Canadian rock trio The Tea Party will return to Australia in 2026 with a brand-new themed tour, blending orchestral arrangements and rock-driven sets in their Elements tour. Presented by Live Nation, the series will span five dates across the country, offering fans two distinct experiences.
The Elements tour will see symphony shows in Melbourne and Sydney, aligned to wind, and rock performances in Thirroul, Brisbane and Adelaide, themed to fire. Despite the contrasting formats, the band has promised that every show will feature their biggest hits, with classics like ‘Temptation’ certain to make the setlist.
Melbourne audiences will see The Tea Party take the Hamer Hall stage on Friday 6 February 2026, joined by a 50-piece orchestra. The performance promises to give new dimension to the band’s trademark fusion of blues, rock and Middle Eastern influences.
Formed 35 years ago, The Tea Party have sold millions of albums worldwide and collected multiple Juno Award nominations. The lineup of Jeff Martin (vocals, guitar), Stuart Chatwood (bass, multi-instrumentalist) and Jeff Burrows (drums) has remained intact throughout their career. While their last album, The Ocean at the End, was released in 2014, the trio has continued touring internationally, reshaping and reinventing their catalogue along the way.
