Australian rock band Powderfinger announced 9 additional Encore concerts on October 30, 2026, expanding its 2027 reunion tour from 26 to 35 shows. The additions bring the tour to Hobart and Canberra and extend its finish to December 11, 2027, at Brisbane Showgrounds.
Billboard said the initial 26 concerts—more than 300,000 tickets—sold out within days. Vocalist Bernard Fanning, speaking for the band, said the extra shows followed the number of fans who missed out on tickets.
