Hobart is set for a major run of live music, with three high-profile acts announcing shows at MyState Bank Arena.
Pop star Delta Goodrem, US rock band Queens of the Stone Age and Australian favourites The Cat Empire will all headline shows in the Tasmanian capital, with concerts scheduled across late 2026 and into 2027.
Goodrem will bring her PURE World Tour to MyState Bank Arena on April 26 next year, riding the wave of her fourth-place finish at Eurovision where she performed her single Eclipse.
She announced the world tour on stage at a show in Sydney on Tuesday, saying it would blend fan favourites with new music from her upcoming album PURE.
“I can’t wait to fill these incredible rooms with love, singalongs and the power of music bringing us together at exactly the right moment,” Goodrem said.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on Monday, July 20, with fan pre-sales beginning on Thursday.
US rock band Queens of the Stone Age will play MyState Bank Arena on Friday, December 11 as part of a seven-show tour across Australia and New Zealand.
The band will be joined by fellow US rock group Primus, with the tour marking Queens of the Stone Age’s first Tasmanian show since 2024.
Pre-sale tickets will be available from Thursday through Live Nation.
Australian band The Cat Empire will return to Tasmania on September 25 for a second collaboration with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.
Following their 2024 performance, the band will again reimagine its catalogue with orchestral arrangements, with flamenco artists Arte Kanela joining the lineup.
Tickets are on sale now.
