Our geographic location can be a tough thing for Australian music fans<\/a>. <\/p>\n Being so far away from North America and Europe<\/a> often means our favourite artists only journey our way once every few years. And when they do make it to our shores, tickets often sell out very fast. <\/p>\n But 2026 is already gearing up to be a belter for music tours. <\/p>\n Ed Sheeran<\/a>, Halsey, Lorde<\/a> and Grace Jones<\/a> are just some of the musicians who will have 2026 concerts here in Australia. <\/p>\n Below, we\u2019ve got all the information about the best musicians who are touring Australia in 2026. <\/p>\n Irish singer-songwriter CMAT(aka Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson) mixes country pop, sharp humour and heartbreak into theatrical, hook-heavy songs.<\/p>\n Bridging country, pop and Americana with songwriting that\u2019s both introspective and radio-ready, Maren Morris won\u2019t be one to miss. Her breakout hit My Church and Grammy-winning The Bones established her as a voice unafraid of emotional vulnerability or genre boundaries.<\/p>\n The Lumineers revitalised folk rock in the 2010s with their hit \u2018Ho Hey\u2019, pairing stomping choruses with intimate narratives. Led by Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites, the band is known for stripped-back instrumentation, poetic lyricism and emotionally charged live performances.<\/p>\n Ed\u2019s rise from busking songwriter to global superstar is rooted in meticulous storytelling and genre fusion. Known for looping-pedal live shows and hits like \u2018Shape of You\u2019, \u2018Thinking Out Loud\u2019 and \u2018Bad Habits\u2019, he moves seamlessly between folk, pop, rap and acoustic ballads.<\/p>\n Lorde\u2019s debut at 16 reshaped pop with its minimalist production and sharp, adolescent introspection. Since Pure Heroine, she has released albums that reflect personal evolution, blending indie pop with alternative, electronic and folk influences.<\/p>\n Lucy Dacus crafts personal, slow-burning indie rock driven by literary lyricism and a commanding vocal presence. A core member of supergroup boygenius, she has earned acclaim for albums exploring queerness, memory, faith and coming of age.<\/p>\n Grace Jones is an era-defining icon whose impact transcends music, fashion and film. Rising to prominence in the late \u201970s and \u201980s, she fused reggae, disco, new wave and art-pop into a sound and visual language that reshaped pop culture.<\/p>\n Halsey\u2019s music blends alt-pop, electronic textures and diaristic storytelling that examines love, identity and self-reinvention. Breaking through with \u2018Badlands\u2019, they evolved into a genre-fluid artist unafraid of concept albums and visual experimentation.<\/p>\n Norwegian duo Smerz (made up of Catharina Stoltenberg and Henriette Motzfeldt) craft experimental pop grounded in club culture, minimalism and eerie vocal harmonies. Their sound merges electronic production with classical influences, resulting in music that feels both intimate and avant-garde.<\/p>\n Geese frontman and 2025 breakout rockstar, Cameron Winter pairs evocative songwriting with mellow, atmospheric production that draws on soul, jazz and indie influences. His music often feels introspective and cinematic, focusing on emotional snapshots. <\/p>\n Basement Jaxx, the British electronic duo of Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe, helped define late-90s and early-2000s dance music with hits like \u2018Where\u2019s Your Head At\u2019 and \u2018Romeo\u2019. Their sound fuses house, funk, R&B and Latin influences, earning Grammy wins and festival-headlining status.<\/p>\n Wellington collective Fat Freddy\u2019s Drop blend dub, soul, reggae and electronic improvisation into expansive, groove-driven tracks. Known for marathon live jams and horn-laden arrangements, they\u2019ve built a cult following across Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n Obongjayar blends spoken-word intensity with soul, afrobeat and experimental production. Born in Nigeria and based in London, he delivers music that\u2019s rhythmically bold and emotionally searching, marked by his distinctive vocal tone.<\/p>\n Mumford & Sons became synonymous with the 2010s folk-rock revival, pairing banjo-driven anthems with earnest lyricism. The band expanded their sound into rock and electronic influences while maintaining a focus on communal live performances.\u00a0<\/p>\n Audrey Hobert is known as a songwriter for Gracie Abrams but in 2025 proved to be an an indie-pop artist in her own right. Rooted in intimate confessional narratives and a warm vocal tone, her music captures transitional moments with clarity and tenderness.<\/p>\n![\"CMAT\"](\"https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/12\/cmat-6951d12904e33.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&resize=1500%2C1000\")
