Hold Onto Your Hats, Josh Groban Is Coming
- Details
- Written by Rita Braby
We say hats, but we should probably include undies too, because people go nuts for Josh Groban. If you are one of those nuts, then you’ll need to brace yourself for the announcement that Groban will be visiting Australian for a four date tour in April 2016.
Just to give you an idea of the amount of fans Groban has, the word ‘Grobanites’ which is used to describe his loyal fans, isn’t even picked up by spell check. Yep, its spell check approved. Urban Dictionary also has a nice description of a Grobanite that we thought we’d share with you: “A Grobanite can be characterized as a rabid woman or man who enjoys the auricle ecstasy of Josh Groban's harmonious voice. Many of them rampage through the streets in the pursuit of being 'Joshed'.”
We don’t really want to know what being ‘Joshed’ means, but we most certainly want to see him when he hits our shores next year. His most recent album ‘Stages’, released in April, debuted at #6 on the ARIA album chart, #2 on the Billboard 200 chart and #1 in the UK, adding to career sales already surpassing 25 million. To celebrate, he’s going to return to Aus to play four massive shows in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.
