The Songwriter Tour heads Down Under in the spring

Richard Marx is taking his 12 date The Songwriter Tour to New Zealand for the first time and returning to Australia in spring 2023. Produced by Frontier Touring and Arena Touring, the trek sees the Grammy winner supporting his 13th studio album, Songwriter, which is available now.

“I couldn’t be more excited to return to my home away from home, Australia, to perform for the fans once again,” Marx shares. “That I’ll also finally be able to play my first ever concerts in New Zealand is icing on the cake. Can’t wait to get there.”

Having last toured Australia in 2018 and playing New Zealand for the first time, The Songwriter Tour will play Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland before Brisbane, Tweed Heads, Newcastle, Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney, Wollongong, Penrith and Perth. Dates run from February 19th through March 10th.

Frontier Members pre-sale kicks off Tuesday, October 4th at 1 pm local time before the general public on sale on Thursday, October 6th at noon local time via Ticketmaster.

Marx is a cultural touchstone, whose influence remains steadfast in pop culture today having written and performed some of the most indelible hits of the late ’80s and early ’90s, “Endless Summer Nights,” “Hold on to the Nights,” “Should’ve Known Better,” Don’t Mean Nothing” and “Right Here Waiting.”
