Australian rock band Powderfinger has announced plans to add more concerts to its 2027 reunion tour after selling out all 26 originally scheduled dates. The group reported that more than 300,000 tickets were purchased for the initial run of shows. This demand has surpassed the ticket sales recorded during the band's 2010 farewell tour, which concluded nearly 17 years ago.
Powderfinger formed in the 1990s and became one of Australia's most successful rock acts. The band is known for hits including My Happiness, These Days, and Sunsets. The reunion tour marks the group's return to stages across the country after a long hiatus. Frontman Bernard Fanning and his bandmates confirmed the sellout status in a statement to fans.
The initial 2027 tour schedule includes performances in Brisbane, Cairns, Perth, Sydney, Adelaide, and Melbourne. Many fans were unable to secure tickets during the initial sales window. In response to the high demand, the band pledged to announce additional performances in selected cities.
Specific dates and ticketing details for the extra concerts have not yet been confirmed. The band has not released a full list of the new cities or the number of additional shows planned. The next step in the tour's development is the official announcement of these new performance dates.
The reunion tour is the band's first major live appearance in nearly two decades. The original farewell tour in 2010 marked the end of their previous touring cycle. The current ticket sales indicate continued strong support from the audience. The band will continue to update fans as the tour schedule expands.
