Russell Morris Adds New Dates to 'The Farewell Tour' in Australia

Due to demand, new shows for Russell Morris’ The Farewell Tour have been added at Bendigo’s Ulumbarra Theatre (31 July), Geelong’s Costa Hall (2 August), Twin Towns Services Club (23 August matinee), Canberra Theatre Centre on Thursday, 21 August and Anita’s Theatre (6 September matinee).

After 58 hectic years of touring, this will be Morris's last major circuit around Australia. With only limited tickets available for all previously announced shows, they are all expected to be sold out long before the tour commences.

The Farewell Tour will feature Morris's various incarnations - from Hush, Sweet Sweet Love and Wings of An Eagle, through to the acclaimed blues trilogy that began with the landmark, record-breaking, platinum selling #1 ARIA Chart Album Sharkmouth in 2012, which became his most successful album and winning the 2013 ARIA Award for Best Blues and Roots Album.

Morris recently released a new single, End of the Beginning - a deeply emotional track serving as a farewell to his fans, marking a significant moment in his storied career and reflecting on the memories, experiences, and connections he has built with his audience over the years.

After being asked for close to 50 years about which of his songs (his children!) are his favourites, Morris has put together a Spotify playlist of all his choices from across his illustrious career, which can be streamed from here.

Venue and ticket agency database pre-sales for the kick off at 10.00am (local times) on Monday, 2 May for the Ulumbarra Theatre show and at 9.00am (local time) on Thursday, 22 May for the Canberra Theatre Centre show.
