International pop sensation Mika returns down under this Feburary—after 11 years—as part of his 'Revelation Tour'. The visit, which comes in the wake of his fifth album 'My Name Is Michael Holbrook', will kick off at Brisbane's The Tivoli Theatre. He will head next to Sydney's Enmore Theatre and will wrap up at Melbourne's The Forum. Before the Aussie dates, the singer-songwriter will play his first ever New Zealand show, setting the stage ablaze at the Auckland Town Hall.
The result of two years of songwriting in Miami and Tuscany, Mika's 'My Name Is Michael Holbrook' was recorded using vintage synths in Brussels with producers Marc Crew and Dan Priddy. The entire album features organic soundscapes which speak to various decades of pop and represent his journey of self-discovery. Notable tracks from the album include 'Ice Cream', 'Tiny Love', 'Cry' and 'Platform Ballerina'.
Mika has a reputation of being one of the defining pop artists of his generation. His debut record 'Life in Cartoon Motion' was one of 2007's best-selling albums globally. It saw him pick up the 2008 BRIT Award for British Breakthrough Artist plus a Grammy nomination. Featuring his breakthrough hit single 'Grace Kelly' and its follow-ups 'Love Today', 'Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)', 'Happy Ending' and 'Lollipop', the album has been certified Gold and Platinum across 32 different countries with 10 million sales wordwide.
More recently, Mika has featured on British-Italian crooner Jack Savoretti's UK #1 album the 'Special Edition: Singing to Strangers' with 'Youth and Love (featuring Mika)', and Kylie Minogue's 2016 festive album 'Kylie Christmas (Snow Queen Edition)' with 'Wonderful Christmastime (with Mika)'.
