International singing star LeAnn Rimes will begin her first Australian concert tour in over two decades this September with a performance at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall.
Tour Dates and Venues
The upcoming tour marks Rimes’ first time performing in Australia since 2003 and only her second tour Down Under ever. Following the Brisbane show on Thursday, 11 September, the tour will continue with performances at the ICC Sydney Theatre in Sydney on Saturday, 13 September, and Melbourne’s John Cain Arena on Tuesday, 16 September. This tour offers the first chance for Australian audiences to hear live performances of songs from her two most recent albums, alongside her well-known hits.
Celebrating a Three-Decade Career
The tour celebrates Rimes’ extensive 30-year career in music. Known for crossing genres from country to pop, she is expected to perform various songs reflecting her versatile musical journey. Rimes achieved global fame with hits like “How Do I Live,” which broke chart records, and “Can’t Fight the Moonlight.”
She has sold over 48 million records worldwide and earned numerous awards, including two Grammy Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards, and several Country Music Association honours. She first gained major recognition when she won the Grammy for “Best New Artist” at age 14, becoming the youngest person to receive that award. Her influence is noted by other major artists such as Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves.
Supporting Acts Confirmed
Joining Rimes on her Australian dates will be the musical duo The War And Treaty, composed of Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter. Also opening the shows is Reuben De Melo, who audiences may recognise as the winning contestant coached by Rimes on The Voice Australia in 2024.
