George Michael Heading Down Under

George Michael is one of those reclusive artists we rarely see on a stage. So it’s thrilling to see him winging his way Down Under next year.

This will be George’s first visit to Oz since 1988. George has put out so much amazing music since then, and he’s sure to play as much of it as he can in these 25 Live greatest hits shows.

“It is thrilling to bring George Michael to Australia again, he toured here on the Faith tour in 1988. He is a consummate performer and will deliver a stunning show to his fans who have waited 22 years to see him perform in Australia,” said promoter Paul Dainty.

George Michael will play Perth’s Members Equity Stadium on February 20 and Sydney’s Football Stadium on February 26. Apparently Melbourne misses out as Etihad Stadium was unavailable. Tickets go on sale on Tuesday 8 December.

I only wish the venues were better. I know the demand is huge, but seeing him perform somewhere as soulless as the Football Stadium just doesn’t have a lot of appeal. I’ve been waiting my entire life for this show, but I’m going to have to think long and hard before spending the insane amount of money he’s sure to command.

    What a list of hits George Michael has. He only has to do a handful of them in concert and it is going to be an awesome show. The pre-sale for tickets has already started, you can buy them from Preferred Seating, Myer one box office and SMH Box Office – very cool

    Does anyone know who the support acts will be for the Aussie tour??

    No announcements yet Nic, but as he didn’t have a support act when he was doing this show in Europe I wouldn’t be surprised if he plays the whole show here too.
