Tickets on sale 1pm Tuesday 3 February.
One of country music’s most electric forces, Koe Wetzel, heads back to Australia this May.
A Texas tornado who collides country with rock, hip-hop and even Nineties grunge, Koe Wetzel is a live performer as chaotic as he is charismatic. His shows are unpredictable, explosive, and packed with the kind of raw magnetism that’s earned him a fiercely loyal global following.
After leaving a serious mark on Australian fans with his penultimate slot at CMC Rocks QLD 2025, Koe Wetzel’s return promises to be more unforgettable than ever.
With his defining fifth studio album, 9 Lives, Wetzel earned recognition on several major year-end best-of lists, including Rolling Stone, Billboard, the Tennessean and more, with the Los Angeles Times naming lead single “High Road” (feat. Jessie Murph) as the No. 8 best song of 2024 across all genres. The single not only marked Wetzel’s debut at Country radio, it also held the No. 1 spot for five weeks, was named the most-played song for all of 2025 by Country Aircheck/Mediabase and became his fastest song to reach the RIAA Platinum milestone to date.
To date, Wetzel has 4.2 billion total streams and has created a genuine experience with his live concerts, which he describes as “total chaos.” In 2025 alone, he sold more than 250,000 headline tickets while also supporting dates with Morgan Wallen and HARDY.
Playing prominent festivals over the summer, Wetzel opened for Morgan Wallen on the superstar’s One Night at a Time Stadium Tour in Texas, while also headlining his own Damn Near Normal World Tour which resulted in a 13-track live album “Live From the Damn Near Normal Tour” in 2025.
With new single “Time Goes On” arriving soon and a collaboration with Corey Kent on “Rocky Mountain Low” released at the end of 2025, there’s much more in store for Koe Wetzel, as the Texan brings his dynamic blend of raw energy, lyrical depth and Southern charm back to Australia this May. Don’t miss these must-see shows.
