You won’t be catching those post-concert blues for long, besties. A bunch of your faves are hard launching this year’s concert season, and it looks like it’s gonna be banger after banger.
That’s right, we’ll be getting some absolute banger concerts from big names making their way down under soon. So, get ready to start that group chat and plan your big nights out.
If you’re an American Express Card Member and you attend a concert at Rod Laver Arena or Qudos Bank Arena, you can receive a bunch of in-venue benefits with your Card. Starting from when you first arrive, check your non-essential items straight through express cloaking at the cloakroom and then sit back and relax in the American Express Entertainment Lounge, where you’ll have access to a Card Member-only bar and food menu away from the crowds.
Once you’ve had a bite to eat in the Lounge, check out the exclusive offers around the venue, including pre and post show pop-up experiences and activations at selected shows (where you could win prizes including food and drinks vouchers, merch and even concert tickets) subject to availability. Don’t be sad after the show finishes — Amex Express Card Members also have music Pre-Sale access, so you can start planning the next one ASAP.
Here are the biggest acts touring Australia this year that you should get your eyes and ears around.
Dua Lipa
Break out your sequins because the dance-pop queen is returning to Aus in March.
It’ll be her first tour down under since 2022, and since then, she’s gone on to pop up on the Barbie soundtrack and drop her latest album, Radical Optimism, last year.
If you’ve been living under a rock and need a refresher, Dua Lipa blew up with her hit ‘New Rules’ back in 2017. She eventually crowned herself an all-time pop-idol in 2020 with her album Future Nostalgia featuring hits like ‘Levitating’, ‘Physical’ and ‘Don’t Start Now’ (and also just recently got engaged!)
You can catch Dua Lipa in Melbourne on March 17-23 at Rod Laver Arena and 26, 28, 29 in Sydney at Qudos Bank Arena.
Katy Perry
Katy Perry’s back with her first tour in Australia in over six years, and you better believe it’s a hotly-anticipated gig. Wehn playing the AFL Grand Final last year, Katy teased what’s to come for her big show hitting cities this year.
At this point, Katy is essentially Australian royalty, with hits like ‘Hot N Cold’, ‘Roar’ and ‘Dark Horse’ embedded into every millennial and Gen Z’s psyche. Now, with The Lifetimes Tour, you’ll get to hear all of them and more live in person.
You can catch Katy in Sydney from June 9-10 at Qudos Bank Arena and in Melbourne from June 12-14 at Rod Laver Arena.
Gracie Abrams
Gracie Abrams is back to tour her breakout album The Secret of Us (which scored her a fancy Grammy nom).
Gracie’s been around since 2019, but it wasn’t until last year, after supporting Taylor Swift on her Eras tour, that she truly blew up. Throw in an album produced by The National’s Aaron Dessner and you’ve got yourself a solid library of heartfelt tracks. That’s so true.
You can catch Gracie in Sydney on May 2-4 at Qudos Bank Arena and in Melbourne from May 9-11 at Rod Laver Arena.
It’s gonna be an absolutely huge year for pop music stans. As an Amex Card Member, be sure to sign up for Amex Pre-Sale alerts and get the group chat (and ‘fits) sorted.
