Loudon Wainwright III is heading back on tour, and it's been nearly two decades in the making.
The Grammy-winning hitmaker will return to Australia and New Zealand in February 2027 for the first time in almost 20 years for a seven-date tour. The trek will stop in Auckland, Wellington, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth. Wainwright announced the news to fans on July 16 on social media.
Tickets for the highly anticipated upcoming tour are going on sale soon, with a presale starting on Wednesday, July 22, at 11 a.m. local time. The general sale starts at the same time on Friday, July 24.
For fans in the region, the upcoming shows offer a rare chance to catch one of folk music's most respected songwriters in an intimate theater setting. Considering he hasn't visited the area to perform in almost two decades, anyone eager to catch a show from Wainwright should try to get tickets to one of these seven stops.
Some fans of Wainwright shared their excitement about the 2027 tour in the comments on his Instagram post. One simply wrote, "OMG." Others said, "Loudon! The Australian crawl! Wish i could be there," and "Thank you thank you thank you for coming to Perth!"

The last time Wainwright performed in Australia was back in 2008. He went on an extensive tour of the country, performing with his daughter, fellow musician Lucy Wainwright Roche. Fans of the folk icon have been eager to welcome him back to the region for a long time now.
Wainwright first broke out in the music industry in the 1970s. His only major chart hit was 1972's "Dead Skunk," which was a single from his record called Album III. While the song was originally released in 1972, it didn't find success on music charts until the next year, when it peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100.
