ABC Brisbane 2027: the confirmed date

ABC is confirmed for Saturday 13 March 2027 at The Fortitude Music Hall. This is a confirmed Concert date in Brisbane: the venue and day have been published by the official seller.

On sale since Friday 7 August 2026.

The show is part of The Lexicon of Love Tour 2027. All the Brisbane dates we have verified for this run: Saturday 13 March 2027. If a second or third night appears, it will be added here, and subscribers to the alert hear about it by email the same day.

Why does this matter for Brisbane in particular? International tours do not always include Queensland, and when they do, the city often gets fewer nights than Sydney or Melbourne. A single Brisbane date for a popular New wave / Pop act tends to be the one that sells out first on the Australian leg, simply because supply is lower. Fans from the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba and the Northern Rivers all compete for the same tickets.

Before you buy, check three things on the official listing: the door and start times, the age restrictions (some Brisbane venues run 18+ shows, others are all-ages with conditions), and whether the tickets are mobile-only. We list only information that has been officially published. Anything still missing — support act, set times, extra releases — will be updated as it is announced.

About The Fortitude Music Hall, home of ABC Brisbane 2027

The Brisbane show by ABC is booked at The Fortitude Music Hall. Knowing the room changes how you buy: on a standing floor you are choosing between arriving early or not, while in a seated venue the price tier decides your view.

The hall faces Brunswick Street Mall, a couple of minutes’ walk from Fortitude Valley station, which is served by most Queensland Rail City network lines. That makes it one of the easiest venues in the city to reach by train. Buses along Ann Street and Wickham Street stop nearby. On Friday and Saturday nights the Valley is busy and the safe night precinct rules apply around the mall, so allow time for queues at the door and on the way out. Parking is in commercial car parks around the Valley.

A rough guide to Brisbane rooms. Larger venues such as the Brisbane Entertainment Centre and Suncorp Stadium sell in sections, with floor, lower and upper levels priced differently. The outdoor sites — Riverstage and the South Bank forecourt — are mostly general admission, with the best spots taken by the people who queue. The Valley halls are standing rooms with limited balcony seating, so if you need to sit, check the ticket type carefully before buying.

Accessibility varies between new and heritage buildings. If you need wheelchair-accessible seating, a companion ticket under the Companion Card scheme, or other access arrangements, contact the ticket seller’s accessibility line rather than buying a standard ticket and hoping it can be swapped. Those allocations are limited, and they are usually handled separately from the main on-sale.

We do not publish seating maps we cannot verify; the official one appears on the ticketing page for this Concert event.

Tickets for ABC Brisbane: sale status

On sale since Friday 7 August 2026.

If the show is already on general sale, the main question is what remains. Check the official ticketing page directly rather than relying on screenshots: availability changes during the day as reserved carts expire and returned tickets reappear. When a listing says “sold out”, Brisbane shows sometimes reopen in small releases, especially in the final week as production seats are freed.

If the presales have not opened yet, prepare in advance. Make sure your Ticketek or Ticketmaster account is active, your payment card is saved and you know which presale you qualify for — fan club, promoter, card or telco. Join the online queue a few minutes before opening time; the order is often randomised for those already waiting at the start.

Note the time zone. Queensland does not change its clocks, so between October and April an on-sale advertised for Sydney time opens an hour earlier in Brisbane. Our alert always states Queensland time.

Resale: use the official resale or transfer function of the original seller. Tickets from strangers on social media are a common source of scams around big Concert dates in South East Queensland, and a fake ticket cannot be fixed at the gate.

Price guide for ABC Brisbane

The official seller sets the final prices for ABC at The Fortitude Music Hall, and they can include dynamic pricing. As a planning aid, here is the range we see for comparable New wave / Pop shows in Brisbane rooms of this type:

• Cheapest seats or general admission: about A$79–A$119
• Standard reserved seats: about A$119–A$169
• Best seats or front-of-floor: about A$169–A$219
• VIP and premium packages: from A$219 up to A$279 and beyond

For a single reference figure, a typical mid-venue seat for a show of this kind sits around A$149. Booking fees, card surcharges and delivery charges come on top, and they differ between Ticketek and Ticketmaster. VIP packages vary a great deal: some include early entry or a merchandise item, others a lounge or soundcheck access. Read the inclusions rather than assuming.

Prices on resale platforms are not covered by this guide. In Queensland, reselling tickets far above face value is restricted for events at major state venues, and many tours also cap resale prices through their own official exchange. If a listing looks far too cheap or far too expensive, walk away.

On the night: ABC Brisbane practical guide

The hall faces Brunswick Street Mall, a couple of minutes’ walk from Fortitude Valley station, which is served by most Queensland Rail City network lines. That makes it one of the easiest venues in the city to reach by train. Buses along Ann Street and Wickham Street stop nearby. On Friday and Saturday nights the Valley is busy and the safe night precinct rules apply around the mall, so allow time for queues at the door and on the way out. Parking is in commercial car parks around the Valley.

Timing matters. Doors usually open an hour or more before the support act, and headliners in Australia commonly start between 8.30 and 9pm — but every tour is different, and set times are often only published in the last week. Check the official listing on the day.

The weather is part of a Brisbane concert. In the hotter months, from around November to March, days are humid and storms can build in the afternoon. For outdoor shows, bring a light rain jacket rather than an umbrella, which many venues do not allow, and drink water while queueing. In winter, Brisbane evenings are mild, but an open-air venue by the river can still feel cool after dark.

Plan the trip home before you leave. Trains to and from the city run through Central and Roma Street, the main hubs, and big events often bring extra services, but the last trains on weeknights can be earlier than you expect. Taxi ranks and rideshare pick-up areas near large venues get very busy right after the encore; walking ten minutes away before booking often helps.

Finally, keep your phone charged. Most Brisbane venues now scan mobile tickets at the gate.

What to expect in the room? In Brisbane that means a packed Boondall arena full of glitter and phone lights, with half the crowd driving up from the Gold Coast.

Brisbane has always produced and supported strong live music, from the late-1970s punk of The Saints to the 1990s and 2000s success of Powderfinger and Savage Garden, and today a busy Fortitude Valley circuit. Touring artists know the city as a demanding but rewarding stop, and for ABC on the The Lexicon of Love Tour 2027 tour, The Fortitude Music Hall is the Queensland date of the run.
