Rita Ora brings her own impressive credentials to the tour, with over 10 billion global streams and 13 Top 10 UK singles to her name. Her addition makes this one of the hottest double-bills to hit Australia in 2025.

Reflecting on his upcoming return, Ricky Martin expressed his enthusiasm: “Australia holds a special place in my heart. The warmth and energy of the fans there are incredible, and I can’t wait to share music and memories with all of you this November.”

The tour is being promoted by TEG Dainty and TEG Live, with TEG Chair Geoff Jones stating: “TEG Live is thrilled to partner with TEG Dainty to bring Ricky Martin back to Australia with special guest Rita Ora. Ricky Martin is a generational voice, with an enduring appeal, who has successfully produced chart-topping hits over multiple decades and continuously manages to fill venues, year after year. His ability to connect with audiences is unparalleled, and this tour will undoubtedly be a highlight of the 2025 entertainment calendar.”

His trophy cabinet includes two Grammys, four Latin GRAMMYs, fourteen Premio Lo Nuestro awards, twelve Latin Billboard Awards, nine World Music Awards, and two American Music Awards.
