Australian pop queen, Tina Arena returns to the stage in 2025 with an encore of the 'Don't Ask Again' tour.
Fresh from wrapping up a four-date outdoor concert run on Monday at Sydney Opera House Forecourt, which we described as: 'It was an honour to commemorate an album that forged the Australian pop landscape,' Tina will headline concerts in Perth, Sydney, Penrith, Newcastle, Melbourne, Cairns, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Adelaide next April-May.The run of shows continues Tina's 30th anniversary celebrations of her breakthrough album, 1994's 'Don’t Ask'. It would be a record that propelled the former 'Young Talent Time' performer onto an international stage.
With such instant gems as 'Chains', 'Wasn't It Good', and 'Sorrento Moon (I Remember)', 'Don't Ask' also features deeper cuts like 'Show Me Heaven', 'Message', 'That's The Way A Woman Feels' and 'Be A Man'.
The #1 Australian album was nominated for ten ARIA Awards (in 1995-1996), winning five including Album Of The Year. Tina promises an intimate yet electrifying live experience.
"My musical journey over the past 30 years has been a wild and beautiful ride," Tina says. "I'm so grateful I still get to do what I love after all this time. Hold on tight kids because there's so much more to come."
The 'Don't Ask Again' tour will see Tina and her world-class band bring her 'Don't Ask' hits to life (as well as her other classics like 'Burn', and hopefully 'I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You' and her cover of Foreigner's 'I Want To Know What Love Is') on a tour designed to captivate audiences young and old.
In addition, 'Chains' has been selected as one of ten extraordinary audio recordings illustrating Australia's cultural and political life and environment added to the National Film & Sound Archive's unique Sounds of Australia collection. The National Film and Sound Archive collects sound recordings for inclusion in Australia's audiovisual archive, creating a continuous record of Australian culture.
So find out why we declared 'Tina Arena is classy, elegant and an incredible voice' at her recent Opera House concert when she tours in 2025.
Tickets on sale from 10am (local time) on 13 December.
