Human Nature will celebrate two decades of their tribute album with a national tour and will perform to Perth fans in April next year.

The tour is set to relive the timeless sound of Reach Out, The Motown Record album released in 2005 and featuring hits from Smokey Robinson The Supremes and Stevie Wonder.

The Aussie quartet consisting of Toby Allen, Phil Burton and brothers, Andrew and Mike Tierney will kick things off in Newcastle on March 22 before hitting up Wollongong, Hobart, Melbourne and Adelaide.

They will play at Perth’s RAC Arena on April 5.

The final gigs will take place on the Gold Coast and Brisbane before wrapping it up in Sydney on April 11.

Ahead of the tour, Allen said: “We’re absolutely buzzing to bring this show to our Aussie fans.”

”Motown holds such a special place in our hearts, and we know this 20th-anniversary tour will be an incredible celebration of music, memories, and all the love from our fans over the years.”

The live experience is set to be filled with hits from all three of the group’s chart-topping Motown albums and beyond.

Fans can expect a setlist packed with favourites like My Girl, Baby I Need Your Lovin’ and I’ll Be There alongside their chart-toppers.

Joining the group on tour for a special duo performance will be The Tierney Brothers, who are set to captivate the audience with original songs from their upcoming debut album set for release early next year.

Human Nature will also visit WA in October for the Telethon weekend on October 19 and 20 helping to raise money for sick and vulnerable children across the State.

There’s no doubt Burton will put his slick dance moves to the test again after being crowned the Dancing With The Stars winner of 2023.

No stranger to success, the group has achieved seven platinum and nine gold awards, four no.1 albums, 11 top 10 albums in Australia and a no.1 on the Billboard Heat Seekers Chart.

Not to mention, all four members were awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2019 for their services to the entertainment industry.

Formed in 1989 in Sydney, they’ve since shared stages with legends like Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, and even performed for four billion viewers at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

They made such an impact on Las Vegas that May 11, 2010, was officially declared Human Nature Day by Mayor Oscar Goodman.
