US pop star Anastacia is heading Down Under for the time in a decade as part of a world tour celebrating 25 years of her hit debut album, Not That Kind.

The 56-year-old hitmaker will play shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in September, and advance tickets for the gigs will go on sale from March 28.

Anastacia last toured Australia in 2015 as part of her Resurrection Tour.

The pop superstar, who has sold more than 20 million albums, kicked off her Not That Kind 25th Anniversary Tour in Italy on Monday. 

Her first Australian show for her current world tour will be at Melbourne’s Forum on September 24.

The I’m Outta Love songstress will then head to Sydney for two shows.

The first at Rooty Hill’s Coliseum on September 26, followed by a gig at the Enmore Theatre on September 27.

Anastacia will play her final show of the Australian leg of her tour at Eaton’s Hill Hotel in Brisbane on September 29.

‘l am so excited to be coming to Australia! This is such a fun tour, celebrating 25 years and l can’t wait to share the show over there with you guys,’ the pop diva said in a statement.

‘It’s a night of true nostalgia. Get ready to sing! Bring on the NTK25 Australia party.’

When first released in 2000, Anastacia’s Not That Kind was a smash hit in Australia, reaching the number 2 spot on the ARIA album chart. 

It was also a hit on the ARIA Dance Album chart, reaching number one. 

Not That Kind also launched several hit singles, including the title track, as well as I’m Outta Love, Cowboys and Kisses and Made For Lovin’ You.

After becoming a household name, Anastacia took a lower profile in recent years.

It later emerged that the star was battling a series of health issues making it nearly impossible for her to maintain a global career over the years.

The pop star courageously fought Crohn’s disease, a heart condition and two bouts of breast cancer.

The Sick And Tired songstress was diagnosed at 13 with Crohn’s disease –  an inflammatory bowel disease that can cause severe chronic symptoms that never go away.

She was also diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, and not long after was also diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia – a heart condition which causes varied and rapid heartbeats.

After being diagnosed with breast cancer for a second time in 2013, Anastacia decided to undergo an immediate double mastectomy.

Much loved Down Under, Anastacia made headlines in 2021 when she was crowned winner of The Masked Singer Australia.

In 2023, Anastacia released her eighth studio album Our Song, which soared to the top of the charts in Germany and the UK.  

The Not That Kind 25 pre-sale begins via TEG Live on Friday, 28th March at midday, with general public sales kicking off on Monday, 31st March at 1pm.
