Rufus Wainwright Announces Australian Tour
» Rufus Wainwright Announces Hobart Show - December 3, 2007
The eccentric, fabulous and prodigiously talented Rufus Wainwright is coming to Australia with a full band for the first time. The national tour kicks off in January 2008, and promises to be a heart-stopping, unmissable evening for fans of eminently sophisticated songwriting and heavenly musical orchestration.
The tour is in support of his latest and fifth album, 2007’s Release the Stars. It’s a gorgeous record which features in his current set list, and has been receiving four star reviews wherever it lands.
Longer term, and newly inducted fans of Rufus Wainwright are destined to be entirely satisfied, and yet left wanting more after attending these concerts. With an 8 piece band supporting him, Rufus creates a huge sound, akin to listening to a classical jazz crossover performance with captivating vocals, mesmerising lyrics and engaging banter. Don’t delay getting your tickets for this very special event.
