Jason Donovan has announced a Dublin date for his “Doin’ Fine 25” tour, a celebration of his career in music, theatre, TV and film.

The tour promises to take fans on a journey through 35 years of hits on stage and screen accompanied by his live band.

From April 4 to 6, 2025, the tour will grace Cork’s Opera House, Dublin’s The Helix, and Belfast’s Ulster Hall, promising evenings filled with nostalgia and vibrant performances.

“I’m so pleased we are getting over to Ireland on this tour” Jason Donovan said, announcing the addition of Irish dates to his “Doin’ Fine 25” tour.

“My musical journey has taken me across the globe, but there’s a special joy in bringing the celebration to Ireland, where the warmth of the audience always feels like an embrace.

“My original 1990 tour included Belfast and Dublin dates and they were amongst the most memorable and fun!

“And the Irish know how to party!”

Known for his versatility as an actor, singer, and all-around entertainer, Jason Donovan has captivated audiences worldwide. Doin’ Fine 25 is a celebration following the momentous Doin’ Fine 90 tour, still vividly remembered by fans.

The 1990 tour followed a frenzied few years of success. Jason’s debut single, “Nothing Can Divide Us,” had shot to number 5 in the UK charts in September 1988, followed by the iconic duet with Kylie, “Especially For You,” which topped the charts for 14 weeks.

The hype around Jason Donovan continued with his first solo UK number one, “Too Many Broken Hearts,” and the chart-topping album “Ten Good Reasons” in 1989.

With an armful of awards for his acting and a growing pile of platinum selling records, 1990 proved to be as much of a career whirlwind as Jason released his second album, “Between The Lines,” and continued to dominate the UK charts with singles like “Hang On To Your Love,” “Another Night,” “Rhythm Of The Rain,” and “I’m Doin’ Fine.”

In June of that year, Jason embarked on his “Doin’ Fine 90” tour, performing to thousands of enthusiastic fans in sold-out venues worldwide. Doin’ Fine 25 hopes to invoke some of the memories from that special moment in time.

From pop-mania to the dazzle of London’s West End, Jason took on the lead role in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 1991 production of Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, solidifying his status as a musical theatre legend.

Jason has gone on to star in massive shows like ’The Rocky Horror Show’, ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’, ‘Priscilla’, ‘The Sound of Music’, ‘Annie Get Your Gun’, ‘Jeff Wayne’s ‘The War Of The Worlds’, ‘The King’s Speech’ and ‘Grease’.

With a career spanning over three decades, Jason has amassed a rich catalogue of hits, and “Doin’ Fine 25” is set to be a sensational culmination of his outstanding achievements to date. The tour promises to be a night of unforgettable entertainment and musical memories.

Jason will perform a dynamic selection of his most beloved songs from stage productions plus he will also cover his pop music career, a stream of chart-topping hits – “Too Many Broken Hearts”, “Especially For You”, “Any Dream Will Do” and ‘Sealed With a Kiss” and many more fan favourites.

“I am really excited about this tour,” said Jason.

“My musical journey has been an incredible ride, and I can’t wait to celebrate it by performing the songs that have been such an important part of my life and career.

“It’s going to be a fantastic show, and I look forward to sharing these unforgettable moments with the audience.”
