Sade - A Day on the Green Perth

VENUE CHANGE: Was King's Park, is now The Esplanade

The hottest tour of the US summer is heading for Australia this December.

Timeless and enduring, Sade will perform their first Australian shows in more than 20 years when they make a long overdue and muchawaited return this December for a series of indoor arena and open-air ‘A Day on the Green’ shows. 

The band bears the name of its stylish and enigmatic lead singer, Nigerian-born and UK–raised, Sade Adu.

More than 20 years has passed since Adu, Stuart Matthewman (guitar/saxophone), Andrew Hale (keyboards) and Paul Denman (bass) -- collectively known as Sade -- last gave Australian fans a live taste of their flawless blend of R&B, soul, jazz and soft rock.

Boasting visually stunning production elements the critically acclaimed 2011 world tour follows the 2010 release of Sade's sixth studio album,  ‘Soldier of Love’ (Epic Records), and has become one of the biggest success stories of the US concert business this summer, boasting unanimous critical raves and multiple sell-out shows in the major US cities, having already played to more than 400,000 US fans.

Sade’s classic sound and haunting, unmistakable vocals create an intimate and unforgettable two-hour concert experience, designed by Baz  Halphin (Pink, Tina Turner, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift), and set to the stunning visuals of creative director Sophie Muller. 
The more than two-hour long, spell-binding set list takes fans on a journey through a collection of timeless hits; from the iconic ‘Smooth Operator’, ‘The Sweetest Taboo’, ‘Your Love is King’ and ‘Is it a Crime?’ through to ‘Soldier of Love’.

The live show features a “jumbo-sized LED screen projecting videos and dazzling imagery behind [Sade] Adu and the eight other musicians onstage achieve a breathtaking atmosphere!” according to Billboard magazine.
