Fans across the country have been eagerly attending her shows, making the tour a massive success despite a few unexpected challenges along the way.
Disruptions at Recent Shows
While the tour has been largely successful, a few incidents have caused disruptions during some performances. One such incident occurred at her concert in St Kilda, Melbourne, when a reportedly drunk woman caused a scene by attacking other concertgoers. The situation became tense, and security had to step in to handle the situation. Tina Arena, always the professional, paused the performance and took a moment to address the audience, urging for calm and requesting that the disruptive woman leave the venue.
Frustrations Over Concert Etiquette
Earlier in the week, during a performance at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne, Tina Arena expressed her frustration with concertgoers leaving their seats in the middle of her performance. The singer humorously pointed out how, in the past, people would only leave a concert if they were truly in need, jokingly saying, "Back in my day, you wouldn’t leave to go to the toilet unless you were sh*tting your pants." Her comment highlighted her belief in the importance of respecting the performance and the artist.
