One of contemporary music’s most iconic stars, the legendary Stevie Wonder, has announced that he will tour Australia in October 2008.
The ‘A Wonder Spring Night’ tour will travel to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth and tickets will go on sale on Thursday 24th July from Ticketek.
Stevie Wonder’s last national tour of Australia was in the 80’s.
Stevie Wonder released the first live performance track to reach the top of the U.S. charts with Fingertips Part II. His amazing career has earned him 49 top 40 singles, 32 number-one singles, an Academy Award® for "I Just Called to Say I Love You," plus Billboard's 2004 Century Award. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, alongside the Rolling Stones.
In 1983, Wonder spearheaded the realisation of Martin Luther King Day as a national U.S. holiday. His participation in the massive 1985 "We Are the World" fundraiser for hunger in Africa was a music industry milestone, while his involvement to put an end to apartheid in South Africa is legendary.
Stevie Wonder was the youngest honoree of the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors. At the 22nd Kennedy Center Honors in 1999, President Clinton remarked: "In so many ways (Wonder) has helped to compose the remaining passages of Dr. King's legacy." But it is Wonder's song writing legacy that has inexorably connected him to the world. From Motown prodigy to groundbreaking innovator, he has always believed in music as a transformational force.
Stevie Wonder’s Australian tour - A WONDER SPRING NIGHT - is being produced by Paul Dainty of Dainty Consolidated Entertainment in conjunction with Live Nation.
