The Australian Open is serving up more than just tennis in 2026, with the return of AO Live bringing an unbeatable mix of sport and music back to Melbourne Park. Running across five massive nights, the only Grand Slam music series in the world returns bigger than ever, featuring global stars including The Kid LAROI, Peggy Gou, Spacey Jane, Sofi Tukker, and The Veronicas, with more acts still to be announced.

AO Live kicks off on Wednesday, 28th January with chart-topper The Kid LAROI, whose fusion of hip-hop, pop, and emotional songwriting has seen him rise to global superstardom. On Thursday, 29th January, ARIA winners Spacey Jane hit the stage with their fan-favourite indie rock anthems, followed by a high-energy Friday featuring a double headline from The Veronicas and GRAMMY-nominated dance duo Sofi Tukker on 30th January.

Capping off the week, Peggy Gou will close out AO Live on Sunday, 1st February, bringing her genre-blending techno and house sound to the John Cain Arena. Saturday’s artist is still under wraps, but will follow an afternoon of live music before the AO Women’s Final that evening. The AO Men’s Final will follow Peggy Gou’s performance on Sunday, making it a weekend of champions both on and off the court.

Presented by Untitled Group, the team behind Beyond The Valley and Pitch Music & Arts, AO Live 2026 will also feature acoustic performances in Garden Square and daily DJ sets across Grand Slam Oval. With tickets starting from $99, fans gain access to both the Australian Open tennis action and world-class live music, making it one of the best-value entertainment offerings of the summer. Tickets go on sale Tuesday, 14th October.
