The Hearts On the Run Tour is the sixth concert tour by Australian recording artist Delta Goodrem. The tour visited nine countries in Europe, beginning on 22 August 2023 in Glasgow, Scotland, and concluding on 15 September 2023 in Stockholm, Sweden.

It marked the first time Goodrem headlined a European tour. It took place one year after the 2022 Bridge Over Troubled Dreams Tour, that supported the release of the artist's seventh studio album, Bridge Over Troubled Dreams (2021), and after Goodrem served as the opening act for the Backstreet Boys' DNA World Tour in North America. [1] [2]

The concerts comprised songs from all of Delta Goodrem's previous albums until 2023.

Background

Goodrem announced the Hearts On the Run Tour through her Instagram account on 23 January 2023. [3] Although being her first tour entirely in Europe, Goodrem had recently achieved success touring the continent. In October 2022, she sold out two concerts in London and one in Berlin as part of the European leg of her Bridge Over Troubled Dreams Tour. [4]

The tour was supposed to begin on 4 April 2023 in Dublin, Ireland. However, it had to be rescheduled to the second semester of 2023 after Goodrem received medical advice to go on "strict vocal rest" [5] She stated on Instagram: "I, unfortunately, overused my vocal cords to the point of me having no voice for extended periods of time." [6] [7]

On 16 June 2023 the definitive fourteen dates for the tour were announced. It would be visiting Denmark, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, and Switzerland. [8] Goodrem said on her Instagram page they were "still working logistics" for the Madrid show, but no new dates for Spain were announced. [9] As of the definitive dates, Goodrem shared that the Madrid, Paris, and Oslo concerts had been moved to new venues. [10]

Synopsis

The tour was named after Goodrem's song "Hearts On the Run", a 1980s-inspired single which official release took place in 19 February 2024, after the end of the tour. [11]

The Hearts On the Run Tour setlist included songs from all seven Delta Goodrem's studio albums up to 2023. Goodrem opened all dates with the song "Wings" from the 2016 album Wings of the Wild . The concerts had one encore and concluded with the 2007 song "Believe Again". [12]

Goodrem debuted the song "Hearts On the Run" during the first concert of the tour in Glasgow. Besides her own songs, the setlist included two covers: "Smile" by Nat King Cole and Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time".

Halfway through each of the shows there was an act called "Bunkerdown Session". It was inspired by a series of live performances of the same name hosted by Goodrem on Instagram during the COVID-19 pandemic. [13] During this act, the artist performed songs requested by the audience, including "Fragile" from the album Mistaken Identity and the b-side "Take Me Home".
