GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and producer Richard Marx is back in Australia ready to start filming ‘The Voice,’ followed by his ‘After Hours’ national tour kicking off this April (see Tour Dates below). The five-city run will see Marx bring his timeless voice and unforgettable catalogue, performing new music off his latest Album ‘After Hours’ alongside the global hits that have defined his extraordinary career.
“I can’t wait to get back to Australia. The audiences there have always been so warm and passionate. It’s going to be an unforgettable run of shows.” – says Richard Marx.
Currently appearing as a coach on The Voice Australia alongside Melanie C (Sporty Spice), Ronan Keating and Kate Miller-Heidke, Marx remains one of the world’s most loved artists.
His last Australian tour in 2023 was a sell-out success, and demand for his 2026 return has been just as great. The tour follows the September release of his latest single ‘All I Ever Needed’ featuring world-renowned trumpeter Chris Botti. Co-written by Marx, ‘All I Ever Needed’ is a sweeping, jazz-infused ballad, pairing his signature lyrical intimacy with lush orchestration and a soaring horn solo from Botti. Lyrically, the song traces the journey from independence to surrender, celebrating the realisation that love is life’s true anchor.
Discovered at just 18 by Lionel Richie, Richard Marx went on to become one of the most enduring artists of the modern era, scoring #1 singles in four different decades (a rare feat he shares only with Michael Jackson), penning 14 chart-topping hits across multiple genres, and collaborating with everyone from Hugh Jackman & Luther Vandross to *NSYNC & Ringo Starr. His 1989 ballad ‘Right Here Waiting’ (which is a #1 ARIA Platinum single in Australia) recently enjoyed a resurgence thanks to its inclusion in Tim Burton’s ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,’ with more than 650 million+ streams on Spotify and counting.
