With Eric Church’s brand-new song “On The Road” reflecting on his storied career through the memories that stay with him, the 11-time GRAMMY nominee proves there are still new memories to be made with today’s announcement that he will make his long-awaited Australian headline debut in March 2027.

Joined by special guest Parker McCollum, also making his debut down under, Church will take the stage at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on March 13 and Afterpay Arena in Sydney on March 16, before heading north to headline CMC Rocks QLD’s 20th Birthday celebration on March 20.

“Australia, we heard you, and we’re on our way,” Church shares. “It’s been a long time coming, and we’re damn excited to finally bring this show to you. We’re gonna pack as much as we can into these nights, so come early, stay late and let’s make up for lost time.”

As always, Church Choir members will have first access to arena show tickets, with presales beginning this Wednesday 30 September at 11am local time ahead of tickets going on sale to the general public on Thursday 1 October from 12pm local time via EricChurch.com and frontiertouring.com/ericchurch.

The highly anticipated arrival has been years in the making, with Church having been on CMC Rocks’ “bucket list for almost twenty years,” according to Festival Director Jeremy Dylan. “We are certain the Chief will raise the proverbial roof with his legendary live show,” Dylan said following the festival’s 2027 lineup announcement.

Church will also join as special guest on Kenny Chesney’s recently announced all-stadium Original Vibe Room Tour 2027, kicking off at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium on April 24 and running through Aug. 28 at Foxboro’s Gillette Stadium.
