Bublé, who has sold 2 million albums in Australia and scored five chart-topping albums, will play double shows in Sydney and Melbourne.

Frontier Touring has Muse doing five arena stops Nov. 30 to Dec. 13.  Like Bublé, who was introduced to Australia when still an unknown act and had his first chart-topping album downunder, Muse too was introduced to the market back in 2000 with three club shows.

Their albums have sold quadruple platinum.

For the 2013 run, Frontier has teamed Muse with platinum Australian rock band Birds of Tokyo.

Frontier had to reschedule Thirty Seconds To Mars’ August run to March 2014 after a member had to undergo surgery.

Live Nation also had to add three more shows for The Mrs. Carter Show starring Beyoncé ahead of tickets going on general sale in Australia and New Zealand. She now has a total of 13 arena dates Oct. 17 to Nov. 8.
