In a statement released about the tour, Martin said: “Australia holds a special place in my heart. The warmth and energy of the fans there are incredible, and I can’t wait to share music and memories with all of you this November.”

Joined by special guest Rita Ora, Martin has locked in four shows, beginning his tour at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Saturday, November 1. He then performs at Brisbane’s Entertainment Centre on Thursday, November 6 and Canberra’s GIO Stadium on Saturday, November 8, before bringing his whirlwind tour to an end at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Monday, November 10.

Getting his start with Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, Ricky Martin went solo in 1991 and quickly found himself topping the Latin American charts. As his success continued to spread throughout Europe in the ‘90s, it was the release of his first English album, Ricky Martin, that catapulted Martin to worldwide success.

The album went to the top of the US Billboard 200 and spawned hit singles ‘Livin' la Vida Loca’, ‘She’s All I Ever Had’, ‘Shake Your Bon-Bon’ and ‘Private Emotion’.

Martin has gone on to release ten albums in total, including 2015’s A Quien Quiera Escuchar, his most recent, and won four Latin Grammy Awards and two Grammy Awards.

His upcoming Ricky Martin Live 2025 tour promises an unforgettable 90 minutes featuring a banging setlist of his greatest hits, including ‘Livin’ la Vida Loca’, ‘She Bangs’, ‘María’ and ‘The Cup of Life’, paired with a visually stunning stage production featuring visuals, lighting, dancers and a live band.
