After less than two years, Air Supply will return to Paraguay on 7 May 2026, marking a swift and triumphant encore to their successful 2024 performance. The legendary Australian soft rock duo announced the news as part of their 50th Anniversary Tour. The Tour is a global celebration of five decades perfecting the art of the romantic ballad. This return speaks volumes about the overwhelming enthusiasm they generated locally.
When Air Supply announces a second visit within such a short timeframe, it confirms what audiences already know: their music possesses enduring power.
A sound that transcends time
Air Supply emerged in Melbourne in 1975 when Graham Russell, an English guitarist, and Russell Hitchcock, an Australian vocalist, created orchestral pop-rock ballads that spoke to universal human experiences: love, loss, longing, and connection. Air Supply’s catalogue, “All Out of Love”, “Lost in Love”, “Making Love Out of Nothing At All”, has soundtracked first heartbreaks and enduring marriages alike. They have sold more than 20 million albums and performed over 5.000 concerts worldwide.
What separates Air Supply from their contemporaries is their refusal to become historical artefacts. Instead of relying solely on nostalgia, they continue creating new work. A biographical film is in development, a Broadway musical adaptation is in progress, and a new studio album awaits release. Even at the golden jubilee of their career, Air Supply pushes forward creatively, refusing to rest solely on their legendary legacy.
The duo’s impact on popular music is immeasurable. Their signature sound, orchestral arrangements paired with emotionally transparent vocals, redefined what soft rock could achieve. Multiple singles reached the pinnacle of the Billboard Hot 100, and their Greatest Hits album alone has sold an estimated 20 million copies worldwide.
The magic of Air Supply on stage
Air Supply’s live experience features a full ensemble led by conductor Aaron McLain, bringing the lush orchestration their music demands. On stage, Air Supply create an experience that is both intimate and grand. Hitchcock’s distinctive voice, capable of extraordinary emotional nuance, carries melodies refined through thousands of performances, whilst Russell’s guitar provides the foundation. The orchestration elevates these songs into something transcendent.
Air Supply’s 2024 Paraguayan performance proved something crucial: their appeal transcends generations. Alongside longtime devotees sit younger listeners discovering the music for the first time. The emotional truth embedded in these ballads does not age. A teenager experiencing heartbreak today finds the same solace in these songs as listeners did four decades ago. Recent global performances at major festivals and arenas confirm Air Supply remains vital performers capable of delivering transcendent experiences.
Why Air Supply matters for Paraguay
For international touring acts, Paraguay typically remains a secondary market. When Air Supply announces a second visit swiftly after a successful show, it signals the country is being recognised as a genuine destination on the global touring circuit.
This reflects Paraguay’s emerging cultural landscape. Asunción audiences demonstrate genuine appetite for world-class international acts, and venues like the SND Arena prove capable of hosting productions of the highest calibre. For Paraguayans who connect with Air Supply’s music, this announcement represents the opportunity to witness two musicians who have dedicated their entire professional lives to their craft. Air Supply’s return underscores Paraguay’s growing prominence as a touring destination for legendary international acts.
