Air Supply's 50th anniversary celebration is getting even bigger.
The legendary soft rock duo has announced six new dates for its A Matter of Time tour, expanding the milestone trek with additional performances across Australia and New Zealand this December. The newly announced shows include stops on the Gold Coast, in Wollongong, Perth, Adelaide, Broadmeadow and Auckland as the band continues celebrating five decades together.
The announcement comes as Air Supply prepares for one of the busiest chapters of its career. The A Matter of Time tour celebrates the duo's 50th anniversary, while also sharing its name with the band's upcoming studio album, its first collection of new material in 14 years.
The group shared the news of its latest album on Instagram, writing: "After 14 years, the wait is finally over!! We are thrilled to announce that our brand-new album, A Matter of Time, is now available for purchase!!"
Air Supply's story began in 1975 when Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock met while performing in the Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Their musical chemistry quickly led them to form Air Supply, launching a partnership that would produce some of soft rock's most enduring songs.
“The first time I met [Graham Russell] was for rehearsals for Jesus Christ Superstar and we were amongst a few outcasts because most of the people had been in the production business and they were from a theatre background,” Hitchcock told Unlocking Connecticut. “We have the same kind of sense of humor, same interest in movies, everything is pretty much like my twin brother.”
By the early 1980s, the duo had become one of the biggest acts in the world. Between 1980 and 1983, Air Supply scored an extraordinary run of Top 10 hits in the United States, including "Lost in Love," "All Out of Love," "Every Woman in the World," "Here I Am" and "Making Love Out of Nothing at All." In 1981, "The One That You Love" became the pair’s only No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
Despite changing musical trends, Air Supply has remained a constant presence on the road, performing for audiences around the globe while building one of the most loyal fan bases in classic pop and rock. In 2013, the duo was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in recognition of its lasting impact on Australian music.
Nearly 50 years after first joining forces, Russell and Hitchcock are showing little sign of slowing down. Between a milestone anniversary tour, a long-awaited new album and now six additional dates in Australia and New Zealand, Air Supply continues to prove why its timeless love songs have resonated with generations of fans.
Tickets are available through Air Supply's official site.
