The band’s current lineup features Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, Mitchell Froom, and Finn’s sons Elroy and Liam. Their most recent studio album Gravity Stairs was released last year, produced by the band with Steven Schram. The group’s legendary 1996 performance to over 150,000 people on the steps of Sydney Opera House remains one of Australian music’s most memorable moments.
Angus & Julia Stone have established themselves as one of Australia’s most successful folk-pop duos since forming in 2006. Their breakthrough album Down The Way featured the massive hit Big Jet Plane, which has accumulated over 600 million streams. The sibling duo has released six albums, earned five ARIA Awards, topped Triple J’s Hottest 100, and achieved a number one ARIA Album Chart debut.
The Church continues their legacy as one of the post-punk era’s most enduring bands. Inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2010, the Sydney-formed group remains recognised as one of the world’s greatest live acts, continuing to create music that resonates with audiences globally after emerging from the underground scene decades ago.
Mark Seymour joins forces with vocal powerhouse duo Vika & Linda for the tour, combining 40 years of musical history. Seymour formed Hunters and Collectors in 1980, with the band’s 1985 album Human Frailty becoming one of the eighties’ most important and enduring records. As a solo artist, he has released nine studio albums, with The Boxer arriving in 2024.
Vika & Linda represent one of Australia’s most beloved vocal duos, having sung together their entire lives. Beginning in church before reaching the charts, they released three classic albums with the Black Sorrows before pursuing their own path with eight studio albums, two live albums and a chart-topping anthology. They have contributed to number one albums by Paul Kelly, Kasey Chambers and John Farnham.
The Waifs complete the lineup as one of Australia’s original independent folk heroes. The group built their reputation through extensive touring across regional Australia before achieving multiplatinum sales and multiple ARIA Awards. Their eight studio albums span from their 1996 self-titled debut through to 2017’s Ironbark, establishing them as proudly independent artists over 30 years.
Presales begin 3 June at 9am for Red Hot Summer Tour and Ticketmaster subscribers, with ANZ Circle presales also available for eligible cardholders. General public sales commence 5 June at 9am through Ticketmaster.
