Tina Arena will return to the stage after cancelling her tour last year.
The Australian singer will perform on the 7th of December at the Mornington Racecourse.
The 56-year-old will be joined by Richard Marx, Daryl Braithwaite, Kate Ceberano, Southern Sons and 1927.
‘Hey everyone! I’m heading to Mornington this December, thanks to ALWAYS LIVE and Face to Face Touring to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Don’t Ask’ she wrote in a Facebook post this week.
She added: ‘Your love and encouragement continues to fuel my passion and I am so excited to share more memorable moments with you this year.’
It comes after Tina revealed new details of the health issues that caused her to cancel her Love Saves World tour in 2023.
The Australian pop diva was speaking to Yvie Jones on the Two Girls One Pod podcast and explained she had cut her tour short last year after just two shows in Sydney and in Perth because she was in ‘excruciating pain.’
‘I’ll never forget it,’ she said, admitting that she had been rushed to an emergency room after pain in her kidney became completely unbearable.

Doctors then discovered she had an infected kidney and Tina was in ICU for almost seven days.
‘My kidney was very close to exploding because it was highly, highly infected. I wasn’t aware of how bad it actually was,’ the singer said.
‘I actually looked at them and I said, ‘I’m on the road, I’ve got 10 days to recover”, Tina continued.
However, the doctors suggested she should cancel the tour.
The Chains hitmaker announced the cancellation of the tour in October last year.

The cancelled gigs included a Gold Coast concert scheduled for October 12, a Melbourne show for October 20 and the tour’s finale in Adelaide on October 21.
‘For the very first time, I have to postpone the rest of my Australian shows,’ she explained on her Instagram Stories at the time.
‘Believe me when I say, it was a hard decision. But remember, health always comes first. Therefore, to ensure it won’t happen again… here we are.
‘Please hold on to your tickets, there will be more information soon.
‘I wish you all the very best, and my sincere apologies for any inconveniences.’
Tina included a black and white photo of herself rehearsing with her band in a studio in the post.
