Get Excited Because Phil Collins Just Announced A 2019 Australian Tour

Staff Writer

"I thought I would retire quietly..."

More Phil Collins Phil Collins

Music legend Phil Collins has today announced he'll be returning to Australia in 2019.

The UK songwriter will bring his Not Dead Yet: Live! tour to the country next January and February, with shows confirmed in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne.

"I thought I would retire quietly," Collins said.

"But thanks to the fans, my family and support from some extraordinary artists I have rediscovered my passion for music and performing.

"It’s time to do it all again and I’m excited. It just feels right."

"I was privileged to be at the opening show of this tour at the Royal Albert Hall in London," said President & CEO of TEG DAINTY Paul Dainty, who is bringing the tour Down Under. 

"What an inspiring and amazing concert. Australian fans, stand-by for something  super special. I am thrilled to be working with Phil and his team again."

Tickets for the tour will go on sale from Wednesday 5 September; for a look at all of the dates, click on theGuide or scroll down.
