Crowded House Announce New Hunter Valley Show
Award-winning icons, Crowded House, have announced the news that fans have waited more than 11 years to hear – they will undertake a national Australian tour in April 2022 when they bring their Dreamers Are Waiting Tour here.
The Australian shows follow their New Zealand tour earlier this year, during which they played to packed houses, rapturous audiences and universal critical acclaim, and mark Crowded House's first national tour since 2010 and only their third Australian tour during the last 15 years.
Crowded House is a long-standing and much-loved vehicle for the songwriting talents of Neil Finn. Formed in Melbourne in 1985 out the ashes of New Zealand's Split Enz by Neil, Paul Hester and Nick Seymour, their eponymous self-titled debut album on Capitol Records went on to global success with the hits Don't Dream It's Over and Something So Strong.
Those songs and many that followed are still resonating with audiences today; Don't Dream It's Over, in particular, being one of the most covered songs of the last 30 years. The band's first incarnation lasted from 1985 through 1995, produced four studio albums and enjoyed much success worldwide, becoming particularly beloved for their freewheeling and interactive live shows. This lineup said farewell to the world on the steps of the Sydney Opera House in 1996 with a now-legendary performance in front of 150,000 people.
Crowded House unveiled a new lineup earlier this year, featuring founding members Neil Finn and Nick Seymour, along with producer and keyboardist Mitchell Froom, guitarist and singer Liam Finn and drummer Elroy Finn.
Dreamers Are Waiting heralds a further chapter in the Crowded House story. A new generation has grown up and connected with their songs and will now get to experience the band live as they perform legendary anthems from the band's 35-year career, along with fresh new music.
Catch Crowded House with Courtney Barnett and The Waifs at A Day on The Green Bimbadgen, Hunter Valley, on 24 April 2022.
