The tour will start in Perth on Tuesday 19th February with a show at The Astor Theatre before heading to Adelaide, Cambelltown, Sydney, Canberra, Bendigo, Melbourne, Newcastle, Coffs Harbour, Tweed Heads and Brisbane.

Carlisle’s third solo album Runaway Horses was released in 1989 and reached #6 on the Australian album charts.  It featured the hit songs Leave a Light On, Summer Rain, Vision of You” and La Luna.

The album includes songs written by Rick Nowels, Ellen Shipley and Carlisle’s former bandmate in The Go-Go’s Charlotte Caffey. There were guest appearances from George Harrison and Bryan Adams. Backing vocals were supplied by many well known singers including Maria Vidal, N’Dea Davenport and Donna Delory.

Ultimately six singles were released from the album and the album ended being one of the top 25 highest selling records in Australia in 1989.

Belinda’s rise to fame started when The Go-Go’s formed in 1978, and recorded a number of hits including We Got The Beat and Our Lips are Sealed before breaking up in 1985.

At this time Belinda embarked on her hugely successful solo career and released her first solo album in 1986. Her second album Heaven on Earth produced the world wide hit Heaven Is A Place on Earth which became a number one in both the US and UK charts and number two on the Australian charts. Another top 10 hit followed with I Get Weak.

Belinda’s hit albums continued into the 90s with hit albums Live Your Life Be Free , Real and A Woman And A Man. She has continued to release music in the last few years – her current album Wilder Shores was released in 2017.
