Beabadoobee sets first arena run for Australia
Beabadoobee Ignites the Outback on the Powerlines Tour
The indie-pop phenomenon Beabadoobee is gearing up for an electrifying run across Australia, set to bring her massive The Powerlines Tour to the east coast in early 2027. This tour is not just a collection of concerts; it’s a celebration of a deeply personal creative moment, offering fans a chance to dive into the raw, evolving sound of an artist navigating new emotional territory.
Beabadoobee, the Filipino-British talent, will hit major arenas in March, marking some of her biggest venue appearances yet in these regions. Fans can prepare for the sonic journey as she takes the stage at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on March 15, the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on March 18, and the Afterpay Arena in Sydney on March 20. These dates position the tour perfectly as a launchpad for her latest musical direction.
This highly anticipated tour is built around her forthcoming fourth studio album, Pylon, which is set to be released on September 18th. The music driving the tour is a sonic shift, described as “louder, angstier, and grittier” than anything she has explored previously, hinting at a more visceral and intense artistic voice.
The new, 14-track collection, Pylon, delves into themes of isolation and connection, a concept beautifully reflected in the album’s namesake: the steel electricity towers, or pylons, which remind the artist of her connections to home while grappling with feelings of disconnection on the road.
The setlist for the tour promises a nostalgic yet intense mix, drawing from across her career. Expect powerful performances of hits like Is How Tomorrow Move, the moody textures of Beatopia, and the catchy hooks of Fake It Flowers. Alongside these familiar tracks, Beabadoobee will introduce new material, including recently released songs such as “Sun Has Set,” “Switchblade,” and “Memories,” which have already garnered buzz from performances at festivals like Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
The album Pylon showcases Beabadoobee’s willingness to collaborate with a stellar lineup of musicians. The tracklist features high-profile contributions from artists like Hayley Williams, who sings on “Nothing To Prove,” and Brendan Yates from Turnstile on “Powerlines.” The project also features input from a diverse group including Evan Stephens Hall (Pinegrove), Chino Moreno (Deftones), and production assistance from Dirty Hit labelmates Matty Healy and George Daniel of The 1975.
This confluence of talent reflects the ambitious scope of Pylon, making it a true collaborative statement. As Beabadoobee embarks on this tour, she is not just performing songs; she is delivering a statement about modern experience, channeling the vast energy of her music through the iconic landscape of Australia.
