Jon Stevens – Starlight Album Tour

Fresh from hitting UK roads, revered singer-songwriter Jon Stevens is now packing his bags for an Australian tour to celebrate the release of his latest album, Starlight. He will be rocking stages in Melbourne, Adelaide, Darwin, Wollongong, Sydney, Brisbane, Tweed Heads and Perth this July to August.

Joining him on the tour will be his long-time friend, Kate Ceberano. “I am so looking forward to heading out on the road with Jon,” she says. “It is an honour to be able to perform with him to celebrate this wonderful album release. This kind of tour has been in discussions for a long-time and I am so glad it is something that we have been able to bring to fruition for Starlight.”

Jon Stevens really needs no introduction to Australian audiences. After fronting some of the most iconic Aussie bands—Noiseworks, INXS and Dead Daisies—he now offers a solo effort which showcases his impressive musicianship and songwriting skills that make him one of the best in the business today. In Starlight, he teams up with the legendary Ringo Starr, and fellow contemporary musician, songwriter and producer Dave Stewart (of Grammy-award winning Eurythmics fame). The result is an album bursting with soul, rawness and honesty.

Starting his career back in his home of New Zealand as a teenager, Jon Stevens already had two number one singles by the tender age of 16. Fast forward to the early 1980s and with five mates, Noiseworks filled the Australian airwaves with hits like No Lies, Love Somebody, Take Me Back, Touch and In My Youth to name a few.

When Noiseworks when on hiatus, he didn’t stop working. He followed up with solo albums, multiple stints in stage productions such as Jesus Christ Superstar and earned worldwide acclaim taking centre stage with INXS. His next band, The Dead Daisies, stepped up that international reputation with the debut single Lock and Load featuring the legendary Slash on guitar.
