Ziggy Alberts Brings Twin Flames to Frankston's Pier Bandroom

Ziggy Alberts has never really needed a major label to make things happen, and his 2027 Australian tour is proof of that. After a year away from world touring, the Byron Bay-raised singer-songwriter is coming back with something new: his seventh studio album, Twin Flames, and a run of dates that deliberately returns to the regional towns and coastal communities that first embraced him. Frankston's Pier Bandroom is on that list, and it's a fitting one.

The numbers around Alberts are genuinely staggering for someone who built his career without a label behind him. Over a billion streams, ten Platinum singles, two Gold albums, Gold certifications in Canada and New Zealand, three APRA Awards, and a sold-out show at London's Royal Albert Hall. In 2025 alone he played to more than 100,000 people around the globe. The busking-on-the-streets-of-Byron origin story feels almost mythological at this point, but it's real, and it's what gives his music its particular warmth.

Twin Flames is billed as Alberts pushing into new sonic territory, something a little more fearless than what came before. The album's rollout was unusually intimate: fans around the world dialled into a global hotline on vintage rotary phones, heard the songs early, and voted on the singles. Those two tracks, 'I Need My Woman' and 'I Blame Myself', were chosen by the people who would eventually fill the venues. Alberts even called fans back after they left messages. The whole exercise reads like a genuine attempt to close the gap between artist and audience, and it has clearly landed.

Live, the Frankston show will be the first chance local fans get to hear the Twin Flames material in full, alongside the crowd-pleasers that have become proper singalong moments over the years: 'Laps Around The Sun', 'Runaway', 'Days In The Sun'. His shows have always had a communal, campfire quality to them, and the relatively intimate scale of Pier Bandroom suits that feeling well.

The Pier Bandroom sits right on the Frankston foreshore and has become a reliable stop for touring acts heading through the Peninsula corridor. Worth noting before you book: the venue is accessible only via stairs and cannot accommodate wheelchair access due to its structural layout.

The show is 18-plus, presented by Commonfolk, and tickets are on sale now through Oztix.
