"February 9, for anyone that’s watching from Australia – I’m coming back to Australia for the first time in eight years. I’m coming back to Australia, on tour. Funny enough, it’s called the Anita Max Wynn tour. Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast… February 9 ’til like… March something... I don’t know, that makes me sound kinda crazy. I love it down there"
