Headout, home to the world’s best real-life experiences, is the global distribution partner of Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) for its Australian-exclusive season of Sting’s The Last Ship.

With a deeply personal score from 17-time Grammy Award winner Sting, The Last Ship is inspired by his upbringing in the shipyards of Wallsend. The musical is a poignant story about identity, resilience, and the ties that bind communities together. Following performances in Amsterdam and Paris, this Australian exclusive will be staged in QPAC’s newly opened Glasshouse Theatre — a landmark cultural moment for Brisbane and Queensland.

Audiences across Australia and the Asia-Pacific have the rare chance to experience Sting’s celebrated work live, featuring Sting himself in the role of Jackie White in each performance. In partnership with QPAC, Headout will spotlight The Last Ship to inbound travellers, further cementing Brisbane’s reputation as a premier cultural destination. Through Headout’s global platform, this exclusive production will also be accessible to audiences around the world.

“The Last Ship exemplifies the kind of bold storytelling the Glasshouse Theatre was built to showcase,” said Rachel Healy, QPAC Chief Executive. “We're thrilled to partner with Headout to share The Last Ship with audiences across Australia and beyond.”

“Sting’s music and this story carry a universality that resonates across generations,” said Varun Khona, Co-founder & CEO at Headout. “We’re excited to help travelers discover and book this exclusive season with the same ease and delight that Headout brings to experiences worldwide.”

Performances of The Last Ship begin April 9, 2025, at the Glasshouse Theatre, QPAC. Tickets are available through Headout and QPAC.
