Judith Durham Announces Australian Solo Tour 2012

A Judith Durham Australian solo tour 2012 has been announced that will see the Australian Icon and original ‘pop princess’ embark on a nationwide live tour, her first Australian concert tour since 2001.

As the legendary and much-loved lead vocalist of Australia’s first global chart-topping band The Seekers in the mid 1960s, Judith Durham became our first international ‘pop princess’. She went on to be named ‘Australian of the Year’ in 1967 (jointly with The Seekers) for putting Australia on the international pop music map.

Often outselling The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, The Seekers were the first Australian group to reach No. 1 in the UK and USA. Their timeless hits include Oscar-nominated “Georgy Girl”, “I’ll Never Find Another You” (more than 5 million hits on YouTube to date) and the international #1 hit, “The Carnival Is Over” (No.30 in ‘UK Top 100 Best Selling Singles Of All Time’).

“Life is so full of surprises lately, and to be given this opportunity to sing live for all my beautiful Australian fans at this 50th anniversary milestone time in my life is a dream coming true.” says Judith.

“It has been on the horizon for 10 years since my last big tour here and I can’t wait to get out and say hello to everyone in song.”

The Colours of My Life tour will comprise the best of Judith’s music from all the diverse styles covered in her incredible 50 year musical journey. Taking in all of Australia’s major capitals in July, Colours of My Life is sure to blow audiences away with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear the golden voice of ‘true musical royalty’ live.
