Following the sold-out success of her 2025 Kate Ceberano – Australian Made Tour and the chart impact of its live album, Kate Ceberano returns in 2026 with a bold Encore run – recharged, reimagined and moving firmly forward. The 2026 Kate Ceberano – Australian Made Encore Tour delivers a refreshed setlist featuring new additions, expanded arrangements and deeper storytelling, showcasing an artist in full creative flight.
“Last year was an unexpected runaway success,” Ceberano says. “It ended up being the biggest rock move of my career. Coming back to do it again, and push it further, felt irresistible.”
Spanning 30 dates across the UK and Australia, launching in London on 8 August in her first UK performance in over two decades and culminating at the Sydney Opera House, the tour celebrates Australian music through a modern lens, blending iconic anthems with fresh reinterpretations and a fresh energy each night.
Ceberano’s electric delivery of deeply personal stories from behind-the-scenes in the Australian music industry offer concert goers a deep dive into her 40-plus years on the road. Unceasingly candid and unfailingly generous with otherwise unheard tales featuring some of Australia’s most lauded musical icons, the artist is a true troubadour. Her powers of storytelling are only matched by her indomitable musical talent as Ceberano goes from pianist to drummer to oracle and back again in the sweep of a single song.
Joined again by multi-instrumentalist Kathleen Halloran along with blues-rock powerhouse Dusty Lee Stephensen, Ceberano delivers reworked classics from her own catalogue and fellow Australian legends – all infused with her unmistakable energy and emotional punch.
“It’s the same engine, but a different gear,” Ceberano says. “The setlist’s been reworked, stretched and opened up. More stories. More risk. More Australian classics, old and new, and more room to live inside the songs.”
Entering 2026 creatively energised and tour-fit, Ceberano sees the 2026 Kate Ceberano – Australian Made Encore Tour as a statement of momentum rather than reflection. On turning 60 in the final week of the 2026 Tour the artist says “Turning 60 isn’t the headline – the work is. I feel strong, empowered and creatively fired up. Being on stage, meeting audiences, feeling that connection… that’s what drives this tour forward.”
First launched as part of the legendary Australian Made Tour of 1986-87 alongside INXS, Jimmy Barnes and Divinyls, the concept now returns four decades later with a deeply personal edge, celebrating Australia’s musical legacy while continuing to evolve it.
Across the Encore run, audiences can expect powerful performances, new musical moments, candid road stories and the raw, unfiltered joy of live connection, proving that Ceberano’s creative momentum is stronger than ever.
