Lucky enough to see the Zorn@60 show here in Adelaide a few years back. Was definitely one of the best shows I've ever seen.

I don't believe he has ever toured Melbourne.

I think the three Zorn related shows at the Adelaide Festival a few years back are the only Oz shows he's done. Sadly I could only get to one of the three nights, but the one I did choose (which was Zorn@60) was great.

Part of an exclusive concert series celebrating maverick composer and icon of New York’s downtown music scene, John Zorn.

A 60th birthday extravaganza that everyone is invited to, featuring vocal performances from lyricists Mike Patton, Jesse Harris and Sofia Rei, the beautiful exotica of The Dreamers, a powerful and spiritual tribute to the Knights Templar by Moonchild, and the wild abandon of Electric Masada. This is a birthday party like no other, an ultimate celebration of John Zorn.

Featuring Jorn Zorn, Cyro Baptista, Joey Baron, Trevor Dunn, Jesse Harris, Illuminations (Trevor Dunn, Stephen Gosling, Kenny Wollesen), Holy Visions (Lisa Bielawa, Abby Fischer, Mellissa Hughes, Jane Sheldon, Kirsten Sollek), Mike Patton, John Medeski, Ikue Mori, Sofia Rei, Marc Ribot, Jamie Saft, Kenny Wollesen, and The Alchemist (performed by members of the Elision Ensemble)

I'm going to have to get out to see John Zorn one of these days. I just finished reading Improvisation: It's Nature and Practice In Music by Derek Bailey and it has a brief interview with John Zorn where he discusses some of his approaches to structured group improvisation and it was pretty interesting.
