British-Irish singer, songwriter and musician Chris de Burgh has announced his 50LO Tour is coming to Australia in 2025. Melburnians can catch him at Hamer Hall on Thursday 1 May 2025.
The tour is in celebration of his career milestone of half a century as a recording artist. The tour is currently weaving its way through Europe, with extensive dates in the United Kingdom before de Burgh returns to our shores in May 2025.
In a statement, de Burgh said: “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.”
When Chris de Burgh signed his first recording contract in 1974 and his debut album, Far beyond These Castle Walls, was released by A&M Records that same year, Chris did not look beyond the immediate future.
“As I held a copy of that record in my hands, I had absolutely no idea that this would even go any further,” he recalls.
“I was incredibly naive about the music business but I was full of hope and dreams and, spectacularly, my dreams not only came true, they came truer than true. I had no concept that I was going to last as long as this. Fifty years? Wow!”
Known for his romantic ballads and storytelling style, de Burgh rose to fame in the late 1970s and 1980s, particularly with his hits “Lady in Red,” and “Don’t Pay the Ferryman”. De Burgh’s music blends pop, rock, and folk influences, often featuring themes of love and adventure.
Over his career, he has released numerous albums and achieved international success. His heartfelt lyrics and melodic compositions have earned him a dedicated fanbase and a lasting legacy in contemporary music.
