Nine-time Grammy Award winner Norah Jones is making her much-awaited return to Australia in April next year. The critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter will first be performing at Melbourne's Palais Theatre, then will make her way to Sydney's State Theatre for a pair of shows before concluding at Hobart's Federation Concert Hall. The headline dates go on top of her scheduled performance at Byron Bay's Bluesfest 2019.
After the AU dates, she will fly to New Zealand for shows at Auckland's ASB Theatre, Wellington's TSB Arena, Dunedin's Regent Theatre, Queenstown Events Centre and Christchurch Town Hall.

Jones' groundbreaking 2002 debut album 'Come Away With Me' took the world by storm, selling more than one million copies in Australia alone and a whopping 27 million globally. So far, Jones has sold over 50 million albums worldwide. Her incredible career showcases an enviable versatility and true mastery of her craft. From jazz to country, folk, rock and soul, Jones is a singular talent whose work crosses all the boundaries of American music—as evidenced on her chart-topping solo releases: 'Feels Like Home (2004)', 'Not Too Late (2007)', 'The Fall (2009)', the genre-bending 'Little Broken Hearts (2012, produced by Danger Mouse)', and her most recent longplayer, 'Day Breaks (2016)', not to mention her work with collective bands The Little Willies and Puss N Boots.

Jones' list of collaborators and musical admirers across the years reads like a 'who's who' of the biggest names in music. Icons such as Outkast, Q-Tip, Herbie Hancock, Belle & Sebastian, Dolly Parton and Foo Fighters, for example, all appeared on her 2010 compilation, '...Featuring Norah Jones'.
