Del Amitri Melbourne 2027: the confirmed show

Del Amitri is confirmed for Friday 26 February 2027 at Palais Theatre. It is an announced Concert date on the Melbourne calendar, sold through the official ticket seller named by the promoter.

On sale since Thursday 23 July 2026.

All announced Melbourne dates: Friday 26 February 2027. The show is part of Past to Present – Four Decades, and the Melbourne leg sits within a wider Australian run whose other cities are announced by the promoter.

We are an independent guide, not the box office. This page collects what has been officially published about the Melbourne show (date, venue, sale stages, indicative prices and how to get there) and keeps it current. If anything changes, such as an added date, a venue upgrade or a revised start time, we update the page and email everyone signed up for the alert.

Dates on this page are shown in Melbourne local time, which is AEDT during summer and AEST from early April. That matters most for on-sale times rather than the show itself, but it is easy to get wrong when buying from another state or overseas.

Melbourne shows for big touring acts can sell quickly, partly because several major tours compete for the same summer weekends and partly because fans from regional Victoria and Tasmania buy here too. If you have not bought yet, the next sections explain the sale stages, what you are likely to pay and how to plan the night at Palais Theatre.

Presales and on-sale for Del Amitri Melbourne 2027

Each sale stage for Del Amitri at Palais Theatre comes with its own access rule. Here is how they usually differ for a Melbourne show:

• Artist presale: a code sent to the artist’s mailing list. If you signed up before the announcement, look for it in your inbox, including the promotions folder.
• Promoter presale: available to members of the promoter’s own list; it is usually free to join but must be done before the window opens.
• Card presale: eligibility is checked by the card number at checkout, so the card must be used to pay.
• Telco presale: Telstra Plus or Optus Perks customers log in through their provider’s rewards page.
• General sale: open to anyone with a ticketing account.

Sales open at a stated local time, and in summer Melbourne runs on AEDT, one hour ahead of Brisbane and three hours ahead of Perth. Set a reminder for the Melbourne time, not your own, if you are buying from another state.

One practical tip: if you qualify for more than one presale, use the earliest. Allocations are separate, so missing out in one window does not stop you trying again in the next, but the choice of seats shrinks with each stage.

If you missed the stages, the alert below covers releases of extra tickets and any additional Melbourne dates.

How much are Del Amitri Melbourne 2027 tickets?

The honest answer depends on where you want to be in Palais Theatre and when you buy. Based on comparable Melbourne shows, a seat towards the back has usually cost between A$79 and A$149, while a strong reserved seat or a floor position runs from about A$149 to A$219. Packages with extras start higher and can pass A$279. Booking fees are charged on top.

A few habits help keep the cost down. Buy during the presale, when the full range of price levels is open rather than only the dearest seats left on general sale. Compare one section across the seat map instead of assuming the floor is best; at some venues the first rows of the lower tier give a cleaner view for less money. And check whether a second Melbourne date has been added, as the newer date often has better availability at the lower price levels.

If the cheapest tiers have gone, the alert below will tell you when production holds or returned tickets come back at face value. We never sell tickets ourselves, and we do not send people to unofficial resale.

Getting to Palais Theatre for Del Amitri Melbourne 2027

The Palais faces the bay on the Lower Esplanade, beside Luna Park. Tram route 96 from Bourke Street ends at Acland Street, a two-minute walk away, and route 16 runs via St Kilda Road and Fitzroy Street to the same area. From the CBD the ride takes around 25–30 minutes. There is no train station in St Kilda. Street parking is metered and scarce on weekend evenings, particularly in summer when the foreshore is busy. After a late show, trams back to the city run less often, so check the timetable rather than assuming the next one is close.

A few Melbourne-specific points for the night of Del Amitri. Inner-city trams in the CBD and Docklands are free inside the Free Tram Zone, so if you are eating in town first, the short ride to the venue costs nothing. Outside the zone, tap on with myki or the payment method Public Transport Victoria accepts at the time.

Leaving is slower than arriving. At the end of a big show, platforms and tram stops fill within minutes, and staff often hold people back in waves. Waiting a quarter of an hour in a nearby bar or walking to the next station along the line usually gets you home faster. On Friday and Saturday nights the Night Network adds later services, which helps if the encore runs long.

Driving is possible but rarely the best idea. Event parking near the major precincts fills early and costs event prices, and traffic out of the car parks can take longer than the train. If you are coming from regional Victoria, V/Line services arrive at Southern Cross and Flinders Street; check the last train home before you choose between catching it and booking a room.

On the day of Del Amitri Melbourne 2027

Some planning makes the night easier. Your tickets will most likely sit in the ticketing company’s app rather than in a PDF, and many Australian tickets use a rotating barcode that does not work as a screenshot. Log in and check them the day before, especially if a friend transferred them to you.

Then look at the weather, because Melbourne’s is famously changeable. A summer day can top 35 degrees under a hot northerly and then cool sharply when the change comes through in the evening; in autumn and winter, nights are cold and often damp. For an indoor show that mostly affects the trip home. For an open-air venue it decides what you wear and whether you bring a light rain jacket, as umbrellas are often not allowed at outdoor events.

Door times, support acts and set times are usually published by the venue a day or two before. As a rule, doors open around an hour before the first act and the headliner starts later in the evening, but tours vary, so treat the venue’s own timing as the one that counts.

All dates in Melbourne for this tour: Friday 26 February 2027. If you hold tickets to one night, the alert below will still tell you about changes to the others.

What to expect at Del Amitri Melbourne 2027

Rock in Melbourne means worn carpet at the Corner Hotel in Richmond and full volume at the Forum, the city where AC/DC rode a truck down Swanston Street in 1976.

The set for Past to Present – Four Decades is the artist’s own business, and we do not publish predicted setlists. What usually holds for a touring Rock show of this size is a set built around the newest material, with older favourites spaced through it, and a production designed for arenas and big theatres. Melbourne shows on a multi-city run often come after the opening nights elsewhere, so the show is well rehearsed by the time it arrives here.

Support acts are announced separately and can include Australian artists picked for the local leg; it is worth turning up for them. Merch stands open with the doors and are busiest just before the headliner and straight after the show.

For a long show, eat before you arrive; queues at venue food outlets are longest during the changeover between support and headliner, which is also when most people try to reach their seats. Ear plugs are a good idea for anyone near the speakers, and children especially.
