Australia has added a couple of high-profile tours for fans to indulge in during late summer/autumn this year. Both Lady Gaga and British pop star Robbie Williams have announced four-gig concert tours on the continent down under.
It hasn't been too long since the last time the Aussies have gotten to see Gaga. She came down for during the 2012 leg of the "Born This Way Ball." Granted, she's not quite as huge in Australia as in the United States. ARTPOP only debuted at no. 2 on the charts in the country when it was released during 2013 (but admittedly, it had tough competition from Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP 2 in its second week). Her 'ARTPOP Ball' tour will open during May in Florida and, as previously announced, she'll head to Europe following the Australian dates. Her dates are listed below.
08/20: Perth @ Perth Arena
08/23: Melbourne @ Rod Laver Arena
08/26: Brisbane @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre
08/30: Sydney @ Allphones Arena
It seems silly to an American audience to put Robbie Williams next to Lady Gaga in terms of noteworthy tours, but Williams is a bigger star to more UK-centric audience of Australia. The performer hasn't toured the continent in nearly eight years, and his last run through Australia netted more than 500,000 tickets. His dates are also listed below, and it looks vaguely familiar for some reason...
09/11: Perth @ Perth Arena
09/16: Melbourne @ Rod Laver Arena
09/22: Brisbane @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre
09/27: Sydney @ Allphones Arena
As Music Times reported earlier, Kanye West will also be heading to Australia on tour this year, but he'll be making his stops during May.
