Rob Thomas

Rob Thomas undertook his first solo Australian tour in February 2006, a visit that included 9 sold-out arena  dates. As the front man of Matchbox Twenty and as a solo artist, Rob has toured Australia 6 times, most  recently in 2008, with total ticket sales now well in excess of 350,000 nationally. 

Thomas embarked on a solo career with the 2005 album release Something To Be. Fuelled by the #1  worldwide smash hit Lonely No More, This Is How A Heart Breaks, and Ever The Same, the album went  #1 here and in the US, and hit multi-platinum sales.

Last month, his follow up album Cradlesong was released. The album went straight into the top 5 on the ARIA  album chart and hit #3 in the Billboard Top 200, and features the hit single Her Diamonds, a multi-week # 1  airplay hit in Australia.

The Grammy Award winner has his name on an impressive number of smash hits including US #1s Push,  3AM, If You're Gone, Bent, How Far We've Come, the Carlos Santana hit Smooth, as well as on other major  tracks such as Real World, Back 2 Good, Little Wonders, Mad Season, and Bright Lights.

"The reason I do what I do is because I have all these songs that are always building up in my head, so it's  really cathartic to get a load of them out into the world and start over again," Thomas says. "And the solo  career is a really important way for me to do that." 

Thomas hits Australia after a solid two-month U.S. tour so will be in red-hot form!
