GRAMMY winner Billy Strings will bring his debut shows down under in July!
Raised in Michigan and now based in Nashville, Billy Strings is one of music’s most compelling artists. In the midst of yet another landmark year, Strings released his acclaimed new album, Highway Prayers, in 2024 on Reprise Records. Produced by Strings and Jon Brion (Fiona Apple, Mac Miller), the record debuted at #1 on Billboard’s all-genre Top Album Sales chart – the first time in 22 years that a bluegrass album has been the top-selling album across genres. Continuing to receive overwhelming praise, GQ calls Strings “the hottest roots-music phenomenon in decades,” while Pitchfork declared, “the bluegrass wunderkind expands his palette, exploring new textures and emotional registers while staying true to his beloved genre.”

How do I purchase Accessible Seating tickets?
We’ve updated our seating framework to include a larger range of accessible seating options. There will be an option for every price level and package available.
Accessible tickets (including Companion Cards) can be purchased by calling our Customer Service team on the Accessible Bookings line Monday – Sunday 9am – 5pm AEST: 1300 446 925.

Accessible tickets, both during presales and the general public sale period, can also be requested via our Submit a request – Ticketmaster Help. Please be sure to include your relevant presale code with your request if wanting to make a booking during the presale period.
Will there be a queue in place prior to ticketing going on sale?
We expect that tickets to Billy Strings will be in high demand, and to make the process fair for everyone you may be placed in a queue.
You will be assigned a random place in the queue once the onsale starts. Your place in the queue is not based on what time you entered the Waiting Room. We suggest entering the Waiting Room 15-30 minutes prior to the start of the Presale.
Once you get your spot in the queue, please do not refresh your browser as you will be pushed to the end of the line.
We will get you through the queue as quickly as possible, so please sit tight.
