Calvin Harris’ 2027 Tour of Australia Is Already a Record-Smasher

The Scottish DJ's tour of Australia has sold more than 330,000 tickets, a national record for a headline DJ.

Calvin Harris has set a new record with his upcoming tour of Australia, selling more than 330,000 tickets across all shows. The tour, organized by Untitled Group, Full Circle, and Live Nation, features five consecutive nights at The Domain in Sydney, which has seen a staggering 150,000 tickets sold—more than any other headline artist in the venue's history.

Additional shows were added in Sydney and Melbourne due to overwhelming demand, selling out within minutes of going on sale. Harris last performed in Australia in late 2022, and has previously headlined at Festival X, Stereosonic, and the Big Day Out. The tour marks a significant milestone for electronic music in Australia, reflecting the strong appetite for the genre.

Harris holds numerous accolades, including 11 No. 1 singles in the UK and the record for the most U.K. No. 1 singles in the 2010s. His performance in São Paulo in February drew an estimated 1.6 million attendees, a record for a DJ set by a single artist. The tour kicks off in Perth on February 18, with all remaining dates sold out.
