I felt it a duty to share with Rufus fans that he will be coming to Australia next year to perform the Judy Garland concerts. I have a source (no really...I do) and they wouldn't give me any more details!! But if I can wheedle it out of them...
{q a=[[PocketPenniless]]}I'm sure that I have read that it's going to be in January at Sydney Opera House (or maybe I just dreamt it - I have a habit of doing that :) )
{/q}
ooo, ur so lucky....maybe its about time i went back to sydney....
Rufus told me at the After Party at the Palladium that he was coming to Australia in January. I asked whether it was to do Judy- or his own work. He said"Both"
I wasn't going to get my hopes up- because he seems to be having such a hectic work load this year - that it might not come off.
Plus best laid plans and all of that.....
But now I think I might start getting excited about My Rufy Oz Road Trip!
Thankyou distantlights! So nice to have a confirmation of sorts! That will be three years to the month since we last had a taste of Rufus! My birthday is in January, I couldn't ask for a better present than seeing Rufus!
I went to the home page today, in the vain hope that some Australian dates would be announced, and there was a pic of the concert hall in Glasgow... and for a split second it looked like the Sydney Opera House .... and just a little bit of wee almost came out ... and then I looked again. Boo ya sucks!
Is the news that he is on his way and the tickets went on sale today... (scream scream etc ) only to discover that the tickets for the Sydney show do not go on sale until Monday 27 August!!
When I checked ticketmaster.com.au no tickets were on offer, so I rang them for confirmation and they said August 27. THAT'S FOR THE SYDNEY SHOW. But don't take my word for it .. check for yourselves...! (I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on tickets because the chick at Ticketmaster gave me the wrong info.)
I also asked re. the show in Melbourne but she wasn't sure when tix go on sale for that one. Shit!!
{q a=[[jyolovesru]]}Listening to Rufus on NPR last Friday, he said that the Judy concert in Hollywood, CA in September will be his last Judy concert.{/q}
If so, let this be a great one for Rufus,and I do hope his voice is on amazing form,as 'The Old Vic' in London was a night to remember,I felt priviledged to be there.:)
