year as sunshine is plentiful.

What is internet access like in Brisbane?

Brisbane is the capital of Queensland so there's good wi-fi coverage in cafes, bars and restaurants in town and the surrounding area. Free wi-fi is available in the Queen Street Mall, State Library of Queensland and on most trains and ferry services.

Can I use my mobile phone in Brisbane?

There's good mobile phone coverage in town and the surrounding area. However, you may have patchy signal when you're on the road or in nearby national parks.

What is the weather like in Brisbane?

Brisbane is known for having reasonably good weather all year round with tourists flocking to the state to enjoy warm year-round temperatures and plentiful sunshine.

It never gets super cold in Brisbane, with average lows dropping to a mild 48°F or 50°F in July, the coolest month of the year. At the height of summer in January and February, overnight temperatures only drop to 72°F.

Tour de Brisbane

The Tour de Brisbane is an urban event hosted in Brisbane, Australia’s third largest city. The ride is the first of its kind in Australia, with a start and finish in the city center (South Bank) featuring 110km of fully closed city roads. With five technical turns, four expressways, three tunnels, two bridges, and one major mountain climb – this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to ride in the Sunshine State of Queensland.

Enhance your Tour de Brisbane experience by taking time to explore the city. Brisbane is geared for the great outdoors with blockbuster events, adventure activities and mouth-watering food. Climb the Story Bridge, cuddle a koala, browse a world-class exhibition, explore craft breweries, cruise or kayak the river or go rock climbing and abseiling with the city as your backdrop.

Make the most of the city’s extensive network of bikeways and shared pathways, with weather that makes cycling a joy all year round. The CityCycle scheme allows you to hire bicycles from stations dotted throughout the city, enabling you to use peddle power to see the sights.

Or join a dedicated cycling tour and discover beautiful bikeways by the river and lush parklands while getting inside information on what makes Brisbane tick. Hit the central business district and take a walking tour that takes in the city’s laneways, fascinating public art and hidden secrets.

Across the river, take a dip in the iconic Streets Beach swimming lagoon, dine at a waterfront restaurant or explore the eye-opening, family-friendly exhibitions and interactive displays in the museums and galleries of the Cultural Precinct – or enjoy a show at the performing arts centre.

Just offshore, cruise across pristine Moreton Bay to discover an island paradise where snorkelling sunken wrecks, sand boarding, surfing, fishing, 4WD-tours, kayaking, wildlife spotting and glamping adventures await. Head inland from Brisbane and discover stunning mountain ranges, World Heritage-listed rainforests, fresh produce and authentic farm experiences.

The Tour de Brisbane is part of the Brisbane Cycling Festival. Find out more at  http://www.visitbrisbane.com.au/   or  https://brisbanecyclingfestival.com/  or  http://www.queensland.com

The Tour de Brisbane Gran Fondo starts in the heart of Brisbane at Gregory Terrace and the Brisbane Showgrounds, and begins with a loop through the city, crossing the Brisbane River.

The first part going south out of the city is totally flat on big major roads before returning to the city where the main difficulty of the day is waiting for you : Mount Coot-tha, a 2km climb at 9% with a top at only 16km before the finish. After the downhill, there are only a few kilometers left. Total elevation is 1250m.

Based in the city centre, there’s easy access to the airport, hotels and all the amenities. There’s no better time to come and join the world for a bike ride down under.

The time trial is held in Mount Walker, one hour southwest of Brisbane on a 17.7km out-and-back loop on a flat and fast straight road with a U-turn halfway.  It also doubles as the Oceania time trial Championships.

NRS guide: What to know about the 2024 Tour de Brisbane

The 2024 AusCycling National Road Series (NRS) returns for its second stop of the year at Tour de Brisbane this Sunday — here's what you need to know ahead of the super early morning start in the heart of Brisbane.

The men’s race traverses Tour de Brisbane’s trademark route of tunnels, motorways and inner-city streets for another year over a 102.2-kilometre course.

Mt Coot-tha is once again the jewel in the crown of the route, with the men’s race heading over Brisbane’s famous inner-city climb twice via the back side.

Beginning at the start/finish line on O’Connell Terrace in Bowen Hills, the race immediately heads west through the Legacy Way tunnel onto the Centenary Motorway out and back loop.

After 29 kilometres, the men’s race makes a left turn onto the steep 800-metre Mt Coot-tha Road ramp that preludes the main Mt Coot-tha climb. The two back side ascents of Mt Coot-tha that follow are sure to be decisive and spark attacks, but only once ( 2021 ) has a move made on Mt Coot-tha led to a race-winning breakaway.

From there, it’s one final loop of the Centenary Motorway section before heading back into the Legacy Way tunnel towards the Brisbane Airport via the picturesque Kingsford Smith Drive in Hamilton.

The final 52 kilometres of the men’s race are flat and fast until they reach the technical run-in to the finish back on O’Connell Terrace.

In its entirety, the final kilometre contains a hairpin left turn onto a sweeping left bend ramp, then sharp right then left corners to exit the motorway, followed by a final tight right turn at 100 metres to go. To summarise — hectic.

Women’s race

The women’s race follows the same route as the men’s race minus Mt Coot-tha.

The 81.3-kilometre course tackles the Centenary Motorway section of the route back-to-back, with the motorway undulations providing the only real test of elevation on the course.

The 2023 edition finished with a bunch sprint and the course favours that occurring again in 2024. The technical run-in to the finish on O’Connell Terrace means the field will be fighting to be at the front of the race into the final corner at 100 metres to go.

It’s been two months since the opening round of the NRS season at Melbourne to Warrnambool where we saw Lucinda Stewart (ARA Skip Capital) and Mark O’Brien emerge victorious.

Both Stewart and O’Brien won’t take to the start line in Brisbane on Sunday, leaving the door wide open for new series leaders before Grafton to Inverell in two weeks .

Team BridgeLane enter any NRS race as marked men. Tour Down Under KOM jersey winner Luke Burns called Brisbane home briefly a few years ago and will know every section of Mt Coot-tha that is ripe for an attack. New phenom Jackson Medway had a debut summer of cycling to remember with BridgeLane and the ARA Australian Cycling Team and finished 10th at Melbourne to Warrnambool. Teammate Zac Marriage was his Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race breakaway companion and can never be discounted as a potential race winner in the NRS. Cyclo-crosser Max Hobson will make his BridgeLane NRS debut in his hometown race after spending the Australian summer in Europe racing CX. Hobson rocketed to a surprise prologue win at the 2023 Tour of Tasmania and could be in his element in the technical finale with his punchy power.

CCACHE x Par Küp has a strong line-up in Brisbane and possess the fastest sprinter on paper in Graeme Frislie . Bentley Niquet-Olden cracked his first UCI win from a breakaway sprint finish at the recent Tour de Taiwan and loves to be active early. The same can be said for teammates Max Campbell and Tali Lane Welsh . The addition of the experienced Alastair Christie-Johnston has been invaluable so far this year. He finished fourth at Melbourne to Warrnambool and sits in a prime position to jump into the NRS leader’s jersey.

Criterion BEx Racing and Cycling Development Foundation are both loading up on numbers and will race with a full squad of nine, the only other team to do so is BridgeLane. Of those lists, Mitchell McGovern (Criterion BEx Racing) performed well last year to finish sixth and Brisbane-based Malaysian teammate Ren Bao Tsen won the Young Rider Jersey at the Tour of Thailand just last week. Brendon Green will most likely be Cycling Development Foundation’s best option.

Tandem Co Pro Cycling always brings the heat at their hometown race and snagged a top-10 finish last year via Brent Rees in eighth. The likes of Cameron Wright or Josh Beikoff could be their best on Sunday.

Oli Stenning (Blackshaw Racing) could be a man to watch on Mt Coot-tha, as could the always aggressive legs of Ben Carman (St George Continental), Jack Aitken (Team Royal Bikes) and Angus Miller (Van D'am Racing p/b Butterfields).

Finally, three Saudi Arabian National Team riders visiting Australia on a development trip help form the more than 115-strong NRS men’s start list.

Defending Tour de Brisbane winner Haylee Fuller forms part of an insanely deep Team BridgeLane squad in the women’s race. It will be seriously tough for the rest of the NRS women’s peloton to stave off the fast-finishing threats of Keely Bennett , Matilda Raynolds and Gina Ricardo on this course.

Sophie Edwards looms as the closest rival to BridgeLane, but she will have to do it on her own as the sole ARA Skip Capital rider — not exactly the easiest task. Edwards could also have bigger sights set on defending her Oceania Road Race Championship on Friday in Mount Crosby.

Josie Pepper (Butterfields Racing) scored an impressive second-place finish at the Warrnambool Women’s Cycling Classic and has a big opportunity to jump into the NRS leader’s jersey with a good outing on Sunday.

Young Victorian Belinda Bailey (Team Hydraplay Femme - Empowered by the Mental Wheels Foundation) was in the mix last year, finishing ninth in the bunch sprint.

Hayley Jones (Womens Cycling Development Initiative P/B Balmoral CC) is back racing in the NRS with her new team, one which she co-founded late last year alongside fellow Brisbanite Maddison Taylor. The new venture has motivated Jones to return to racing and she hasn’t taken long to find form locally. Don’t be surprised to see her towards the front as the race reaches its crescendo.

Cycling Development Foundation’s Sophia Sammons found herself in the break during her NRS debut at Warrny, a move that would help her finish fourth. It’s hard to compare Tour de Brisbane’s short 81.3-kilometre race to the 155.7-kilometre women’s Warrny but it’s clear 18-year-old Sammons has some talent.

We’ll also be keeping an eye on several individual riders, including multi-time NRS stage winner Georgia Whitehouse , Western Australian Isla Carr , and Hannah Gianatti , who is one of 12 juniors set to race in Europe this year as part of an AusCycling development opportunity through the ARA Australian Cycling Team.

Sunday is predicted to be a partly cloudy day in Brisbane, with a chance of rain in the morning.

Humidity will be high for the early morning start and temperatures are forecast to range from 18 to 24 degrees Celsius over the race duration.

Only light winds are forecast which means they won’t be a factor on the exposed out and back stretches of the Centenary Motorway.

How to watch

Tour de Brisbane will be live streamed on SBS on Demand .

The men’s race starts at 5:45am, followed by the women’s race at 5:50am.

The Indian men's hockey team will face the Kookaburras in five matches as part of its 2024 tour of Australia. All five matches, to be live streamed, will be played in Perth, with the first scheduled this Saturday.

The tour will also provide both teams a chance to measure each other up before the big meeting in France.

Currently, Australia are ranked fifth in the world hockey rankings while India are fourth.

The two teams have already squared off twice this year in the FIH Pro League. The Kookaburras won the first match 6-4 at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar.

India held the Aussies to a 2-2 draw at the Birsa Munda International Hockey Stadium in Rourkela in the second fixture but ended up losing the bonus point shootout 3-0.
