    Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual Tour of Australia

    Iconic singer Cyndi Lauper returns to Australia to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of her groundbreaking album with a nationwide tour of Australia. During the tour, which will commence on August 29 in Melbourne, Cyndi Lauper will perform the record-setting album She’s So Unusual in its entirety.
    Tour dates are as follows; Melbourne on August 29 and 30 and then travels to Canberra on August 31, Hobart on September 2, Adelaide on September 4, Sydney on September 6 & 7, Gold Coast on September 10, Brisbane on September 11 and Wollongong on September 14.
    Recorded and released in 1983, She’s So Unusual, Lauper’s debut solo album, is a colorful portrait of a unique and multifaceted talent. The album features some of Lauper’s most well-known songs and perennial radio favorites including “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” “Time After Time,” “She Bop,” “Money Changes Everything,” and “All Through the Night.” She’s So Unusual made Lauper a household name and also cemented her place in musical history as the first female artist to have four top 10 singles on a debut album. The release went on to sell over 16 million copies worldwide and won Lauper a Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
    “It’s been such an amazing year for me,” said Cyndi Lauper. “When I realized it’s also the anniversary of the album that started my solo career, I knew it was the perfect time to thank my fans for sticking with me through it all. I’m so excited to perform She’s So Unusual from beginning to end, song by song and I can’t wait to see everyone!”
    For thirty years, Cyndi Lauper has been dazzling—and surprising—her fans all over the world. A multi-talented artist and one of music’s most beloved icons, she has racked up global record sales of over 50 million (and 14 Grammy nominations) and has won countless awards, from a Grammy and an Emmy to numerous honors for her tireless activism through her True Colors Fund. 
    Lauper has released 11 studio albums, with her most recent, the Grammy nominated Memphis Blues, ruling the Billboard Blues chart for 14 consecutive weeks to become the best-selling Blues album of 2010. Overall, during her storied music career, Lauper has been nominated for 14 Grammy Awards, 2 American Music Awards, 7 American Video Awards and 18 MTV Awards.

    Royals Visit Australia: Prince George May Visit Australia Next Year as Prince William Says Royal Baby Is 'Loud But Good-Looking'

    Prince William Says the New Family will be Visiting Australia Next Year
    While mingling with the crowd at Anglesey county fair, William told visiting Australian couple Max and Maxine Davies, from Victor Harbor, south of Adelaide, that the new family hope to travel to Australia soon.
    "George is doing really well, thank you,” he said, according to UK media reports. "We are all very hopefully coming to Australia next year."

    The couple’s son, Mark Davies, said it was his mother’s second brush with royalty.

    “She actually met Prince Charles, I think it was back in 1969. It was while she was on another holiday over in the UK.”

    “It’s all pretty exciting, especially for mum who’s a fanatical royalist.”

    Mr Davies said his parents, retired farmers who moved from Naracoorte to Victor Harbor in 2004, were about a week into a two-month trip of Britain and Europe that included visiting family near Manchester, a trip to Spain and a Mediterranean cruise.

    “I haven’t heard from them just yet, but I imagine they’re just as thrilled about it as everyone over here seems to be,” the Naracoorte resident said.

    Victor Harbor Bowling Club member Bill Aldridge, who plays with Max Davies, hopes his fellow player’s conversation with Prince William was enough to convince him to visit Victor Harbor while in Australia.
    “We’d love him to come down to our new bowling green,” he said.

    “It would definitely lift the spirits in Victor Harbor and create a bit of a buzz having royalty around, although I know the chances are pretty slim.”

    The trip would echo Prince William’s trip to Australia as a baby with Princess Diana and Prince Charles in 1983, when he was less than a year old.

    William also opened up on parenthood, telling the crowd that baby Prince George is "loud but good looking".
    "Catherine in sorry that she cannot be here today at the County Show," William said in his speech, before chatting with locals, inspecting livestock and participating in a falconry display.

    The Boss Bruce Springsteen Set to Return to Australia in Early 2014


    BRUCE Springsteen may be returning to Australia as early as next year.

    Radio station Triple M last night posted a news item on their website which appears to to suggest The Boss will tour in February and March 2014.

    The item was swiftly taken down, however an eager Bruce Springsteen fansite posted screengrabs of the item online, sparking rumours and sending Boss enthusiasts into a frenzy


    Though yet to be confirmed by Springsteen's management or Australian promoters Frontier, the item suggested the 2014 visit will be a full national tour.

    A possible 2014 tour would come after just an East Coast visit this year which angered fans in Perth and Adelaide.


    The leak has The Boss playing dates in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, the Hunter Valley and Brisbane.

    The rumoured Melbourne venue is AAMI Park, which has only been used as a concert by the Foo Fighters in the past.

    It also claimed iconic band Hunters and Collectors would reform to support The Boss at the Melbourne concert.
    Springsteen's Australian tour this March sold over 150,000 tickets and grossed over $25 million.

    Beyonce Headed Back to Australia - Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth


    Beyonce Knowles, the pop megastar who dazzled a global audience of 104 million viewers during this year's Superbowl, has confirmed she will bring her Mrs Carter Show world tour to Australia in October and November.

    Knowles, 32, who has been one of the world's best-selling pop artists for over a decade and is reputedly worth more than $300m, plays Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena first on October 22, before heading to Brisbane (October 28), Sydney’s Allphones Arena (October 31), Adelaide (November 5) and Perth (November 8).

    She is due in Vancouver on November 30, so the schedule allows plenty of room for extra Australian shows to be added.
    She last played here in 2009 and had a daughter, Blue Ivy Carter last year with her rap mogul husband Jay-Z.

    The announcement means most of the main contenders for the fiercely-contested title 'Queen of Pop' will have toured Australia in the second half of 2013, bar Lady Gaga. 

    Pink is on tour now, Rihanna comes in September and Taylor Swift in December.
    Known for her fierce onstage persona and big voice, Beyonce will wow crowds with glittering costumes, high energy dancing and visual effects including pyrotechnics and wire work.


    Beyonce’s ticket prices range from $99.90 to $249.90 with pre-sales beginning on Wednesday for members of Beyonce’s BeyHive blog (beyonce.com).

    General sales open 10am on Friday, July 19 via ticketek.com.au and the promoter’s website, livenation.com.au
