Crowded House
Don't dream it's over any longer! Australian indie rockers Crowded House are hitting the road this fall for limited dates. The band has enjoyed great success over the years, selling over 15 million albums worldwide and being inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame. They've recently released the single "Oh Hi," which is included in their latest album, 'Gravity Stairs.' The Fleetwood Mac-inspired 'Dreamers Are Waiting' and we certainly have been!
Violent Femmes
As well known for their infamous feuding as for their ground-breaking punk rock work, Violent Femmes have no trouble showing us why they are one of the best acts in punk as they set off on tour across America this year! They became the chosen soundtrack for angsty teens everywhere thanks to irascibly intelligent anthems like 'Blister In The Sun' and 'Kiss Off'. Don't miss these absolute icons of 90s rock!
Janes Addiction
Get ready for the Janeassaince! Jane's Addiction is back and ready to rock the road once more as they tour with their classic lineup for the first time in 14 years! Consisting of frontman Perry Farrell, drummer Stephen Perkins with bassist Eric Avery and guitarist Dave Navarro, the alt-rock icons will be joined by Love & Rockets for this super exciting return.
Hot Tuna
Hot Tuna (also the name of an Ozzie surf brand randomly) is made up of co-founders and continuing core members Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, a duo with a unique combination of blues, jazz, bluegrass & folk influences. They've been making music together for fifty years, playing together as teenagers and later in the iconic '60s band The Jefferson Airplane, where Kaukonen played lead guitar and Casady was on bass.
Def Leppard
Titans of the 80's British Heavy-Metal revival and progenitors of contemporary Pop Metal Def Leppard have never let anything stand in their way, even their drummer Rick Allen losing an arm to a car accident. Overcoming this with a custom kit and a new style of drumming, the band surged on to create the album 'Hysteria', which hit 12 times platinum in US sales and sold over 20 million copies worldwide.
Richard Thompson
Richard Thompson OBE is perhaps best known as a founding member of iconic British folk rock outfit Fairport Convention, but still continues to write and perform under his own steam. Described as a classic rock triple threat, Thompson's celebrated solo career has only blossomed thanks to his virtuosic guitar skills, strong and insightful lyrics and mellifluous vocal style. Don't miss the free-wheeling troubadour when he sets out on a handful of dates this year.
