Eurovision 2022 winners, Kalush Orchestra, are heading to Australia for a tour in March 2026 with performances in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.


This will be Kalush Orchestra's first tour within Australia.


Kalush Orchestra are a Ukrainian folk-rap group best known for their huge win at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2022 with the song Stefania.



Formed as a side project of rapper Oleh Psiuk’s hip-hop act KALUSH, the group blends traditional Ukrainian folk music, including instruments like the sopilka, with modern rap and electronic beats, creating a sound that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in national heritage.


Their Eurovision winning song Stefania was originally written as a tribute to Psiuk’s mother.


The song took on a much deeper meaning following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, becoming an emotional symbol of resilience, identity, and hope. Competing in Turin under extraordinary circumstances, the group won the Contest with a record-breaking public vote, securing Ukraine’s third Eurovision victory.


Since their win, Kalush Orchestra have remained closely linked to Eurovision’s legacy, frequently appearing at Eurovision-related events and using their platform to advocate for Ukraine on the international stage. Their victory is widely regarded as one of the most culturally and politically significant moments in Eurovision history, highlighting the contest’s ability to amplify voices far beyond music alone.


Their tour takes place half way through their North American tour with dates in Austin and Dallas rescheduled to make their Australian tour workout.
