KATE CEBERANO ANNOUNCES NEW SYDNEY VENUE FOR AUSTRALIAN MADE TOUR
Night at the Barracks – 14 September
THURSDAY MAY 15th, 2025
The venue for Kate Ceberano’s new Sydney show – part of her upcoming 2025 Australian Made Tour – has been announced today as the Barracks Precinct in Manly, part of Night At The Barracks this September.
The multi-ARIA-winning icon has added four major city venues to an epic run after the original 22 regional shows set the box office alight. The Australian Made Sydney show is set for September 14th at the Barracks.
Pre-sale to the new Sydney show is from 9am tomorrow, Friday May 16th with general public on-sale from 9am on May 21st. Tickets will be available from https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/event/250062A9D7532114
Mahalia Barnes and Gypsy Lee will join Kate as special guests for the Australian Made Barracks show only.
Launching her fifth decade as a performer, the Australian Made Tour is a tribute to Ceberano’s musical legacy, blending highlights from her own platinum catalogue with some of Australia’s most iconic anthems: a heartfelt tribute to the songs and artists that have helped shape and inspire her extraordinary career.
From her own band I’m Talking to Divinyls, Models, INXS, Mentals, Jimmy Barnes, Sia, Icehouse, Silverchair, John Farnham, Australian Crawl, Bernard Fanning, Jimmy Little, The Church, Renee Geyer, Paul Kelly and more, Kate is preparing to bring her own magnetic spin to the great Australian songbook.
“It’s so important for me to express my culture, my Australia, in song,” Kate says. “This tour is a love letter to the artists, bands, audiences, and storytellers I’ve travelled with over this vast continent for four decades. It’s a deep dive into what makes me an Australian artist: my hungry heart holding their words to my chest, making them the soundtrack to my life.”
The tour’s title harks back to Kate’s breakthrough moment: at just 20 years old, she performed as part of the original Australian Made tour of 1986/87, sharing stages with INXS, Jimmy Barnes, Models, Mentals and Divinyls. Nearly four decades later, she returns to the concept with a fresh perspective, delivering an experience rich with storytelling, rock’n’roll mythology, and the untamed energy that defined an era before smartphones and social media.
Touring with Kate on 25 stops (not including Mundi Mundi) are two powerhouse musicians at the vanguard of Australian music. Harts is a multi-instrumentalist virtuoso who famously jammed with Prince at Paisley Park en route to three albums of psychedelic invention. On her first national tour, the prodigiously talented rock guitarist and singer Kathleen Halloran continues to forge a formidable reputation with her acclaimed second single Find Me Again. Together this dynamic line-up will take audiences on a journey through time, seamlessly blending eras and influences to present a vast panorama of Australian music in evolution.

2025 BIOGRAPHY // Kate Ceberano
Kate Ceberano has forged a unique presence among the true legends of Australian music in a career spanning five decades: a commanding personality, an electrifying performer and a peerless voice that defies time, fashion and genre.
Her 11 platinum and 8 gold albums, 10 Top 10 albums, 15 Top 40 singles, 3 Countdown awards, 5 ARIA awards from 20 nominations (9 for Best Female Artist) and more than 6,000 live performances only begin to attest to her unassailable impact on the Australian stage.
In 2025, Kate’s Australian Made Tour builds on the momentum of two sold-out national tours — the epic orchestral My Life Is A Symphony in 2023, Superstars Live with Jon Stevens in 2024 — to celebrate her own platinum catalogue alongside classic Australian songs that helped shape and inspire her extraordinary career.
It was the original Australian Made tour of 1986 with INXS, Jimmy Barnes, Divinyls, Models and more that first brought Kate’s jaw-dropping voice to national attention on the heels of Bear Witness, the platinum debut by her early band I’m Talking.
Her vast subsequent legacy includes a record-breaking run with John Farnham in Jesus Christ Superstar, a triple platinum solo pop debut, Brave, a platinum jazz album, You’ve Always Got The Blues, her 2014 induction into the Australian Songwriters’ Hall of Fame and countless triumphs spanning jazz, pop, rock and beyond. Her acclaim as an exhibiting painter has just begun, while her second memoir, UNSUNG: A Compendium of Creativity, landed in ’23.
Singer, songwriter, author, artist and spokeswoman for generations of self-empowered artists defining their own ground on their own terms, Kate is a force of nature, Australian entertainment royalty and a bona fide national treasure.
