Twelve years since last gracing Australian shores, Cliff Richard will be wired for sound when he embarks on a live tour.

The British pop singer on Monday announced Australia and New Zealand dates for his Can't Stop Me Now tour in 2025.

Fans will be treated to a set-list packed with timeless classics such as We Don't Talk Anymore and Devil Woman when Sir Cliff kicks off the tour in Perth in November. 

Sir Cliff says he can't wait to tour Down Under.

The evergreen octogenarian heads to Adelaide for one show before performing two nights in Melbourne and Sydney, and one night in Brisbane before making his way to New Zealand. 

In a video posted online, an excited Sir Cliff said he "simply cannot wait" to see his fans.

"It's been a long time, but I did promise to come back," he said before blowing a kiss to the camera.

"See you then." 

The artist has a deep affinity with Australia, having visited 12 times since 1973 and last touring in 2013.

Sir Cliff has sold more than 250 million records worldwide, securing his place among the best-selling artists of all time. 

Outside of music he is known for his charitable work, which earned him a knighthood in 1995 as the first pop star ever to receive such an honour.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Wednesday.
