James Taylor Website Leaks Australian Tour Dates
November 12, 2009 by lkatulka
James Taylor has announced the Australian dates for his highly-anticipated world tour with Carole King.
While there’s been no official media announcement yet, James Taylor’s site says the music icons will play shows along the Australian East Coast before heading to New Zealand and Japan.
“When James and I first played together in the early seventies we connected almost immediately, both musically and personally, with an effortless, comfortable familiarity,” explained Carole King. “After we reunited in 2007 with Danny Kortchmar, Russ Kunkel and Lee Sklar, the original band from our early Troubadour shows, none of us wanted the fun to stop. We can’t wait to bring our Troubadour Reunion tour to Australia.”
“This tour, our Troubadour Reunion has been waiting to happen for a long time but the years seem to have vanished. Where does the time go? When we reunited for the Troubadour’s 50th Anniversary celebration in 2007, it was, and still is, all about the music and the celebration of performing together,” added James Taylor.
There’s no word yet on when tickets will go on sale, but these dates should help music fans plan their concert calendar!
27 March 2010 – Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne
31 March 2010 – Entertainment Centre, Brisbane
3 April 2010 – Hope Arena, Hunter Valley
6 April 2010 – Entertainment Centre, Sydney
Does anybody know what songs JT’ll be performing?
I saw him interviewed on Sunrise a couple of weeks ago and he said they’ll play all the hits. Kind of vague I know, but nice to know that we’re in for essentially a greatest hits set rather than pushing some new album. It sounds like we’ll know pretty much everything!
