Michael Bublé will croon and swoon six lucky ConnectedWomen.
Australia is one of Michael Bublé’s biggest markets. He has sold more than 1.4 million albums in just four years.

Michael’s third album, 'Call Me Irresponsible', entered the Australian charts at number one. Since then, it has spent more than six months in the Australian Top 40, having gone triple platinum.

This tour is themed around the ‘Call Me Irresponsible’ album and follows his visit in 2005 for the “It’s Time” tour. During that tour Michael performed 13 sold-out shows in Australia. He also appeared at the TV WEEK Logie Awards and the AFL Grand Final – and guest starred in the Kath & Kim television series. 

A natural swooner
Although Michael Bublé is a “born singer” who was introduced to the music of the swing era through his grandfather, he says he was still “terrified” at the prospect of recording his latest album. 

Bublé's latest album ‘Call Me Irresponsible’ has been a huge hit in Australia.
“I was completely (terrified), because I knew that it had to be better than the first two –that it had to show growth without alienating anyone, and that’s a tough line,” he told his biographer on his website www.michaelbuble.com/biography.

“Completely, because I knew that it had to be better than the first two — that it had to show growth without alienating anyone, and that’s a tough line.

Bublé succeeded in demonstrating his growth as a singer with this album easily surpassing the sales of his earlier two.

His style of music which is virtually foreign to his own generation, was perfected in his early years with his grandfather's assistance. Bublé learned a whole catalogue of tunes and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands. 

His debut album with Reprise Records incorporated Bublé's aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades. His self-titled debut disc was released in early 2003 and featured fresh takes on old standards like "Fever" and "The Way You Look Tonight" as well as newer classics like Van Morrison's "Moondance" and the Bee Gees' "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart." 

By 2005, “It's Time” was a number one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia and made the top ten of both the UK and US. Later that year he released the live album Caught in the Act. The holiday-themed album Christmas followed in 2006.

Michael's remaining tour dates include:
