Gilbert O’Sullivan is coming back to Australia in April 2025 for his first Australian shows since 2018.
Gilbert O’Sullivan had his first hit in Australia in 1972 with ‘Alone Again (Naturally)’. It reached no 2.
Gilbert then had a string of hits in Australia with ‘Ooh-Wakka-Doo-Wakka-Day’ (no 14, 1972), ‘Clair’ (no 12, 1972), ‘Get Down’ (no 6, 1973), ‘Ooh Baby’ (no 31, 1973) and ‘What’s In A Kiss’ (no 27, 1980).
