Tina Arena is returning in 2025 to treat Australia to a nationwide encore tour of one of the country’s highest-selling albums.

Arena is using her forthcoming tour as a “love letter to [her] loyal fans who have embraced her as a national treasure”.

Following the major success of four recent outdoor shows in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney, the iconic singer will celebrate the 30th anniversary of her second album, Don’t Ask, at several more shows next year.

Next year’s ‘Don’t Ask Again’ tour will stop in Perth, Sydney, Penrith, Newcastle, Melbourne, Cairns, Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Adelaide (see full dates below).  She will be joined by Australian idol winner Dylan Wright.

Pre-sale opens on Thursday, December 12th at 10am local time. General tickets then go on sale on Friday, December 13th at the same time. Tickets are available from www.tinaarena.com

The incredible vocalist will be performing hits from across her extensive back catalogue on the tour.

The National Film and Sound Archive (NSFA) just added her nationally treasured song “Chains” to their Sounds of Australia collection. The collection archives recordings of cultural and historic relevance that illustrate Australian life. “Chains” earned Arena several ARIA Awards. She re-released “Chains” in 2015, featuring Jessica Mauboy and The Veronicas, and again in 2024 for its 30th anniversary with Melbourne dance duo SHOUSE.

Last year saw Arena give a stirring call to action for artists during her powerful speech at the 2023 Shure Rolling Stone Australia Awards.

Arena was also honoured at the ceremony with the first-ever Rolling Stone Icon Award, and later performed a stunning duet of “Chains” with Best New Artist winner Budjerah.
