Fans of the star can expect the singer to perform hits such as I’m The Only One, Like The Way I Do, Come To My Window and Bring Me Some Water when she returns next year to hit the stage in support of her latest album, Beautiful Day.

Etheridge will be in Perth on May 10, Adelaide on May 12, Melbourne on May 15 and Sydney on May 17.

The public sale will the begin on Thursday, November 30 at 12pm local time. Exclusive VIP upgrade packages will also be available for purchase during the sale.

Etheridge has remained one of America’s favourite female singer-songwriters for more than three decades, and in 1996 she received the Songwriter of the Year honour at the ASCAP Pop Awards.

Meanwhile, the star has recently been busy with her acclaimed Broadway show. Part rock concert and part memoir, My Window, which originally debuted off-Broadway, chronicles Etheridge’s life as a musician and activist.

In a recent interview about the show, she credited her approach to life and her career with having survived a battle with breast cancer.

“I think I had a lot of stuff going on that I didn’t quite get clear until I did get cancer. My approach to artistry, my approach to all of it, changed,” she told Shondaland.

“My whole personality changed. What I was striving for changed, how I was critiquing myself, my own harshness I was having with myself changed, so the music became more about inspiring than titillating.”
