Michael Buble – February 21 – 22, RAC Arena
Michael Bublé thought he knew what love was. After all, he’s sold more than 60 million albums worldwide singing about the subject. But it turns out he had a lot to learn.
The week that his last album, 2016’s Nobody But Me was released, Bublé and his family went through an emotional journey that informed and changed his life… He was understandably unsure how or if music was going to remain part of his life. “What the experience did was give me a real perspective… It completely changed my outlook on what mattered and what was important to me.”
Witness how much he has transformed over the years since then, as he promises to deliver an absolutely stellar performance for two nights in Perth.
