Tom Moffatt announced today that Gloria Estefan will return to Honolulu in January, nearly 12 years after her last public appearance in the islands.

Estefan reached superstardom with the Miami Sound Machine in the 80’s before embarking on a successful solo career. Her latest album, “90 Millas,” was released in 2007 and is the 11th studio release for the singer.

The Jan. 17 show at Blaisdell Arena will be the fourth time she performs in Hawaii, following concerts at Aloha Stadium in 1997 and a sold-out Waikiki Shell in 1988.

Tickets, priced at $65, $85 and $125, go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday at all Ticketmaster outlets.
