Australia’s finest musical comedy export, Tim Minchin, will play a one-off concert on the Forecourt of the Sydney Opera House in February.

It’ll be Minchin’s first show on home soil in nearly three years, after his 2012 orchestra tour and Homebake appearance, and his only appearance Down Under in 2015. Like any musical genius, Minchin has spent the intervening time being generally awesome, writing the music and lyrics for the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Matilda The Musical, as well as continuing his acting career.

Minchin’s Sydney Opera House apperance will be part of the inaugural, week-long On The Steps series.

Minchin plays the Sydney Opera House on Monday Feburary 23. Tickets go on sale 10am Friday December 5, but a Live Nation presale kicks off 10am Tuesday December 2.
