Matt Mathews brings his Not What I Ordered World Tour to Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on Saturday 16 January 2027. The venue lists separate sessions at 16:00 and 20:00, with detailed running times still to be announced.

Family chaos and life on the farm

The new programme draws on family, relationships, farm mishaps and the gap between expectations and everyday life. Mathews brings personal stories and small-town experiences to this first Australian visit. The announced Australian itinerary includes Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, with the Palais hosting the Melbourne performances.

Two sessions with separate tickets

Follow the Palais Theatre’s official links to Ticketmaster and choose the session you want. Compare seat categories, prices and any fees before confirming the order; availability can change. Accessible tickets must be arranged through the ticket seller’s accessibility hotline or form. Check age conditions and the eventual doors and performance schedule before finalising your plans.

Practical details for the Palais

The venue is beside Luna Park, at Lower Esplanade and Cavell Street in St Kilda. Seating is reserved and the theatre accepts card payments rather than cash. This event is scheduled to be professionally filmed, recorded or photographed; ask staff if you need more information about that arrangement. Audience video, audio recording and professional photography are not permitted unless the promoter announces an exception.
