The Perimenopop Tour was the debut Australian and New Zealand concert tour by English singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor, held in February 2026 in support of her album Perimenopop. The tour included headline performances in New Zealand, followed by dates in Australia. ^[1]

Background

In late 2025, Sophie Ellis-Bextor announced the release of her eighth studio album, Perimenopop, and began performing new material as part of its promotional cycle. In September 2025, Sophie Ellis-Bextor announced a series of headline tour dates across Australia in February 2026, with the Australian leg scheduled to begin at the Forum in Melbourne on 6 February 2026, followed by shows in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. ^[2] Around the same time, it was confirmed that Ellis-Bextor would also perform in New Zealand in early February 2026, with shows scheduled at the Waikato Regional Theatre in Hamilton on 3 February and at the James Hay Theatre in Christchurch on 4 February. ^[3]

The Australian and New Zealand shows were promoted as energetic live performances showcasing Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s disco-pop repertoire and celebrating her Perimenopop album, bringing her glossy dance-floor classics and new material to audiences in the region, and a return to international touring outside Europe and the United Kingdom. ^{[4] [5]}
