AC/DC Brisbane 2027

Is AC/DC Brisbane 2027 happening? Where things stand

As of 9 October 2026, no Brisbane concert by AC/DC has been announced for 2027. There is no venue, no date and no on-sale time, and anyone selling “tickets” for one right now is selling something that does not exist yet. This page is a watch page: it exists so that the moment a Queensland date appears, you hear about it first.

How do Australian tours usually surface? Most international Rock acts confirm their run here somewhere between six and ten months ahead, through one of the big national promoters — Frontier Touring, Live Nation, TEG Live or Chugg Entertainment. The announcement tends to land on a weekday morning, with the cities listed in one go and a presale only a few days later. Summer, roughly January to March, is the busiest window, because it lines up with Northern Hemisphere winter breaks and the festival circuit.

Brisbane is not always guaranteed a stop. Some routings go Sydney–Melbourne–Perth and leave Queensland out, while others open the whole tour at Boondall. That uncertainty is exactly why an alert beats checking social feeds: sign up below and we will tell you whether Brisbane made the list, and when.

Which venue would suit AC/DC Brisbane 2027?

Brisbane’s venue map is spread out, and the room a promoter picks says a lot about expected demand. For a Rock act of this profile, the likeliest candidates are Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Riverstage and The Fortitude Music Hall.

At the top end, the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall has been the city’s indoor arena since the mid-1980s. It sits in the northern suburbs rather than the CBD, which surprises visitors, but it is still where most arena tours land. Bigger again is Suncorp Stadium at Milton, the old Lang Park, which is used for concerts when a tour is selling in stadium numbers.

In the middle sit the open-air options: the Riverstage, tucked into the City Botanic Gardens beside the river at Gardens Point, and the forecourt events at QPAC on the South Bank side. Both feel very Brisbane on a warm evening and both depend on the weather in a way indoor rooms do not.

For smaller or more intimate tours, Fortitude Valley does the heavy lifting: The Fortitude Music Hall on Brunswick Street, opened in 2019, and the long-running Tivoli near the Bowen Hills end of the Valley. If AC/DC goes for one of these, expect fewer tickets and faster sell-outs.

Getting in early on AC/DC in Brisbane: presale codes explained

“Presale code” sounds like a secret, but in Australia it is usually a published password attached to a particular group: the artist’s mailing list, a promoter’s members, a bank card or a phone provider. Who gets access first depends on the deal behind each tour, and that deal is only revealed with the announcement.

For a typical national run, the sequence looks like this: tour revealed on a weekday morning, an artist presale roughly two days later, a promoter or partner presale the following day, then general public sale. Some tours use a registration system where fans sign up in advance and a unique code is sent to a selection of them. Others simply publish one word that unlocks the presale page on Ticketek or Ticketmaster.

Two Brisbane-specific points are worth knowing. First, Queensland does not use daylight saving, so in summer a “9am AEDT” national presale opens at 8am in Brisbane. Second, the queue for a Brisbane date can move differently from Sydney or Melbourne, since fewer tickets may be on offer.

Signing up below costs nothing. If AC/DC confirms Brisbane, we send the code, the presale window and the start time already converted to Queensland time.

What would tickets cost for AC/DC Brisbane?

There is no official price for AC/DC in Brisbane because there is no show yet. What we can give is a realistic guide based on what comparable Rock tours have charged in Australian venues of similar size. The figures below are indicative only and are filled in from our price model, not from a seller.

• Entry level, rear seats or general admission: around A$79–A$119
• Mid-range reserved seating: about A$119–A$169
• Good lower-tier seats or front standing: roughly A$169–A$219
• Premium, VIP and hospitality packages: A$219–A$279 or more

Booking and handling fees are added on top by Ticketek or Ticketmaster and vary by payment and delivery method, so the amount at checkout will be higher than the headline number. Some tours also use dynamic or “platinum” pricing, which moves with demand.

Avoid paying above face value on unofficial resale sites. Queensland law restricts reselling tickets well above face value for events at major state venues such as Suncorp Stadium, and the safest second-hand option is the official resale or transfer system of the original seller. When the real prices are published, we update this page and alert subscribers.

Getting to and around AC/DC in Brisbane

The arena is built beside Boondall station on Queensland Rail’s Shorncliffe line, which makes the train the obvious choice: board at Central, Roma Street or Fortitude Valley and allow roughly half an hour, then it is a short walk from the platform to the doors. After the show expect a crowd on the platform and extra patience while trains fill. Drivers come in via Sandgate Road or the Gateway Motorway exits and use the paid on-site car parks; leaving after a sold-out night can take a long time. Rideshare pick-up is signposted, but surge pricing is common at curfew.

A few habits make a Brisbane concert night simpler. Allow more time than the map suggests: getting out of a full arena or stadium takes longer than getting in, and platforms at Boondall or Milton fill within minutes of the encore. Some fans eat in the Valley or at South Bank first and travel late to avoid the pre-show crush; others arrive early and leave before the final song, which is never worth it.

Driving is possible but rarely relaxing. The arena at Boondall has its own paid car park that empties slowly, and parking near Suncorp in Milton and Paddington is heavily restricted on event days. Public transport is cheap thanks to the 50-cent fare, and for some major events at Suncorp the ticket also includes TransLink travel — check your ticket conditions when they are published.

If you are travelling from the Gold Coast, remember the trains run from Varsity Lakes and Helensvale into the city, so an evening show is manageable without a car. From the Sunshine Coast, the train goes from Nambour.

And keep an eye on the sky. Summer storms in South East Queensland can be short and heavy, and outdoor venues may pause a show for lightning.

Fans of AC/DC Brisbane should also watch

In Brisbane that means a sweaty Tivoli floor or a big Boondall arena roar, from a city that gave the world The Saints and Powderfinger.

For a Rock act, Brisbane offers a few distinct kinds of night. An arena date at Boondall is a big production with seated tiers and a standing floor. A riverside show in summer has its own mood: daylight fading behind the stage, the city lit up across the water. A Valley hall gig is close, loud and over by the time the bars on Brunswick Street get busy, which is part of the appeal. Australian legs also tend to add local openers, and a Brisbane support slot is sometimes given to an act from the Queensland scene, so doors-time arrivals get a bonus.

We cannot tell you which of those AC/DC will choose, and we will not publish an imagined setlist or support act. When the tour is real, this page will show the confirmed date, the venue, the official on-sale times and, where we can verify them, previous Brisbane shows.
