American bassist and songwriter Victor Wooten returns to Australia and New Zealand in 2026 with a ten-date run of shows.
The five-time Grammy Award winner will be accompanied by the Wooten Brothers – comprising Victor’s real-life siblings Regi (guitar), Joseph (keyboards) and Roy (drums) – performing songs from a career spanning more than five decades.
The shows also act as a tribute to middle brother Rudy (horn section), who sadly passed away in 2010. The remaining Wooten siblings keep his memory alive with their energetic performances that have received praise from the press.
Victor Wooten and the Wooten Brothers kick off their first Australian tour shows since 2023 in Canberra at Harmonie German Club on Wednesday 4 February.
Wooten and co then hit Sydney’s Metro Theatre (Thursday 5 February), Brisbane’s Princess Theatre (Friday 6 February), Cairns’ Tank Arts Centre (Saturday, February 7), Melbourne’s Memo Music Hall (Sunday 8 February) and Fremantle’s Freo Social (Wednesday 11 February).
