Australian icon Vanessa Amorosi will close this year’s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham alongside homegrown talent Baker Boy and Taylor Henson as their home state of Victoria prepares to welcome the sporting event in 2026.
No stranger to representing Australia on the international stage, Vanessa has previously performed her international anthem ‘Heroes Live Forever’ at the Opening Ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics and the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester. More recently Vanessa also took to the stage at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras where she lit up the Stadium with her feel good smash ‘Absolutely Everybody’.
Vanessa says “I’m incredibly excited to be celebrating Australia and welcoming the world to my home state of Victoria. To be performing and honouring world-class athletes and the spirit of sportsmanship is inspiring to me. It was hugely exciting to perform at the 2002 Manchester Closing Ceremony and I can’t wait to be involved on August 8. What a way to spend my birthday!”
Not one to do things by halves, Vanessa has also just released a brand new single called ‘Good Times Are Coming’. A track speaking to the desire for positivity, finding strength and moving forward. “Shake off this negative feeling,” the chorus chants, “Live your life like it’s your last breath breathing. Hold on until you believe the good times are coming”.
Vanessa explains, “This song is important to me because I believe so many of us feel the same lows. It’s so important to feel connected and to find a positive direction to feel good about moving forward”.
The track was produced by Vanessa and US producer Moe Dizz (KB, Jeanetteikz) and will be released ahead of an upcoming run of shows in Australia.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
