In a statement, Minchin said of the upcoming tour, “20 years ago, Dark Side took me from tiny cabaret rooms to the West End of London.

“In the years since then, I’ve pushed the boat out in as many directions as possible… and I’ve only been able to do so because of my fans. They’ve never flinched as I’ve turned corners and reinvented myself, always engaging open-heartedly with whatever I have to offer.

“I’m the luckiest artist on the planet, and I can’t wait to be back touring my home country with a big joyous show spanning my whole bloody mad career.”
