Oprah Winfrey, Queen Of Daytime TV, Returns To Australia For First Time In A Decade

When it comes to Oprah, the queen of the talk show, the best events are part sermon, part spectacle and part soul-reset. And—after a decade away—Oprah is bringing her uniquely culty cocktail of confession, charisma and capital-T Truth back to Australia. And yes, we’re absolutely here for it (and you should be too).

Oprah’s 2025 tour will take her to Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, marking her first Australian visit in ten years. For fans who’ve grown up watching her unlock traumas, launch careers, bless living rooms and catapult books onto the world stage, this is the ultimate pilgrimage. This is the moment. This is, frankly, the Super Soul Bowl.

Here’s everything you need to know to plan your night.

When Is Oprah In Australia?

Oprah arrives in early December for a whirlwind visit running 4–11 December 2025. Each city gets just a single night—a classic Oprah move that all but guarantees a national frenzy as fans race to secure their seat at her sermon. Whether you’ve followed her since the ‘90s or you’ve recently fallen down the Oprah–adjacent rabbit hole of wellness podcasts and spiritual memoirs, this tour is shaping up to be one of the must-see events of the year.

Oprah In Conversation: What To Expect

Hosted by beloved Australian media icon Melissa Doyle, Oprah In Conversation: Presented by Lilly offers a rare, intimate window into the woman who fundamentally reshaped what a talk show could be. Oprah isn’t just a television host—she’s a cultural force, a global tastemaker and the original architect of the modern wellness era. For over 25 years, she turned living rooms into sanctuaries, transforming stories of trauma, reinvention, purpose and resilience into a kind of collective cultural therapy. Her interviews became canon, her Book Club could turn debut authors into international overnight sensations, and her ability to make millions of strangers feel personally seen remains unmatched.

In Australia, the affection borders on mythic—from her blockbuster 2010 visit to her sold-out 2015 tour—which makes this decade-in-the-making return feel even more significant. Across each city, audiences can expect a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation that blends confessional storytelling with Oprah’s signature soul-centred insight. She’ll reflect on authenticity in a hyper-online world, the role of resilience in times of uncertainty and what it means to live deliberately when life insists on reinvention. Expect behind-the-scenes stories from The Oprah Winfrey Show, reflections on leadership and purpose, and the kind of distilled life wisdom that tends to ripple outward for weeks afterwards. The tone is intimate, warm, affirming—part masterclass, part memoir, part fireside chat — except the fire is metaphorical and the glow is unmistakably Oprah.

In December 2025, Oprah will touch down in Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne for four special, one-night-only events—a short, sharp, deeply Oprah-esque sweep across Australia.

How To Get Tickets To See Oprah

https://fave.co/3Mcsojbhttps://fave.co/3Mcsojb are expected to disappear faster than a Book Club pick from airport shelves. To boost your chances:

• Check your city’s official venue site or authorised ticketing partners
• Sign up for ticket alerts early
• Avoid shady resale sites. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Seats are limited, each show runs only once, and the cult of Oprah is large and devoted. Plan ahead.

Getting To Each Venue

• Sydney – TikTok Entertainment Centre, Darling Harbour

Arrive via light rail, train to Town Hall or an easy walk from Barangaroo. The area gets busy on event nights—allow time for queues and the pre-show buzz.

• Adelaide – Entertainment Centre Arena

Trams run directly from the CBD to the door. On-site parking is available, though public transport tends to be the smoother choice on major event nights.

• Brisbane – Convention & Exhibition Centre

Located in South Bank, it’s easily accessed by train (South Brisbane Station), buses and riverside paths. There are plenty of pre-show food options if you're making a night of it.

• Melbourne – MCEC Plenary

Catch a tram down Clarendon Street or arrive via Southern Cross Station. The precinct fills up quickly—consider arriving early or grabbing a drink nearby.
