Sarah Blasko brings her Double Feature Tour this spring, showcasing two seminal albums across Australia in a career-spanning celebration. Performing The Overture & the Underscore and What The Sea Wants, The Sea Will Have, Blasko reunites with her longtime live band.
Presale begins 13 June at 11am local time, followed by general on-sale starting Tuesday 17 June. These beloved albums will appear on vinyl for the first time, including rare B-sides and gatefold packaging available to preorder now.
Blasko reflects on her early vision, recognizing how determined she was to build a music career without consciously realizing it then. With seven acclaimed solo albums and major theatrical works, she continues to redefine authenticity through music, storytelling, and powerful live experiences.
Her impressive accolades include ARIA wins, Platinum records, and praise from icons like Elton John for her unique artistic voice. This tour is more than a retrospective—it’s a vibrant reminder of why Sarah Blasko remains one of Australia’s most important musical forces.

Venue
Astor Theatre is a two-storey commercial building constructed in 1914/15, by Simon B. Alexander, to a design by David McClure. Originally built in Federation Free Classical style, it was extensively renovated, in 1939, in the Inter-War Art Deco style to plans drawn by cinema architect William Leighton. Further renovations were carried out in 1989, by Philip McAllister.
Our History
The Astor Theatre has not always been known by this name. When it was first opened on 5 November 1919 it was called The Lyceum. Architect and owner-builder, Simon Bremner Alexander claimed it was the coolest building in the state. At the time this was due to the exceptional ventilation but we will reclaim the title for other reasons.
The venue was multi-purpose back then too and on Tuesday and Thursday nights it was hired for dancing. The orchestra also made use of The Lyceum. Next door to the venue was an open-air theatre where silent pictures continued in the gardens even after sound made its way into theatre.
In 1930 it was reinvented again and named the State Theatre and State Summer Gardens and later in the ’30s it got a facelift and extensive renovations. The gardens were closed in 1970.
Finally in 1941, the venue became known as what it is today, the Astor Theatre. The venue had to lose ‘State’ from its title due to a government decree that no private company could use the term.
As time went on the Astor was spilt into two theatres for adult and Italian films, was used as a bingo hall, accommodated karate and was threatened with extinction when in 1988 there was a call for it to be demolished. Public outcry prevented this and it is now heritage listed.
In 1991, the theatre was completely refurbished again and many of these elements remain today.
