“I’m so excited to be here, to perform my hits and some new tracks,’’ Amorosi said.

“The past seven years have been really creative. That’s why people didn’t hear from me because I spent every day arranging and writing music and being super arty.

“It’s great to feel the Melbourne vibe with a great crew.”

Amorosi was joined by almost 300 VIP guests, hosted by the Confidential team and the venue’s owner Simon Lennox.
