REGINA SPEKTOR
ANNOUNCING AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND TOUR!
It gives The Frontier Touring Company great delight to announce the return of Regina Spektor to Australia and New Zealand in April this year.
When Regina Spektor's family moved from her birthplace of the Soviet Union to America's Bronx, her musical interests and talent expanded from the genre of classical music toward the vibrancy of pop and rock. These transitions of location and taste are reflected in the classical artistry within her piano composition and distinctive eclectic fusion of sounds. Adding to her repertoire of skills is her ability to play not only the piano but the guitar and occasional percussion as well, rendering her a truly versatile musician.
Regina Spektor's first four albums, the most recent being the gold-certified Begin to Hope, which spawned hit singles Fidelity and On The Radio, were positively received by fans and critics alike and stand testament to her prodigious talent. Last here in 2007, Regina's sold out Australasian tour and international shows saw her fan base grow tremendously.
Regina Spektor's fifth and latest release, Far, continues to captivate listeners with sharp observations about the world around us. An insightful album full of universal appeal which maintains the intimate dialogue that is trademark Regina Spektor, the album peaked in the Top 10 on the ARIA Album chart and continues to win hearts across the nation.
Audiences in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Wellington will be treated to live performances by the charismatic piano-pop darling. Tickets are sure to be in high demand, buy yours early to ensure you don't miss Regina Spektor's charming live show.
Frontier Members pre-sale tickets available from Thursday 11 March at 12 Noon, AEDT. General on-sale starts Tuesday 16 March at 9am local time.

THE CULT “LOVE” LIVE WORLD TOUR HEADS TO AUSTRALIA!
The Cult to perform the “LOVE” album in its entirety, giving fans what they want!
Thursday, 11 March, 2010 – Chugg Entertainment and Sun Touring Company announced today that legendary rock act, THE CULT, will be heading to Australia as part of their “Love” Live Tour, with confirmed dates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth in May, 2010.
This will be the first time THE CULT has toured Australia in 15 years, last performing as part of the Big Day Out in 1995.
The LOVE album is viewed by fans and world-wide media as The Cult’s pre-eminent release. From the immediately recognizable opening notes of She Sells Sanctuary, through Billy Duffy’s psychedelic guitar strains on Phoenix, to the resolve of Ian Astbury’s haunting baritone on Brother Wolf, Sister Moon, The Cult created an album that manoeuvres as a tour de force.
The Cult “LOVE” Live Tour will showcase the band’s alternative roots as musicians and performers, and is sure to electrify new fans and devotees. Since commencing the tour in mid 2009, the band have performed in diverse venues from the grand scale excitement of London’s Royal Albert Hall, to the intimate setting of Paris’ Le Bataclan, this tour will see the band fulfil the ultimate dream of Cult lovers across the globe, performing the unimaginable; a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness one of alternative rock’s most important records, LOVE, performed in its entirety, live onstage.
"The band is redefining the live album experience with the “LOVE” Live Tour; nothing is comparable to witnessing The Cult, fully engaged in the live creation of arguably their seminal album. For fans this will be the greatest tour yet, and for those just discovering The Cult, this staging will envelop them in a pure performance experience,” stated Cult manager, Tom Vitorino.
The band will take fans through a “best of” finale which will include their greatest hits spanning their storied career. The Cult will deliver spectacular production, along with the intense performances that fans have come to expect and have been working closely with their art/ design team to create an arresting set, with dramatic effects, using state-of-the art technology.
Continuing their historic creative partnership, Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy began writing together again in 2001 and have since recorded several songs at The Sunset Marquis Villa Recording Studios, in Los Angeles. Their highly anticipated new tracks will be the follow up to The Cult’s 2007 release, the critically acclaimed, Born Into This.
Tickets for all shows go on sale on Friday, 19 March, 2010. Stay tuned for support act announcements.

THE FRONTIER TOURING COMPANY
PROUDLY ANNOUNCE TOM JONES AS THEIR 500TH TOUR
It’s no secret that over the years, The Frontier Touring Company has brought some of music’s greatest names to fans in Australia and New Zealand. Now 30 years on from our first tour in 1980, Frontier continues to bring audiences the best in musical entertainment and reach another grand milestone. It gives us great pleasure to announce that our 500th tour is the illustrious Tom Jones.
“I am delighted that Tom Jones is Frontier’s 500th tour” says Michael Gudinski, Managing Director of The Frontier Touring Company. “In our 30 years in the business Frontier has always had a focus on career artists and there’s no doubt that Tom has one of the most legendary careers on record. It’s very appropriate that of all of the tours in our gleaming history, no less than a knight has claimed the 500th spot.”
Tom Jones has toured with Frontier three times since 1995, and last night completed the New Zealand leg of his Australasian tour. His Australian shows kick off tomorrow in the Hunter Valley.
The reviews from New Zealand are overflowing with praise for the phenomenal star and critics seem to have had no reservations about the high quality of his shows, charismatic showmanship and enduring vocal capabilities:
“Sublime. From the moment he walked on to the stage, the personality of Jones filled the auditorium. It would be surprising if anyone in the nearly packed Town Hall felt he was not singing directly to them; such was the strength of his presence.” - Otago Daily Times
“Jones is a born showman… He moves through his versions of country, pop, dance and soul, very much making every song his own.” - The Dominion Post
“Looking as nimble as his fresh-faced ten-piece band, Jones shimmied about the stage, throwing in some cheeky pelvic thrusts and Welsh quips along the way…his famously resonant voice shook the vines.” – NZ Herald
The gifted Welsh performer, aptly also known in his homeland as ‘Jones The Voice’, is now ready to romance audiences across Australia and will sing at a series of arena venues in Sydney, Wollongong and Melbourne alongside his A Day On The Green appearances.
With an adoring fan-base that spans all ages and multiple genres, tickets to Tom Jones’ performances have been in high demand. The remaining tickets to all shows are on sale now, buy yours without delay to avoid disappointment.
Every ticket purchased includes a copy of Tom Jones’ Australian platinum selling album 24 Hours, also on sale through Liberator.
