Fresh out of a pandemic, Australia’s 2023 touring calendar was one of the busiest in recent memory, as artists of all stripes took centrestage everywhere from stadium shows to intimate local gigs. With a starry schedule that included the likes of Post Malone , Red Hot Chili Peppers , and Mötley Crüe , it’ll be tricky for 2024’s schedule to outdo its predecessor – and yet, thanks to the likes of Taylor Swift , Blink-182 and Pink , plus Coldplay, Pearl Jam and SZA later in the year, it’s poised to do just that.

From debut headline shows for breakout artists to bustling festival sideshow programs, there’s something for everyone to enjoy as a stellar batch of musicians make their way Down Under in 2024. Read on for NME’s roundup of all the biggest concerts and tours coming to Australia this year.

Here are the concerts and tours coming to Australia in 2024:

Pink When: February 9 – March 23 Find tickets and more info

Australia bloody loves Pink , and she’s apparently pretty fond of her “home away from home” too. In 2009, she played 58 shows here as part of her Funhouse tour, performing for some 660,000 fans. In 2013, when she announced an Australian tour in support of sixth studio album ‘The Truth About Love’, 320,000 tickets were snapped up within a few hours of them going on sale.

It makes sense, then, that the American singer-songwriter has a slew of dates booked for her return in February and March 2024 as part of her Summer Carnival world tour . She’ll be bringing songs from her ninth studio album ‘Trustfall’ to stadiums around the country, including stops in Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

She’ll be playing a total of four shows at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium and conclude the tour at Townsville’s Queensland Country Bank stadium.

  • Depeche Mode

Aussie Depeche Mode fans are an incredibly patient bunch. The last time the British synth-pop titans toured the country was in 1994, meaning nearly three decades have passed since they last paid us a visit. But good things come to those who wait, and it seems there is a glimmer of hope for those hoping to catch the band Down Under.

  • READ MORE: Depeche Mode: every single album ranked and rated

In March 2023, Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan told an Italian blog that the band were eyeing “as-yet-unannounced dates in Asia and Australia” as part of a touring run that would lead into 2024. The band have toured the world in support of their latest album, ‘Memento Mori’ , and a trip to Australia to cap off the jaunt seems more likely than ever.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Extend 'Unlimited Love' Tour into 2024 with Support from Ice Cube, Kid Cudi and More

The rock group will resume their massive tour in support of their 12th studio album in spring 2024

Red Hot Chili Peppers “can’t stop” their touring momentum. 

On Monday, the rock band featuring frontman Anthony Kiedis, drummer Chad Smith, bassist Flea and guitarist John Frusciante announced that they’re extending their Unlimited Love Tour into 2024. The band first kicked off the tour in support of their 12th studio album in June 2022, and after continuing the shows into 2023, they’ll continue the stadium run for a third year. 

After playing two previously announced shows in Lincoln, California and Highland, California and a festival date at Tempe, Arizona’s Innings Festival in February, the latest North American leg of the Unlimited Love Tour will begin in late May. The “Californiacation” group will kick things off on May 28 in Ridgefield, Washington and then travel throughout the west and east coast. The string of 16 new live dates includes stops in both mid-sized and major cities, such as Salt Lake City, Utah, Tampa, Florida, Cincinnati, Ohio, Toronto and others.

The Grammy winners brought exciting guests with them out on the road on their first run of the Unlimited Love Tour — including A$AP Rocky , King Princess , St. Vincent, The Strokes and more— and their 2024 shows are no different. This time around, they’re also being supported by an eclectic mix of both hip-hop and rock acts. At select performances, they’ll be joined by rappers Ice Cube , Ken Carson and Kid Cudi , Afrobeat artist Seun Kuti & Egypt80 , Japanese punk group Otoboke Beaver , rock group Wand and indie band IRONTOM , who previously supported them at a handful of 2023 shows. 

When the “Scar Tissue” band first launched the Unlimited Love Tour, it marked their first tour in five years and a reunion with Frusciante, 53, who exited the band for a period from 2009 to 2019. ( Josh Klinghoffer filled in for him during his departure.)

Upon the announcement of their most recent, hit album in 2022, RHCP shared a statement in a press release about what it was like working together with the core lineup for the first time since 2006’s Stadium Arcadium . "Our only goal is to get lost in the music. We spent thousands of hours, collectively and individually, honing our craft and showing up for one another, to make the best album we could," the foursome shared. "We were just so damn grateful for the opportunity to be in a room together, and once again, try to get better."

Tickets for the 2024 Unlimited Love Tour start off with a presale for Citi cardholders on Dec. 5 at 10 a.m. local time, which lasts until Dec. 7 at 10 p.m. local time.

Red Hot Chili Peppers  christened their 12th album,  Unlimited Love , with a whirlwind of appearances on Friday, including a pair of late-night TV spots and a surprise show in their native Los Angeles, CA. Out now, the album marks RHCP’s first with guitarist  John Frusciante  since 2006’s  Stadium Arcadium .

Those watching at home on Friday had two chances to catch the Chili Peppers when they appeared simultaneously on  The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon  and  Jimmy Kimmel Live . To add to the confusion,  Jimmy Kimmel  and  Jimmy Fallon  had switched shows in an April Fools prank. Viewers who tuned in to watch Fallon on  Kimmel  saw RHCP perform “These Are The Ways” atop L.A.’s historic  Roosevelt Hotel . Over on  NBC , those who watched Kimmel on Fallon  saw the band perform “Black Summer” from a soundstage in New York.

Meanwhile, in L.A., Red Hot Chili Peppers performed a surprise show at  The Fonda Theatre . That show, the band’s first public performance since 2019, also marked its first concert with Frusciante since August 26th, 2007. At the L.A. show, as with the TV appearances, drummer  Chad Smith  paid tribute to  Taylor Hawkins   with a new drum head bearing the late  Foo Fighters drummer’s name. Smith recently shared a video paying tribute to Hawkins, who died in Colombia last Friday at age 50.

The 12-song show allowed RHCP to offer some live  Unlimited Love  debuts, including “Here Ever After” and “Aquatic Mouth Dance”. Interspersed between those were some of the band’s many classics including “Snow (Hey Oh)”, “Suck My Kiss”, “Can’t Stop”, and more. Following the latter, Frusciante delivered a solo rendition of  Elton John ‘s “Your Song”, the band’s first take on the cover since August 25th, 2001, per  Setlist.fm .

After “By the Way” closed the main set, Red Hot Chili Peppers returned with special guest  George Clinton . Dr. Funkenstein was an early champion of the band, producing its 1985 sophomore LP Freaky Styley . Together, he and frontman  Anthony Kiedis  brought some funk to “Give It Away” to close the show.

Check out some fan-shot videos from the surprise Red Hot Chili Peppers show in L.A. on Friday courtesy of lucid .
