Darren Criss Announces Five-Stop Australian Tour

Darren Criss is set to bring a series of concerts to Australia in September.

The performer will bring his own four-piece band to Adelaide, Melbourne, Hobart, Canberra and Sydney to perform the hits he’s become known for throughout his career, spanning everything from “Glee” to Broadway.

“Glee” is where Criss first came to prominence, playing Blaine Anderson. From there, he’s been in hits ranging from  “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” to the Broadway production “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”, where he replaced Daniel Radcliffe.

His expansive career has seen him win awards including at the Emmys, Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards.

He’s also released music, with his debut EP “Human” debuting at the top of the Billboard Heatseeker chart. His follow-up EP, “Homework” reached No. 7 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart.

Of his return to Australia, Criss said: “My first show in Australia in 2018 was so much fun and I am looking forward to coming back with my friends and seeing more of the country. We are taking things up a notch for this tour and I can’t wait to see everyone.”

Michael Cassel, who brought Criss to Australia in 2018 and is producing his national tour, said: “Darren is a consummate showman and his last concert here sold out in eight minutes resulting in many angry phone calls from his fans to the office. Well, good things come to those who wait and now we are bringing him back for a series of shows all over the country, so no one will have to miss out.”

Darren Criss live hits the Adelaide Festival Centre on Sept. 3, Canberra Theatre Centre on Sept. 4, Hamer Hall in Melbourne on Sept. 5, Theatre Royal Hobart on Sept. 7, and wraps up in Sydney’s City Recital Hall on Sept. 11.

Darren Criss Returns to Australia for Five-City Tour

Emmy, Golden Globe, Critics Choice and Screen Actors Guild award-winner Darren Criss will make a triumphant return to Australia this year for a series of spectacular concerts.

A multi-faceted artist with a career spanning television, film, music and stage, Criss will perform the hits of his career from Glee to Broadway and more at shows in Adelaide, Melbourne, Tasmania, Canberra and Sydney in September with his own four-piece band.

Criss shot to fame playing Blaine Anderson on TV phenomenon Glee before his searing performance as spree killer Andrew Cunanan in Ryan Murphy’s award-winning true crime series The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.

On Broadway, Criss replaced Daniel Radcliffe in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, winning the Broadway.com award for favourite replacement for his portrayal of J. Pierrepont Finch, and in 2015 took over the title role in Hedwig and The Angry Inch. Criss returned to Broadway in 2022 to star opposite Laurence Fishburne and Sam Rockwell in David Mamet’s Tony Award-nominated play American Buffalo.

His debut EP Human debuted at the top of the Billboard Heat seekers chart while his follow up EP, Homework, reached No.7 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart. 2021 saw Criss release his third EP, Masquerade, and his debut full-length Christmas album A Very Darren Crissmas which turned into a hugely popular US national tour.

In 2009, Criss created the hugely popular group Star Kids while studying at the University of Michigan. The group shot to fame through the cult hit A Very Potter Musical.

Of his return to Australia, Criss:

My first show in Australia in 2018 was so much fun and I am looking forward to coming back with my friends and seeing more of the country. We are taking things up a notch for this tour and I can’t wait to see everyone.

Michael Cassel, who brought Darren to Australia in 2018 and is producing his national Tour:

Darren is a consummate showman and his last concert here sold out in eight minutes resulting in many angry phone calls from his fans to the office. Well, good things come to those who wait and now we are bringing him back for a series of shows all over the country, so no one will have to miss out.

He stepped into Daniel Radcliffe’s shoes in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying , earning the Broadway.com award for favorite replacement as J. Pierrepont Finch. Then, in 2015, he took over the lead role in Hedwig and The Angry Inch . Not to mention his 2022 Broadway appearance alongside Laurence Fishburne and Sam Rockwell in David Mamet’s Tony Award-nominated play American Buffalo .

Music is also in his bones – his debut EP Human soared to the top of the Billboard Heatseekers chart, followed by Homework at No.7 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart. Last year, Criss unleashed his third EP, Masquerade, and his heartwarming Christmas album A Very Darren Crissmas , which turned into a massive US national tour.

In 2009, Criss created the hugely popular group StarKids while studying at the University of Michigan. The group shot to fame through the cult hit  A Very Potter Musical .

The star last performed on our shores back in 2018.
