The legendary Archie Roach has today announced his final ever national tour. 

“Releasing my debut album, Charcoal Lane, back in 1990, was the most amazing experience in my life," said Roach of the decision. 

"I never imagined that I would be here three decades later still recording and singing on stages in Australia and the world. 


"Music has kept me going, kept me alive. It’s something that I have come to love, especially the relationship I have with those who come to my shows. I am also most grateful to all the people that I have worked with through the years."
