OneRepublic will make their highly anticipated return to Australia and New Zealand in February 2026, bringing their The Sweet Escape Tour to arenas and outdoor venues across the region. Joining them as special guest is Swedish pop star Zara Larsson, marking her long-awaited debut live appearances in both countries.
The tour kicks off at Auckland’s Spark Arena on 4 February, before heading to Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, Gold Coast’s HOTA Outdoors, Brisbane’s Riverstage, Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl, and concluding in Perth at RAC Arena on 18 February.
Led by frontman and prolific hitmaker Ryan Tedder—whose songwriting credits span Beyoncé, Adele and Taylor Swift—OneRepublic have become a global fixture of modern pop since their 2007 debut Dreaming Out Loud, featuring the breakout hit Apologize. Since then, they’ve delivered a consistent run of era-defining singles, from Counting Stars to Secrets, Good Life, and I Ain’t Worried—the latter featuring on the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack and racking up over 3 billion streams.
In 2024, the band released their sixth studio album Artificial Paradise, a sleek, collaborative effort that includes the singles Hurt, Sink or Swim, and I Don’t Wanna Wait with David Guetta. Recent additions to their evolving catalogue include Chasing Paradise, a collaboration with Kygo, and Fire, the official anthem of UEFA Euro 2024. With over 5 billion Spotify streams and a genre-spanning discography, OneRepublic continue to deliver stadium-ready anthems with polish and ambition.
Opening for them on the tour is Zara Larsson, whose chart-topping catalogue—featuring hits like Lush Life, Never Forget You, and Symphony—has made her a standout on global charts and radio. Her appearance on this tour marks her first live shows in Australia and New Zealand, adding another level of excitement to an already expansive production.
