Tina Arena will tour Oz in January next year, appearing as special guest with international (and rather handsome) superstar Ronan Keating for indoor concerts in Melbourne and Sydney, plus seven “A Day On The Green” winery events around the country.

The tour is a quick skip-hop-and-a-jump back home after she has spent much of the year in Europe – being awarded the French Order of Merit (!!!), releasing a French Greatest Hits album (The Best and Le Meilleur), and has been sweeping wowing crowds on her European tour.

“There really is nothing like the out-door venues in Australia,” Tina said. “They are some of the best places on earth – and surrounded by the holy grape! Touring them with Ronan will be an amazing start to 2010.”

In Australia, Tina will be touring with her full band including strings and performing the her own classics plus songs from (her double platinum) Songs of Love and Loss albums Volumes 1 & 2. If you’ve not heard the albums, they’re probably not quite what you think… with covers of Alice Cooper, Blondie, Nick Kershaw etc.
