Australia: Olivia Newton-John at Adelaide Festival this weekend


Having sold more than 100 million records worldwide,  'Olivia' is simply the most successful Australian singer of all time. Add to this the plethora of awards and accolades: four Grammies, an Emmy, an OBE, induction to the ARIA Hall of Fame and a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Her boundless drive, generous character and seemingly limitless talent have left an indelible mark.

Her big break came 10 years later when her debut on the US country charts immediately delivered a top-10 single and her first Grammy. In 1978, she landed a movie role destined to catapult her into super-stardom, playing Sandy in Grease alongside John Travolta. To date, this remains the most successful movie musical in history.

Olivia's appeal seems timeless.

With a career now spanning more than four decades and adored by fans across the world, she is still a vibrant, creative individual who continues to excel in her roles of recording artist, performer, songwriter, entrepreneur, activist and philanthropist.

Backed by the dazzling Adelaide Art Orchestra, Olivia Newton-John will embark on a night of pure delight as she retraces the highlights of her career and the hits that have become the soundtrack to our lives including the exhilaration of Xanadu, the haunting beauty of I Honestly Love You and the raw emotion of Hopelessly Devoted To You.
