Australian music legend Tina Arena today announces she will be launching the second stage of her Don’t Ask…Again tour in 2025. It will be an encore performance of her recent highly successful four date tour that wrapped with a performance at the Sydney Opera House on 9 December.

The Don’t Ask…Again tour will kick off in Perth on 27 April, followed by 10 more shows across the country before the 12th and final show in Adelaide on 30 May. Pre-sale tickets are available from 10am 12 December, with general public tickets available from 10am 13 May. Tickets available here

The tour is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Arena’s massive 1994 album Don’t Ask, which hit number one in Australia, number 11 in the UK and also charted in the US. The album went on to earn five ARIA Awards and sold over 2 million copies worldwide.

The album spawned the international hit single ‘Chains’, a top 10 hit in Australia and the UK and a top 40 hit in the US, and today it is announced ‘Chains’ has been selected as one of ten extraordinary audio recordings illustrating Australia’s cultural and political life to be added the National Film & Sound Archive’s Sounds of Australia collection.

More than a concert, the Don’t Ask…Again tour is a love letter to Tina’s loyal fans who have supported her throughout her remarkable career. With Arena’s superlative voice, and a catalogue bursting at the seams of much loved hits, it promises to be a beguiling evening and an event not to be missed.
