A Live Nation pre-sale stars on Tuesday, February 25 at midday, ending at 11am on Wednesday, February 26, with Mastercard Preferred tickets available.

Khan’s Byron Bay tour date is part of the Bluesfest festival lineup this year, with The Queen of Funk joining Toto of Africa fame in the tourist town as well as Christopher Cross, Maoli, Clarence Bekker Band, Eric Stang, Hussy Hicks, The Royals, Crowded House, Ocean Alley and Vance Joy.

Khan told Harper’s Bazaar of her 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction; “I’m not nostalgic at all.

“I’m just busy with my life, and suddenly I’ve been doing it for 50 years.

“I’m not counting. I’m just living every day like everybody else, so I’m surprised when birthdays come up. I’m like, ‘Oh, wow, tempus fugit (Latin for ’time flies’)’, and I keep it moving. I’m really a next person.”
