Having just completed a successful tour of Australia alongside American singer-songwriter Richard Marx, Tina Arena is going around again, announcing the Don’t Ask… Again Encore Tour.
“You asked for it & we listened. We’re heading back on the road for the Don’t Ask… Again Encore Tour in 2025!” Arena announced via social media.
“I can’t wait to create even more amazing memories with you all, alongside special tour guest Dylan Wright. Thank you for your continued love and support of my music - it means the world.”
Marking the 30th anniversary of her hit album Don’t Ask, fans can expect to hear all the biggest songs from the record and their favourite Tina tunes, including ‘Chains’, ‘Burn’ and ‘Sorrento Moon (I Remember)’.
The tour has been described as “a love letter to her loyal fans who have embraced her as a national treasure,” with Arena’s world-class band backing her as she performs 12 dates nationwide.
Arena’s encore tour begins at Perth’s Riverside Theatre on Sunday, April 27 and moves onto Sydney’s State Theatre (Tuesday, April 29 and Wednesday, April 30), Penrith’s Evan Theatre (Sunday, May 4), Newcastle’s Civic Theatre (Tuesday, May 6), Melbourne’s Palais Theatre (Thursday, May 8 and Friday, May 9), Cairns’ Munro Martin Parklands (Saturday, May 17), Brisbane’s QPAC Concert Hall (Tuesday, May 20 and Wednesday, May 21) and Gold Coast’s Star (Friday, May 23), before coming to an end at Adelaide’s Her Majesty’s Theatre on Friday, May 30.

Last year Tina Arena toured Australia celebrating the 30th anniversary of her smash album, Don’t Ask, alongside Richard Marx, Daryl Braithwaite, Kate Cebuano, Southern Sons and 1927.
The ten-track release topped the ARIA Charts in 1994 and spawned the hit singles ‘Chains’, ‘Sorrento Moon (I Remember)’, ‘Heaven Help My Heart’, ‘Wasn’t It Good’, ‘Show Me Heaven’ and ‘That’s the Way a Woman Feels’.
Arguably her biggest record, Arena’s career has continued to flourish since then, with the Melbourne-born artist bagging six ARIA Awards, selling over 10 million records – including three sung in French – and releasing a best-selling memoir, Now I Can Dance.
