Background and synopsis

In July 2013, Mauboy announced the To the End of the Earth Tour, a national tour presented by Nescafé to celebrate its global 75th anniversary.[1] Tickets for the tour went on sale on 5 August.[1] Mauboy is also headlining a series of Nescafé intimate acoustic sessions in five cities.[1] The tour has been choreographed by Marko Panzic.[2] Mauboy said that her shows will take the audience on a "journey from (her) early career right up to now" and noted that "it's time to look back and then look forward."[3] Mauboy says that the tour creates "one big party atmosphere" and that there will be "fun costumes, an amazing band, it's a big show."[3] Mauboy is playing two shows at the Darwin Entertainment Centre, in her hometown Darwin, and said that it would be "amazing" to have all her friends, family and familiar faces in the audience.[3]

The setlist also includes an encore of "Inescapable" and "Pop a Bottle (Fill Me Up)". The five acts consisted of songs from:[4]

Critical reception

Mauboy has garnered positive reviews and high praise for her To the End of the Earth Tour shows. The first show in Adelaide received exceptional reviews from critics. Matt Gilbertson from Adelaide Now stated, "Jessica Mauboy proves that she has more than what it takes to compete on the international pop scene delivering a truly world class performance", before noting that Mauboy's energy, extraordinary vocals and endearing personality spoke for itself.[5] Gilbertson described Mauboy as "one of Australia's finest female pop treasures" and stated that the whole crowd was on their feet by the end of the night.[5]

Glamadelaide commented that one of the highlights of the show was when the "whole band changed outfits for The Sapphires medley", where Mauboy's voice "absolutely soared".[6] Glamadelaide also praised Mauboy's fashion choices and swift costume changes, noting that she looked fierce in silver leather shorts and a jacket with the letters 'JM 89' on the back.[6] Writers from music blogging site auspOp reviewed Mauboy's Melbourne show and stated that she had "great stage presence".[7] auspOp also noted that Mauboy's renditions of "I Have Nothing" along with "Time After Time" were "brilliant" and the "whole auditorium came to a hush" in the special "moment", before highlighting that Mauboy has done an exceptional job growing up in the public eye.[7]

Of her Sydney show, Yahoo 7 commented that Mauboy is the "hardest working girl in showbiz" and revved up the audience with "confidence and gusto", while also mentioning that her "powerful vocal range was in stunning display" when she sang "I Have Nothing".[8] Yahoo 7 also stated: 'There were at least five fabulous costume changes, from silver space-suit-like numbers to glittery, sparkly dresses, all made in such speed at least one audience member nearby remarked at how bewildered they were that Mauboy managed it.'[8] Clayton Bennett from NT News stated that Mauboy's "double date" in Darwin "didn't disappoint", and that "everyone was keen to see Jess on stage" for her two sell-out shows.[9] Bennett described Mauboy as a "bubbly beauty" and also noted the diversity of the "packed" Darwin audience, consisting of family, friends and fans.[9]

Dannielle Elms from Renowned for Sound commented that Mauboy "wowed" the crowd at her Brisbane concert, before stating: "Her voice was faultless, her style was refined and choreographed and her banter and communication with the audience was sweet, funny and classy."[10]
