Canadian rock icons The Tea Party are heading back to Australia in February 2026 to celebrate an incredible 35 years together, with a run of shows unlike anything they’ve ever done before.
Dubbed the Elements Tour, the band will split their sets into two distinct styles:
The Tea Party – ‘Heaven Coming Down’
- Fire shows in Thirroul, Brisbane and Adelaide will deliver the raw, three-piece power fans know and love.
- Wind shows in Melbourne and Sydney will see The Tea Party team up with full symphony orchestras – Orchestra Victoria at Hamer Hall and The Metropolitan Orchestra at the Sydney Opera House – for a dramatic symphonic reimagining of their classics
Fans can expect career-spanning hits, reworked favourites, and a celebration of the band’s enduring legacy — from Splendor Solis through to Triptych and beyond.
Formed in 1989, Jeff Martin, Stuart Chatwood and Jeff Burrows have spent decades blending rock with world music, electronica, and cinematic textures, carving a reputation as one of Canada’s most adventurous exports. With over 3 million albums sold and a devoted global fanbase, their live shows remain as ambitious and unpredictable as ever.
