Why Jon Stevens Is Touring the Classics in 2026
The 2026 tour pairs Stevens’ solo catalogue with the songbooks of Noiseworks and INXS — a strategic move that leans into the nostalgia circuit, a reality he embraces with a tight live band. According to Canberra Southern Cross Club, the setlist targets audience favourites like “Take Me Back,” “New […] Stevens doesn’t just run through the hits — he frames them within his own story, between his work with Noiseworks and his stint fronting INXS from 2002 to 2012. […]

A typical Jon Stevens 2026 show runs roughly two hours, split between the raw energy of Noiseworks tracks and the polished hooks of INXS. The setlist is built around contrast: the gritty funk of “Touch” sits beside the anthemic sweep of “Never Tear Us Apart,” while solo material like “No Lies” adds a more introspective moment (via Setlist.fm).
- Noiseworks core: “Take Me Back,” “Touch,” “Hot Chilli Woman,” “No Lies”
- INXS covers: “New Sensation,” “Don’t Change,” “Never Tear Us Apart”
- Stage banter: Frequent between-song storytelling about his time in both bands (per Countrytown)
Bottom line: Expect a crowd-pleasing set that leans heavier on Noiseworks originals than on INXS karaoke, with enough solo tracks to show his range.
The most notable caveat comes from Canberra Southern Cross Club: the 21 June show is standing-only, which means no […] That’s a key detail if you prefer sitting for a two-hour rock show.

- 19 June 2026: Newcastle at The Station (per TryBooking).

The Wellington listing is particularly detailed — Ticketek New Zealand lists support at 7:30 pm, Jon Stevens at 8:30 pm, […]
Bottom line: Early June through late September is packed with high-profile dates, but the 2.5-month gap mid-tour hints that more announcements are likely — set alerts on Ticketek and Oztix to catch […]
The confirmed facts: Jon Stevens was born on 8 October 1961 and is a New Zealander by birth, though his career has been deeply rooted in Australia.

Jon Stevens has a daughter whose name is not publicly confirmed. […]
Bottom line: Trust the tour dates and setlist claims — they’re confirmed by ticketing sources. […]
In interviews, he’s cited a desire to perform his own material again — the Noiseworks catalog — as the primary motivation. […]
