Bear Grylls
If you've been wanting some more adventure in your life, here's the perfect inspiration. Bear Grylls – the globally-renowned adventurer, award-winning TV host and author – will return to Melbourne in January 2025, with a show named after his life motto: “courage, kindness . . . and never give up!” The Never Give Up tour will pop up in Melbourne for one night only on Tuesday, January 28 – and it’s set to be a pretty darn inspiring evening. After finding fame as one of the youngest people to climb Mount Everest at age 23, only 18 months after breaking his back in a parachuting accident, Grylls has gone on to become one of the most well-known adventurers in the world. The real-life action man will be starting his Aussie tour in Perth on January 23, before heading to Melbourne, then Sydney on January 29 and Brisbane on February 1. Grylls will be appearing on stage at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre for his event in our city. “I’m really proud to be bringing my live show to theatres across Australia in January. The clear goal is to encourage that spirit of adventure in us, all of us. This tour feels like the right moment to be doing this, where we need to foster the spirit of courage, kindness and never giving up in all of us,” said Grylls. Pre-sale for tickets has already begun, and general sale starts on Thursday, May 9 from 10am. Tickets start at $89 per person, and you can score yours over here. Looking for more things to do?
