- Replies 2
Musicians and singers hold a significant place in people's hearts for providing soundtracks in their lives.
However, we have seen many of these talents go over the past few months.
Good news is on the horizon for the fans of a seasoned Aussie entertainer as he revealed plans that will mark a new milestone in his illustrious career.
Australia's troubadour and singer-songwriter Paul Kelly announced his first-ever arena tour next year.
The 17-time ARIA Award winner is set to grace the most prominent stages of his decades-spanning journey in the music industry.
The tour will include shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Hobart, Adelaide, Perth, and Melbourne, and New Zealand.
Through this tour, the 69-year-old performer is proof that age is no barrier to rocking the stage.
The tour also coincided with the release of his eagerly anticipated album, Fever Longing Still, to be released on 1 November.
The said album should be a great addition to Kelly's rich discography, as it offers new tales and tunes that could resonate with long-time fans and new audiences.
Paul Kelly's Australian tour will feature the talents of multiple Grammy winner Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, as well as the award-winning Australian country singer-songwriter Fanny Lumsden.
The tour will kick off on 26 August 2025 at RAC Arena in Perth.
He will also hold shows at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Mystate Bank Arena in Hobart, and the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
The Australia tour will conclude at the iconic Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on 6 September 2025.
Kelly will then enchant audiences in Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland, New Zealand.
Tickets for Paul Kelly's tour go on sale on Wednesday, 30 October, at 3 pm local time, through Frontier Touring's website.
Fans who sign up at Frontier Touring's website may access ticket pre-sales on Monday, 28 October.
In a double dose of excitement, fans of Paul Kelly's music may also look forward to the premiere of an original film based on his iconic song, titled How To Make Gravy.
The film adaptation of Kelly's Christmas anthem will be the first original feature film released on the local streaming platform, BINGE.
The song, which has been a staple of Aussie Christmas celebrations since 1996, shares the story of an imprisoned man named Joe as he writes a letter to his family facing their first Christmas without him.
The film, which stars Daniel Henshall as Joe, is set to premiere on 1 December.

Paul Kelly's 'How To Make Gravy' cemented its place in the hearts of Australians as it became an essential part of the holiday season's soundtrack.
While it missed out on the ARIA Song of the Year award in 1997, its legacy endures, and the film should introduce the beloved tale to a new generation of audiences.
