Zara Larsson Adds Arena Shows & New Zealand Date to 2026 Tour Due to High Demand

Swedish pop star Zara Larsson is expanding her 2026 “Midnight Sun Tour” following a rapid sell-out of initial dates in Australia. Promoter Live Nation confirmed Monday, February 16, that the tour will now include upgraded venues in Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney, as well as a brand new show in Auckland, New Zealand.

Venue Upgrades and New Zealand Debut

The demand for tickets prompted the venue changes. Larsson’s October 20th concert in Perth will move from Perth HPC to RAC Arena. The Melbourne date on October 22nd will shift from Margaret Court Arena to Rod Laver Arena, and the Sydney show on October 23rd will relocate from Hordern Pavilion to Qudos Bank Arena.

Did You Know? Zara Larsson’s “Midnight Sun Tour” marks her debut headline tour of the region at this scale, nearly a decade after her breakout hits “Lush Life” and “Never Forget You.”

Existing ticket holders for the Australian shows will be contacted by Ticketek regarding the updated venue layouts. In addition to the upgrades, Larsson will perform at Spark Arena in Auckland on October 25th, marking her first-ever concert in New Zealand.

Initial Sell-Outs and Tour Momentum

The venue upgrades and new date follow the quick sell-out of initial shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Dates in Brisbane on October 13th and 14th, Sydney on October 15th, Melbourne on October 17th, and Adelaide on October 18th are already sold out.

Expert Insight: The rapid sell-out of these shows and subsequent venue upgrades demonstrate significant demand for Zara Larsson’s live performances in the Australasian region, indicating a strong fanbase and successful tour promotion.

The “Midnight Sun Tour” is part of a larger global tour for Larsson. The Australian and New Zealand dates represent a significant step up in market size for the singer, as she has previously performed in Australia on festival bills and as a support act.
