**MELBOURNE, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 13, 2024: **Living* *legend **Herbie Hancock** is set to light up stages across Australia and New Zealand next month, in his first visit since 2019, promising an electrifying evening from one of music’s most revered names.

**In exciting news for fans, he has added a third and final show for Sydney following two sold out Sydney Opera House Concert Hall events. The new date is Wednesday, October 16 at City Recital Hall, Sydney.**

**A Live Nation pre-sale commences Monday, September 16 at 11am, running for 24 hours. **

With a career spanning seven decades and a staggering 14 GRAMMY awards, few artists have had more influence on modern music than Herbie Hancock. The creative force behind timeless classics like *Cantaloupe Island*, *Chameleon*, and *Rockit*, Hancock’s genre-transcending appeal and unmistakable style have cemented his status as “today’s greatest living artist,” as extolled by *The Washington Pos*t. As the immortal Miles Davis said in his autobiography, “Herbie was the step after Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk, and I haven’t heard anybody yet who has come after him.”  He has transcended limitations and genres while maintaining his unmistakable voice, amazing audiences across the globe.

This is an opportunity not to be missed – join this icon of modern music as he takes to the stage across Australia and New Zealand through October.
