Six60 to headline Melbournes Live At The Gardens series on Nov. 27
Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens will host a night of shimmering pop‑rock as Six60 takes the stage on Friday, November 27, 2026. The band’s return to Melbourne marks its first headline performance in the city in several years, and it comes amid a growing line‑up of high‑profile acts for the 2026 Live At The Gardens concert series.
Tickets for the event open to the general public on August 12, with a 24‑hour presale beginning at 11:00 am on August 10. The official price is $119.90 plus a $5.95 handling fee per transaction. Fans can secure seats for the one‑night show that promises a blend of the band’s newest material and long‑running favorites.
A key attraction for the night is the inclusion of Australian indie‑rock group South Summit as special guests. The Perth‑based quintet earned a spot on the charts with their debut album The Bliss, which peaked at No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart, and followed it up with Run It Back, which reached No. 3.
Six60’s setlist is expected to feature tracks from their latest studio release, Right Here Right Now, including singles such as “We Made It” and “Endlessly.” The band will also revisit live staples like “Don’t Forget Your Roots,” “Someone To Be Around,” and “Only To Be.” Frontman Matiu Walters said the group was excited to return to Melbourne, noting the city’s strong fan base.
The 2026 Live At The Gardens series is a partnership between MG Live and the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. The series has become a staple of the city’s outdoor concert calendar, staging performances in the gardens during November and December. The inaugural 2024 series featured international and Australian acts such as Franz Ferdinand, Róisín Murphy, and Tash Sultana.
Six60 has a long history of touring Australia. The New Zealand‑based pop‑rock band, formed in 2008, has dominated New Zealand charts and stadiums for more than a decade. In 2019, the group became the first New Zealand band to play a sold‑out concert at Western Springs Stadium, drawing 50,000 fans. Their 2021 performance at Auckland’s Eden Park Stadium also attracted a crowd of 50,000.
The Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, a 38‑hectare site established in 1846, is a heritage‑listed venue that hosts a variety of cultural events. Its lush setting provides a unique backdrop for live music, and the 2026 Live At The Gardens series has positioned the gardens as a key destination for outdoor concerts.
Tickets for Six60’s Melbourne show are priced at $119.90 plus a $5.95 handling fee per transaction. The presale will run for 24 hours from 11:00 am on August 10, followed by general‑public sales on August 12 at the same time. The event is scheduled for November 27, 2026, and no additional dates have been announced.
The concert is part of Six60’s ongoing tour that supports Right Here Right Now. The band remains one of New Zealand’s biggest live attractions, having recently performed to approximately 40,000 people at the opening of One New Zealand Stadium in Christchurch.
Overall, the November 27 performance brings a high‑profile New Zealand act back to Melbourne’s premier outdoor venue, offering fans a chance to experience Six60’s blend of pop, rock, and soul in a historic setting.
