Our Favourite Performances
Delta gives viewers a behind the scenes look at the recording of her first song off the upcoming 6th studio album that was released in May 2020 – ‘Keep Climbing’. Delta says, “I’d like this song to remind people to not be afraid to find the strength when they feel stuck between where they are and where they want to go. To find that part in you to keep climbing and to continue to believe that it will lead you to that next moment in your life.”

The Latest
2020 has already proven to be a year full of creativity for Goodrem. In January, Delta was inspired to write ‘Let It Rain’ after seeing the devastation from the bushfires across Australia. She teamed up with Apple Music, Sony Music, and iHeart radio for the release, with all proceeds going to aid with Red Cross bushfire relief. In February she took to the stage in front of 70,000 fans at ANZ Stadium as part of the Fire Fight Australia concert which was broadcast nationally on Foxtel and the Nine Network. Her incredibly moving performance of ‘Let It Rain’ was included in the resulting release of Artists Unite For Fire Fight: Concert For National Bushfire Relief.
In April, Global Citizen together with Lady Gaga reached out and invited Goodrem to perform as part of the online One World: Together At Home festival in support of the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization. Delta was the only Australian artist performing from Australia with the event capturing over 270 million viewers tuning in around the world. On Anzac Day, Delta was one of four hosts on the Music From The Home Front live music event broadcast on the Nine Network, and performed ‘Down Under’ with Men At Work’s Colin Hay.
Delta’s new single, ‘Paralyzed’ is out worldwide on July 17 and here is what it’s about:
“This song is a narrative of when your whole world stops and has to be reset. Sometimes we are forced to take the difficult cards we are dealt with in life, in our stride. Of course it’s a personal song, but this is a song for anyone who can relate to pressing pause, finding patience and a chance to stop and rewind. Let the music do the talking” – Delta Goodrem.
Delta Goodrem has just announced her very own Bridge Over Troubled Dreams Tour coming to Australia & New Zealand 2021.
She says: “There’s nothing like being on tour and being with people face to face and to share in the magic of live music. Nothing gets me more excited than creating a world for everyone to come to. Visually, I love to make sure a tour represents the energy of what this new album embodies. There are going to be incredible musical moments in bringing to life the surprise elements of this new album and all of the favourites from my previous records. Anyone who has been to my shows knows that I like to have a lot of fun and this record and tour is no different. I want to invigorate and empower everybody in the room to have the best night of their lives and we’ll sing and dance through it all”
