Overview
GRAMMY-winning legend Richard Marx is heading to QPAC in April as part of his five-city After Hours Tour!
With a career spanning four decades, Marx will perform his biggest hits – “Right Here Waiting”, “Hazard” and “Endless Summer Nights” – along with brand-new music!
“I can’t wait to get back to Australia ... the audiences there have always been so warm and passionate. It’s going to be an unforgettable run of shows”, says Richard Marx.
Currently appearing as a coach on The Voice Australia alongside Melanie C (Sporty Spice), Ronan Keating and Kate Miller-Heidke, Marx remains one of the world’s most loved artists. His last Australian tour in 2023 was a sell-out success, and demand for his 2026 return is expected to be even greater.
The tour follows the September release of his latest single “All I Ever Needed” featuring world-renowned trumpeter Chris Botti. Co-written by Marx, “All I Ever Needed” is a sweeping, jazz-infused ballad, pairing his signature lyrical intimacy with lush orchestration and a soaring horn solo from Botti.
This year, Marx has also expanded his creative horizons with his hit podcast and YouTube series Stories To Tell, where he hosts candid, cocktail-fueled conversations with friends and collaborators including Kenny G, Paul Stanley (KISS), Katie Couric, Chelsea Peretti, Rick Springfield, and more.
