Lionel Richie returns to Australia for the first time in 20 years, and is coming to Perth!
The Cure kick of their Australian tour in Perth on Saturday 4 August, by performing at Challenge Stadium.
The humongous Spring tour is an opportunity for literally hundreds of thousands of Aussie fans to partake in what will be a huge event in every location it visits. Most regional centres on the expansive itinerary won’t have seen a rock & roll show like this since tours by the likes of Midnight Oil and INXS in the 1980s.
Headed for Australia for the first time in 27 years are Black Sabbath, for their Heaven & Hell Tour: The Dio Years. They’ll perform at Challenge Stadium on Thursday 2 August 2007.
