NOVA Entertainment has announced that global superstars OneRepublic will return to the iconic Nova’s Red Room in 2026, performing at Liberty Hall in Sydney on Monday, 9 February.
The GRAMMY-nominated US band, led by singer-songwriter Ryan Tedder, alongside guitarists Zach Filkins and Drew Brown, keys player Brian Willett, bassist and cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher, first performed on the Nova’s Red Room stage in 2019 at Melbourne’s Hotel Esplanade.
Over five years later, they’re back to give Australian fans a very special opportunity to experience their hits intimate and live in one of the country’s best live music settings.
This intimate performance aligns with OneRepublic’s Sweet Escape tour, which will see the band headline five arena dates: Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney on February 6; HOTA Outdoors, Gold Coast on February 11; Riverstage, Brisbane on February 12; Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Melbourne on February 15; and RAC Arena, Perth on February 18.
This exclusive Nova’s Red Room performance is made possible with the support of Live Nation, who are helping bring OneRepublic’s Sweet Escape tour to Australian audiences. Tickets for the national tour are available now via Live Nation.
Nova Network’s group programming director, Brendan Taylor, said, “For a global band of OneRepublic’s scale to return to Nova’s Red Room says everything about the experience. It’s one of the most exclusive stages in the world, and these shows give fans a chance to see music legends in a way no arena can replicate. Having OneRepublic back is a huge testament to the magic of Nova’s Red Room.”
Listeners can win their invites for this exclusive Nova’s Red Room event by registering via the Nova Player or listening to Nova’s Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel on weeknights from 4pm.
