Now that 2018 is in the bin, it’s time to consider which big-name acts we could (and should!) see perform in Australia in this, the year of our lord 2019.
We’ve recently scored tour announcements from the likes of Eminem and Kylie Minogue (which we were hoping for this time last year), but there are still a ton of acts who are well overdue for a trip down under.
To help get you hyped for the possibilities of the year ahead, peek below to read about 12 massive tours we think Australia deserves to see in 2019 — we’re not being greedy, we’re just trying to think positively.
They’re not in any particular order, and they are definitely just a starting point, so let us know in the comments if we’ve missed any other big ‘uns.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let some of these happen…
12 Massive Music Tours Australia Deserves In 2019
Childish Gambino
Donald Glover was due to bring his Childish Gambino project to Australia in November, but
cancelled the tour due to a foot injury. He
resumed his antipodean trip in New Zealand later that month, but a rescheduled Australian tour was
completely ruled out. His current world tour is expected to be his last under the Gambino name, so let's hope it eventually comes down under. (Photo: Rich Fury / Getty Images)
Metallica
'Tallica last performed down under in 2013, but haven't completed a local headline tour since 2010. In 2018, drummer Lars Ulrich said
the band have "gotta go to Australia" behind latest album
Hardwired… To Self-Destruct, but dates are yet to be announced -- there
was a
fake tour poster, though. (Photo: Tim Mosenfelder / Getty Images)
Beyoncé & JAY-Z
In April 2018, News Corp reported that
a deal was "locked in" to bring Bey and JAY down under in 2018 as part of their co-headline ‘On The Run II’ tour, but it never happened. Maybe 2019 will be our year? (Photo: Kevin Mazur / Getty Images)
Fleetwood Mac
With Crowded House's Neil Finn
now a permanent member of the iconic British-American band, we really need the new-look lineup (and new music) makes its way to Australia (and Finn's native New Zealand) in 2019. (Photo: Kevin Winter / Getty Images)
Gorillaz
It’s been almost nine years since the animated group performed in Australia, and Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's beloved band released their sixth studio album The Now Now in 2018. They haven't brought their last few albums down under yet though, so... Splendour In The Grass 2019, anyone? (Photo: Rodin Eckenroth / Getty Images)
Radiohead
It's been seven years since Thom Yorke and co. graced Australian shores. The band completed a
"little tour" in 2018 to wrap up their travels for latest album
A Moon Shaped Pool, but it didn't include Australia. Hopefully in 2019 everything will be in its right place. (Photo: Jeff Kravitz / Getty Images)
Avenged Sevenfold
A7X
were allegedly in talks to bring their
The Stage album tour to Australia in 2018, but nothing eventuated. They were last in the country for Soundwave Festival in 2014, so they're well due. (Photo: Juan Aguado / Getty Images)
Rihanna
Ri-Ri still hasn't toured down under since 2013, and in that time she's released her 2016 album ANTI and promised a new album to come in 2019. Fingers crossed she uses the new record as an opportunity to return to Australia. (Photo: Lester Cohen / Getty Images)
Thirty Seconds To Mars
Frontman Jared Leto
said the band would "absolutely" tour Australia in 2018, but it never happened. The band last toured Australia in 2014, and released their latest album
America in April 2018. (Photo: Scott Dudelson / Getty Images)
Travis Scott
The
Astroworld rapper isn't new to
promoting himself in the Australian market, and he was last in the country for Listen Out festival in 2016. He hasn't been back since, and hopefully Aussie fans won't have to wait too much longer. (Photo: Timothy Norris / Getty Images)
