MARCUS KING BAND | The Forum, Melbourne

GRAMMY-nominated musician Marcus King and his band return to Melbourne for a headline performance at The Forum on Friday 10 April 2026. Known for his commanding vocals, virtuosic guitar playing and heartfelt songwriting, King has become one of the most acclaimed young artists in contemporary roots music.

Following his sold-out 2023 Australian tour and extensive 2025 arena run with Chris Stapleton, King is back with his new record Darling Blue — recorded at the legendary Capricorn Studios with GRAMMY-winning producer Eddie Spear. The album features collaborations with Noah Cyrus, Billy Strings and Kaitlin Butts, further expanding King’s distinctive blend of Southern rock, soul and country.

At The Forum, audiences will experience an evening of soaring vocals, rich arrangements and deeply emotional performances from an artist at the peak of his creative powers. Marcus King Band continues to build on a reputation for delivering unforgettable live shows — this Melbourne concert will be no exception.
