What to know before you go

Check the door time listed by the official ticket seller. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to clear security and reach your section.
Security check: most venues prohibit professional cameras, large bags and outside food. Check the venue's official policy before traveling.
Bring the same payment card or QR code you used at checkout. Some venues no longer print physical tickets — phone screen is enough.
Dress for the genre and the weather — outdoor shows can get cold after sunset. Comfortable shoes for standing-only sections.

What to expect

This is date 3 of the 6 that Primus has scheduled in our catalog through December 2026. There are 3 dates in Australia. The previous stop is Glenorchy (December 11) and the next one is Auckland (December 20).

The GoAllConcerts take

Primus closes out 2026 with six dates in three countries: three in Australia, one in New Zealand and two in Oakland. The band formed in 1984 and has nine studio albums, from Tales From the Punchbowl in 1995 to The Desaturating Seven in 2017, so the catalogue easily fills a long, varied set. The venues make the tour worth a look. Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne and Spark Arena in Auckland are arenas, while the Fox Theater in Oakland hosts two nights in a row, on 31 December 2026 and 1 January 2027. This run suits longtime fans of progressive rock and alternative metal, and anyone who wants to watch Les Claypool play live. When buying, pick between the two Oakland nights early. Anyone travelling to Australia can link North Adelaide, Glenorchy and Melbourne within a few days.
