<p>A message from Luka Bloom to announce his 2027 AUSTRALIAN TOUR kicking off in Hobart on February 24&hellip;..</p><p>Greetings Australia, from Ireland.</p><p>So, here&#39;s the thing.......... My last tour in 2024 was my 15th, and probably my favourite tour of Australia. It was the longest; I think 28 concerts.</p><p>I carried a wee secret during that whole journey. About 3 weeks before the tour began in February 2024, I was diagnosed with a major heart issue, requiring full-on open heart surgery. I asked the doctor how long did I have before I needed to take this REALLY seriously. (Australia was in my mind). Surgery was needed within a year, preferably less than that.</p><p><br></p><p>So, off I went, singing my way around your beautiful country, knowing that I was going home to &#39;interesting&#39; times...... The surgery happened in November &#39;24. It took about 6-8 months to begin to sing again. During that time I wondered would I ever see Australia again, ever sing there again.</p><p>In preparation for the surgery, I decided that being positive was important.</p><p>So, while my energy was degrading, I wrote and recorded 15 songs and instrumentals. It was important in advance, to celebrate the surgeons, doctors and nurses, BEFORE they did their job.</p><p>So, in May 2025, on my 70th birthday, I released my 25th album, called A Second Wind. In July 2025, I returned to the Mater hospital in Dublin and performed the album for the doctors, nurses of that great place, who took such great care of me.</p><p><br></p><p>And now I am preparing for my 16th tour of Australia in Feb-April 2027.</p><p>It is called The Second Wind Tour, because that is what I have been given.</p><p><br></p><p>In recent weeks I have been recording yet again.</p><p>But for now, what matters is the return to this country I have loved so much since the Enmore in Sydney in 1992.</p><p>I will be servicing The Acoustic Motorbike soon, oiling the chain, and preparing for a good spin, with my friends Marc and Hanne.</p><p>See you soon,</p><p><br></p><p>Luka Bloom</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><hr><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">TICKETING INFO</span></strong>&nbsp;</span></p><p>Please have a digital or printed copy of your ticket ready on arrival along with a valid photo ID.
