It's official: Parcels are coming back to Sydney for their 2025 Australian tour
Re-listening to the first studio album from Byron-born five-piece Parcels, you'll be transported back to a simpler world. The self-titled Parcels was released in late 2018, and it soundtracked a divinely beautiful Aussie summer: before the bushfires of Black Summer filled our skies with smoke, and the global pandemic changed the world as we know it. The band's textured, 70s-inspired sound gained them a global network of dedicated fans, and has taken them around the world, with headline shows in the world's biggest cities, as well as festival appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza and Glastonbury (to name a few). After making Berlin their base for the past few years, the Australian golden boys are coming home – announcing three major dates for their 2025 homecoming tour.
When is Parcels playing in Sydney?
On Saturday, December 6 2025, Parcels will bring their funky, melodic breed of joyful soft rock to the Opera House forecourt. The announcement is the first to drop from this year's On The Steps series, which featured Aussie icons including Troye Sivan, Missy Higgins and Crowded House in 2024.
When do Parcels tickets go on sale?
General release tickets for the Parcels Sydney show go on sale at 12pm Sydney time on Tuesday, April 29. Cancel your lunch date – you'll find tickets via the Live Nation website.
Is there a pre-sale for Parcels' Sydney show?
Three pre-sales (one from Live Nation, one for Sydney Opera House Insiders and one via the band's Popshop link listed on their Instagram) will kick off on Monday, April 28 at 11am, running until 11am the following day.
How much are Parcels tickets?
Tickets for the Sydney Opera House show start at $109.90 plus booking fee.
Where else will Parcels play Australia in 2025?
According to their Instagram, they'll be kicking off their Aussie tour at Brisbane's Riverstage on Friday, November 28, before heading to Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl for a single show on Thursday, December 4 2025. As it stands, they'll be rounding out their Australian tour with their Sydney Opera House show on Saturday, December 6, but we suspect there are more shows yet to be announced. With a very solid Byron fanbase, it would be criminal for Parcels not to perform on home turf in the Northern Rivers, and we've got our fingers crossed for an appearance at Meredith – we'll keep you posted.
