Suzi Quatro: Rock Legend's 2026 Australian Tour Announced

Rock icon Suzi Quatro has announced her "Down Under 2026" tour, scheduled for November and December. The legendary singer and bassist will perform a series of headline shows across Australia, with special guests Baby Animals.

These headline dates include stops at Rooty Hill's Coliseum Theatre on Nov. 14, Sydney Opera House on Nov. 15, Hobart's Wrest Point Entertainment Centre on Nov. 18, The Star on the Gold Coast on Nov. 20, Melbourne's Palais Theatre on Dec. 2, and Fremantle Prison on Dec. 6. Quatro will also participate in four Red Hot Summer Tour festival dates in Brisbane, Lake Macquarie, Torquay, and the Barossa Valley, joining a lineup of notable Australian rock artists.

General admission tickets are set to go on sale on Wednesday, August 12, at 10 a.m. local time. This tour extends a musical relationship with Australia that has flourished for over fifty years, beginning with Quatro's teenage performances in the 1960s.

Born in Detroit in 1950, Quatro launched her solo career in England in 1971 after achieving fame with the all-female band the Pleasure Seekers. Her international success peaked in the 1970s with chart-topping hits like "Can the Can," "48 Crash," and "Devil Gate Drive." In the United States, her duet "Stumblin' In" with Chris Norman reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1979. Across her career, Quatro has sold over 55 million records.

Beyond her musical achievements, Quatro gained recognition as Leather Tuscadero on the sitcom "Happy Days." She has also contributed as an author, radio broadcaster, and stage performer, including a role in London's "Annie Get Your Gun." A documentary about her life, "Suzi Q.," was released in 2019. Now 76, Quatro released her latest studio album, "Freedom," in 2026, and continues to tour.
