Australian songstress RICKI-LEE is thrilled to be joining superstar JASON DERULO when he returns down under for his ‘Tattoos’ national tour kicking off in less than two weeks time.
Talented pop star JASON DERULO, makes his triumphant return to Australia for a national tour starting April and ending in May 2014. Derulo will perform at the QANTAS Credit Union Arena on May 5.
‘Tattoos’, the album celebrates one of pop’s thrilling comeback stories. ‘Tattoos’ is lead by the double-platinum smash ‘The Other Side’, whose official video has already notched more than 28 million YouTube views, and current top five hit ‘Talk Dirty’ which debuted at #1 on the ARIA singles chart and #2 on the Australian Airplay chart.
Armed with numerous multi-platinum hits, incredible dance moves and great vocal ability, Jason wowed audiences during his 2009 sold-out Australian tour and was set to conquer again with his Future History World Tour in 2012, before a serious accident during tour rehearsals lead to the cancellation of the tour.
Despite his forced hiatus during 2012, the 2011 Pop Songwriter of the Year has amassed impressive sales of more than 15 million tracks in the US and 25 million worldwide, including massive top 10 hits: ‘Whatcha Say’, ‘In My Head’ and ‘Ridin’ Solo’ from his ARIA #4 self-titled debut album plus ‘Don’t Wanna Go Home’, ‘It Girl’, ‘Breathing’ and ‘Fight for You’ from the top 10 album ‘Future History’.

Paul Simon - Live at Sydney Entertainment Centre


The Paul Simon tour heads to the Sydney Entertainment Centre on Tuesday 2nd April. 

In the wake of the 25th anniversary of his musical landmark, Graceland, Simon will bring fans a performance spanning all eras of his illustrious career: from beginnings in the folk clubs of early 1960s Greenwich Village, to the warm and anthemic fruits of his celebrated partnership with Art Garfunkel and his acclaimed solo career.

Widely regarded as one of the most successful and prolific songwriters of the latter half of the 20th century, Simon has consistently penned songs that are mature and literate, but also melodically engaging.  Lyrically, with an astute political and social conscience, he has at times spoken to the concerns and uncertainties of a generation, yet also focused on the personal sentiment.  

In the early 1960s, the folk revival swept New York City, and a new breed of singers and songwriters introduced a new approach to the craft of creating tunes – at the forefront was Paul Simon.  As the 60s gave way to the 70s and 80s, Simon expanded his musical palette and helped introduce many rock and pop fans to world music with his outstanding release, Graceland. 

Although Paul Simon's unique, carefully constructed contributions to music could be called innovative, he insists that the process has a lot to do with discovery. "I'm more interested in what I discover than what I invent. You don't possess it. You can't control it or dictate to it. You're just waiting. Waiting... for the show to begin."  With that credo, he brings his critically acclaimed most recent album to showcase in Australia: So Beautiful or So What.  

Taking more than a year to perfect, Simon has revealed that So Beautiful or So What reminds him of his very first solo release, his acclaimed 1972 album, Paul Simon.  It has been getting rave reviews, not least from his contemporaries.  “This remarkable, thoughtful, often joyful record deserves to be recognised as Paul Simon’s very finest achievement.” – Elvis Costello

Joining Paul Simon on at this Sydney show is the enigmatic Rufus Wainwright – one of the world’s true original contemporary artists.  Recently in Australia for a national tour, Wainwright once again wooed audiences with his staggering live performances off the back of his latest offering, the acclaimed Mark Ronson-produced album Out Of The Game.  With grace and humour, craft and confidence, the album is a remarkable return to the pop world of Rufus Wainwright – showing his scope of sounds and styles, unified by both his incomparable voice and the lucidity of his vision.

Do not miss out on this rare opportunity to witness Paul Simon with special guest Rufus Wainwright.
