Angus & Julia Stone are heading home, with the Sydney-born siblings announcing an Australian tour for February and March 2027 in support of their newly released seventh album, \u2018Karaoke Bar\u2019. The run will launch their latest world tour on home soil, giving Australian audiences the first opportunity to hear the new record live alongside songs drawn from almost two decades together.<\/p>\n

Among the dates is a particularly fitting homecoming. Angus & Julia Stone will play the Sydney Opera House Forecourt on Sunday, February 28, opening the venue\u2019s 2027 Forecourt summer season with a performance beneath the sails and overlooking Sydney Harbour.<\/p>\n

The national tour marks the pair\u2019s first Australian headline run since their sold-out 2024 tour behind \u2018Cape Forestier\u2019. That album subsequently took them around the world, including performances at London\u2019s Royal Albert Hall, L\u2019Olympia in Paris and New York\u2019s Town Hall. This time around, Australia comes first, before the \u2018Karaoke Bar\u2019 tour heads overseas.<\/p>\n

Written and recorded across Greece, France and Australia, \u2018Karaoke Bar\u2019 continues the evolution of a partnership that began long before Angus & Julia Stone became one of Australia\u2019s most successful musical exports. Led by \u2018The Cherry Farm\u2019, the album moves between the intimate songwriting at the heart of their early work and the broader musical palette that has emerged across their later records.<\/p>\n

Their story stretches back to 2007 debut \u2018A Book Like This\u2019, with 2010\u2019s \u2018Down The Way\u2019 providing the breakthrough that carried them far beyond Australia. Its centrepiece, \u2018Big Jet Plane\u2019, topped the triple j Hottest 100 and became their signature song, while \u2018Angus & Julia Stone\u2019, \u2018Snow\u2019 and \u2018Cape Forestier\u2019 continued to expand their international audience. Their catalogue has since passed three billion streams.<\/p>\n

The 2027 Australian shows will draw from across that catalogue as well as introducing \u2018Karaoke Bar\u2019 to the stage. After years spent playing theatres, festivals and concert halls around the world, there is something appropriate about the duo choosing Australia as the starting point for the album\u2019s next life.<\/p>\n

Sydney gets one of the tour\u2019s defining settings. The Opera House Forecourt has the scale of a major outdoor concert while retaining a connection to the city that produced the pair, making the February 28 performance both a stop on the national tour and a significant homecoming.<\/p>\n
