INXS Melbourne 2027

There is no INXS Melbourne 2027 concert. The band stopped touring in November 2012, announcing the decision at its final show in Perth, and has not played or recorded as a group since. Singer Michael Hutchence died in 1997. This page explains the verified position as of 9 October 2026 and how our free alert can keep you informed.

INXS Melbourne 2027: the current position

INXS has no Melbourne concert in 2027 and no tour of any kind. The decision dates back to 11 November 2012, when the band told the crowd at Perth Arena that it was playing its final show. Since then there have been no reunion tours and no new studio recordings.

It is also worth being clear about the line-up. The voice of INXS, Michael Hutchence, died in Sydney on 22 November 1997. The group carried on afterwards with guest singers and later new frontmen, but the 2012 announcement drew a line under live work altogether. Nothing announced in 2026 suggests that will change, so a Melbourne date in 2027 is not realistic. Tickets offered for an INXS show in the city should be treated as unofficial; tribute acts performing the songs are a different thing and are usually billed clearly as such.

INXS Melbourne 2027: remembering the band's Victorian years

Melbourne was a fixture on INXS's Australian tours throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the decades in which albums like Listen Like Thieves, Kick and X made the Sydney-formed band one of the biggest acts in the world. We have chosen not to name individual historic Melbourne venues because we could not verify the details, and we would rather say less than say something wrong.

For Melbourne fans the story now lives on screen and on record. The two-part television miniseries INXS: Never Tear Us Apart, first broadcast in February 2014, sparked a wave of renewed interest in the catalogue, and the 2019 documentary Mystify offered a close portrait of Hutchence himself. Those, together with the albums, are the way to revisit INXS in 2027.
