Brooks & Dunn Return To Australia For First Headlining Dates In Nearly 20 Years This Spring

Brooks & Dunn will play two headline dates in Australia after closing out CMC Rocks QLD’s 20th anniversary next March.

Returning to Australia for the first time in 18 years, the Country Music Hall of Famers will bring their show to Sydney’s Afterpay Arena on March 24, and Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on March 27. Ashley McBryde and Mack Geiger will join as support on both dates.

Brooks & Dunn’s long-awaited return to Australia is the latest milestone in a landmark year for the duo, whose music continues to reach new audiences around the globe. Earlier this year, they performed in the U.K. for the first time ever, headlining Europe’s largest country music festival, C2C, and playing to record-breaking crowds in Belfast, Glasgow and London.

This year, the duo is also celebrating the 35th anniversary of their debut album Brand New Man, and the album’s first-ever vinyl pressing arrives Oct. 23, giving fans a new way to experience the record that launched one of country music’s most celebrated careers.
