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.

Pavement announce 2023 Australian tour

• X (formerly Twitter)

Indie rock royalty Pavement will return to Australia for the first time in 13 years early next year, with eight shows locked in around the country for February and March.

Where to begin with this band? The five albums they released through the 90s remain a high-water mark in the history of indie rock, their slacker sound still replicated by young and old in practice rooms and on stereos to this day.

Their list of enduring indie anthems is endless and every single one of them still sounds just as good today as it did in the 90s. 

The band's 2010 reunion shows in Australia were everything we wanted them to be, as the band played super-sized sets packed with the biggest and most beloved songs from across their highly influential and highly excellent career.

After seeing how triumphantly they returned in their Primavera Sound set earlier this year, we're not expecting these forthcoming shows to be any different.

The setlists on their 2022 dates have had something for everybody, whether you check out after 'Shady Lane', 'Gold Soundz' and 'Stereo', or you're hanging out to hear something from Watery, Domestic , there's very little chance you'll leave disappointed.

Expect the full line-up of Stephen Malkmus, Scott 'Spiral Stairs' Kannberg, Mark Ibold, Bob Nastanovich and Steve West when the band return to Australia for eight shows in the early part of next year.

The tour includes an appearance at the always intriguing MONA FOMA festival, as well as a headline slot at the brand new Geelong festival Tent Pole .

Dates are below. All shows except Brisbane are all ages. Tickets are on sale from Wednesday 21 September. Get excited.

UPDATE: Supports for each show have been announced, with some of the country's finest indie rock bands enlisted for different shows on the tour. 

Check out who is playing where below: 

Wednesday 22 February – Perth Concert Hall (with Pond)

​Friday 24 February – Thebarton Theatre, Adelaide (with Bad//Dreems)

Saturday 25 February – MONA FOMA, Hobart 

Tuesday 28 February – Fortitude Music Hall, Brisbane (with Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever)
