"After my 50-year career, I'm thrilled to be returning to Australia after 16 years. Some of my exciting tours and lasting memories are from being in Australia and I can't wait to get there again." - Chris de Burgh 

Over the course of five decades, Chris has achieved worldwide album sales in excess of 45 million, performed almost 4,000 concerts globally and, perhaps more remarkably than anything else, continued to make music his way for his loyal followers.  

To celebrate that relationship and his musical longevity, Chris will be releasing a new album, 50, in 2024 and embarking on a solo tour throughout Europe, United Kingdom and Australia in 2025.
