Train will return to Australia in May 2027 for the Drops of Jupiter: 25 Years In The Atmosphere Tour, bringing Barenaked Ladies as special guests for shows in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Queensland.
Train will tour Australia in May 2027, marking the 25th anniversary of their breakthrough album Drops of Jupiter with Barenaked Ladies as special guests.
The multi-Grammy Award-winning American band will play four dates under the banner Drops of Jupiter: 25 Years In The Atmosphere Tour. The run opens in Perth on Sunday 2 May at Perth HPC, continues to Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena on Wednesday 5 May, then Sydney’s TikTok Entertainment Centre on Friday 7 May, before finishing at Sandstone Point Hotel on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast on Saturday 8 May.
Barenaked Ladies join Train for the Australian leg. The Canadian band’s appearance marks their first Australian tour in more than 25 years. The Sandstone Point show adds local support from Boy & Bear, Kate Miller-Heidke, Busby Marou and Kiani Jazz.
Fans can register now at destroyalllines.com/tours/train-2027 for early access. An early bird presale begins Tuesday 17 November at 9am local time, with general tickets going on sale Thursday 19 November at 9am local time.
The tour centres on the 2001 album that delivered Train’s double Grammy-winning title track “Drops of Jupiter”. That song has since reached RIAA diamond status. The set is also expected to feature other catalogue staples including the diamond-certified “Hey, Soul Sister” and the multi-platinum “Drive By”, alongside material from a career that has produced more than 10 million albums and 30 million tracks sold worldwide.
Train formed in San Francisco in the early 1990s with Pat Monahan as the constant core member. The group broke through with their self-titled debut and “Meet Virginia”, then reached a new commercial peak with Drops of Jupiter. After a late-2000s hiatus they returned strongly with Save Me, San Francisco and the global hit “Hey, Soul Sister”. Subsequent albums including California 37, Bulletproof Picasso, a girl a bottle a boat, AM Gold and the 2026 release Mad Dog in the Fog have kept the band active on the road and in the studio.
Barenaked Ladies formed in Scarborough, Ontario, in 1988 and built a reputation for sharp songwriting, vocal harmony and energetic live shows. Hits such as “If I Had $1,000,000”, “One Week”, “Pinch Me” and the theme for The Big Bang Theory remain staples of their catalogue. The current lineup of Ed Robertson, Jim Creeggan, Tyler Stewart and Kevin Hearn continues to tour and record, most recently with the 2023 album In Flight and new singles in 2026.
The pairing places two bands with long histories of radio-friendly rock and strong live followings on the same bill. For Australian audiences it offers a chance to hear both catalogues in theatres and outdoor settings across four cities.
