Shannon Noll is coming to Geelong for a one-night concert featuring hits like Lift, What About Me and Drive.
Mr Noll is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his multi-platinum debut album, That’s What I’m Talking About, with an Australian tour performance stopping off at Geelong’s Costa Hall on April 19.
“I haven’t played these songs for so long, so I’m really excited about getting them back out again and dusting them off,” he said.
“There’s a lot of negative stuff in music these days, and I’ve had so many times where people have told me that Lift helped them through a dark patch in their lives.
“It makes me so proud, and I couldn’t be happier about my music helping people along the way when maybe they couldn’t help themselves, so I’m stoked about that.”
Mr Noll said the concert would suit fans of all ages and thanked the Geelong community for its 20 years of support.
“I’m really looking forward to this one. We haven’t done a theatre tour of this kind for a good probably 10 years now and it’s really exciting,” he said.
“The only way that any of this is possible was because of the wonderful support from the Australian public, so this is all about them and thanking them for their support.
“I’m really excited to get back down to Geelong and put on what I believe is probably the best show construction and format that I’ve ever done, so this is a real big step for me.”
The Australian concert tour coincides with a special 20th anniversary edition album release of That’s What I’m Talking About on April 5, featuring live recordings and two new songs.
