Empire of the Sun Perth 2027: date, venue and tour

Empire of the Sun is confirmed for Saturday 6 March 2027 at RAC Arena. The show is part of Ask That God: Afterlife Tour, and the full list of Perth dates we hold for it reads: Saturday 6 March 2027.

On sale since Friday 18 September 2026. Pre-sales: completed — pre-sales ran on 16 and 17 September 2026.

It is one of the Concert dates already locked into the Perth 2027 calendar, so the usual question of whether the tour reaches the west is settled. For a city that is regularly left off national itineraries, that alone is worth noting: Western Australian fans do not have to price up flights to Adelaide or Melbourne this time, and anyone in the regions can plan a trip to the city around a fixed date.

This page sticks to what has been published. We list the date, the venue and the ticketing details as announced, flag anything that is still provisional, and change the page when the promoter changes something — a new night, a venue upgrade, a revised start time. We never add support acts, set times or prices that have not been released.

If you have not bought yet, the alert below is the simplest way to stay on top of it. It tells you when presale codes circulate, when general sale opens in WA time and whether further seats or extra dates are added once the first allocation has gone. If the show moves or is postponed, you will hear about it from us on the same day.

About the venue for Empire of the Sun Perth 2027

Empire of the Sun plays RAC Arena, one of the rooms Perth relies on for Concert tours. Knowing the venue before you buy is useful here, because the city’s major sites differ a lot: a stadium bowl in Burswood, an arena with a retractable roof on Wellington Street, art-deco and modern theatres in Mount Lawley, Subiaco and the CBD, compact clubs in Northbridge, and outdoor spaces in Fremantle and on the riverfront.

Check the seating map on the official ticketing page rather than relying on general descriptions. Arena and theatre plans change from tour to tour depending on where the stage sits and whether the floor is standing or seated, and some outdoor events in Perth are general admission across the whole site.

RAC Arena sits on Wellington Street at the western edge of the CBD, so you can reach it without a car. Buses from the Perth Busport in the City Link precinct and along Wellington Street drop you within a few minutes of the doors, and City West station on the Fremantle line is a few minutes’ walk west. From Perth station or Perth Underground (trains from Joondalup, Mandurah, Midland, Armadale and the airport line) allow around ten to fifteen minutes on foot along Wellington Street. The free CAT buses that loop the city stop nearby. Parking in surrounding city car parks fills early on show nights and exits slowly afterwards, so public transport is usually the faster way home.

Venue conditions — bag sizes, re-entry, age limits, accessible seating and Companion Card bookings — are set by RAC Arena and the promoter for each event. They are listed with the ticket and are worth reading before the day, especially for outdoor summer shows where sunscreen and water rules can differ from indoor ones. If in doubt, contact the venue before the day rather than at the gate.

Buying tickets for Empire of the Sun Perth 2027

Tickets for Empire of the Sun in Perth are sold through the official ticketing company named for RAC Arena, usually Ticketek or Ticketmaster for major venues in the city and smaller agencies such as Oztix, Moshtix or DICE for some club and outdoor shows. Buy there, not on a marketplace that happens to rank first in a search.

Australian presales follow a familiar order: the artist’s own list, then promoter lists such as My Live Nation or Frontier Touring members, then card and telco programmes like Amex, Telstra Plus or Optus Perks, and finally general sale. Each window has its own start time, and that time is often given in eastern time. In Western Australia, with no daylight saving, that means subtracting two hours in winter and three in summer.

If the show is already on sale, it is still worth watching. Promoters regularly release more seats once the stage layout is final, and Perth often receives a second allocation of floor or side-view tickets closer to the date.

Western Australia has anti-scalping laws that cap resale prices, so a listing far above face value is a warning sign. The alert below sends releases and changes for Empire of the Sun at RAC Arena with links to the official seller only.

What to budget for Empire of the Sun Perth 2027

Exact prices for Empire of the Sun at RAC Arena are set by the promoter and shown at checkout on the official ticketing site. To help you plan, these are indicative ranges seen for similar Concert shows around the country, quoted in Australian dollars without fees.

Most tickets fall somewhere between A$129 and A$179, with the cheapest seats from about A$89 and the best reserved positions approaching A$229. Packages that add early entry, merchandise, a lounge or a meet-and-greet sit higher, from around A$229 up to A$289 and sometimes beyond.

For Perth fans the true cost of the night can be lower than for east-coast fans who travel to a second city, but think about the extras: transport if you are coming in from the outer suburbs or regional WA, dinner before the show, and the price of a drink inside the venue, which is rarely cheap.

Prices rarely fall after release. If a show sells out, wait for official re-releases or the ticketing company’s own resale service, where WA rules limit mark-ups, rather than paying inflated prices elsewhere.

We will tell you if new price levels or extra seats appear.

Planning your night at Empire of the Sun Perth

Getting to RAC Arena is straightforward if you lean on public transport.

RAC Arena sits on Wellington Street at the western edge of the CBD, so you can reach it without a car. Buses from the Perth Busport in the City Link precinct and along Wellington Street drop you within a few minutes of the doors, and City West station on the Fremantle line is a few minutes’ walk west. From Perth station or Perth Underground (trains from Joondalup, Mandurah, Midland, Armadale and the airport line) allow around ten to fifteen minutes on foot along Wellington Street. The free CAT buses that loop the city stop nearby. Parking in surrounding city car parks fills early on show nights and exits slowly afterwards, so public transport is usually the faster way home.

Transperth’s SmartRider works across trains, buses and ferries, and every suburban rail line feeds into either Perth station or Perth Underground, a few minutes’ walk apart. Allow extra time after major events: the platforms at Perth Stadium, Perth and Perth Underground are managed with queues at busy finishes.

Weather matters in a Perth year. Summer shows can follow 35-degree-plus days, and outdoor gates often open in daylight; take a hat and water where allowed and expect the evening to cool once the sea breeze arrives. Autumn is the most comfortable season for outdoor gigs; winter means rain jackets rather than cold.

For dinner beforehand, Northbridge and the Perth CBD suit RAC Arena, the Riverside and Metro City; Beaufort Street is the obvious choice before the Astor; Fremantle’s cafe strip and the Fishing Boat Harbour area work for shows in the port. Book ahead on big nights.

Any change of start time for Empire of the Sun goes out on the alert, together with transport updates for the night.

The live side of Empire of the Sun in Perth

Dance music here likes being outside: summer sets on the Langley Park lawns or the Fremantle Esplanade, once the afternoon heat has eased.

That is the backdrop Empire of the Sun steps into with Ask That God: Afterlife Tour. We do not publish predicted setlists or set times; they are rarely released before the tour starts and can change from city to city. Support acts are confirmed by the promoter and, when they are, appear in the official listing and in our alert.

Single-night Perth stops tend to draw fans from well beyond the metro area, from the South West to the Goldfields, and the crowd often treats the show as an event rather than a regular night out. Arrive early enough to see the support: in Perth it is often a local act, and the city has a strong record of producing bands that go on to tour internationally — Tame Impala, Pond, Karnivool and Spacey Jane all began on Perth stages. Leave some time afterwards too; Northbridge and Fremantle both stay open late on weekends.
