GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and producer Richard Marx returns to the Sydney Opera House in April 2026.

Marx will bring his timeless voice and unforgettable catalogue to Sydney, performing new music alongside the global hits that have defined his extraordinary career.

“I can’t wait to get back to Australia,” says Richard Marx. “The audiences there have always been so warm and passionate. It’s going to be an unforgettable run of shows.”

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 is expected to be even greater.

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 realization that love is life’s true anchor.

This year, Marx has also expanded his creative horizons with his hit podcast and YouTube series Stories To Tell, where he hosts candid, cocktail-fuelled conversations with friends and collaborators including Kenny G, Paul Stanley (KISS), Katie Couric, Chelsea Peretti, Rick Springfield, and more.

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 540 million streams on Spotify and counting.

Don’t miss your chance to experience the legendary Richard Marx live in concert – back in Australia April 2026.
