Melbourne will be the first city to experience Tim Minchin’s highly anticipated Songs The World Will Never Hear tour when it kicks off at the Palais Theatre on 31 October, 2025. The tour celebrates 20 years since Dark Side—the breakthrough show that catapulted the multi-talented performer from cabaret stages to global acclaim.
Fans can expect a night of musical brilliance and razor-sharp storytelling as Minchin revisits three decades of genre-defying work—from comedy anthems to poignant ballads.
“20 years ago, Dark Side took me from tiny cabaret rooms to the West End of London,” Minchin reflects. “I’m the luckiest artist on the planet and I can’t wait to be back touring my home country with a big joyous show, spanning my whole bloody mad career.”
Presales begin April 8 for Vodafone and CommBank Yello customers, with general tickets on sale April 11 via Live Nation. The Melbourne launch will be followed by eight more Australian dates, marking Minchin’s first major tour since 2019’s Back, which drew 130,000 fans worldwide.
For Melburnians who’ve followed Minchin from his early Comedy Festival days to Matilda the Musical fame, this homecoming promises to be an unforgettable night of wit, heart, and virtuosic piano—a fitting tribute to one of Australia’s most daring creative minds.
