The ARIA Hall of Famer has added extra dates to his Fall of Crawl tour, with Boom Crash Opera joining as support across the country.
Forty years ago, Australian Crawl called it quits. Now James Reyne is taking those songs out for one last commemorative lap around the country, and demand has been strong enough that he’s just added a fresh batch of dates to the Fall of Crawl tour.
Melbourne, Thirroul, Gosford, Canberra, Hobart, Toronto and Sunshine Coast have all been added to what was already a hefty run of shows kicking off in January.

The Fall of Crawl tour marks four decades since Australian Crawl wrapped up in February 1986. Reyne is treating the run as a celebration of everything that came before, taking the catalogue that soundtracked countless Australian summers and giving it a proper send-off. Boom Crash Opera will join as support across the tour, with 1927 and Models also appearing on select dates.
Reyne has also dropped a new video for Going Back to Nashville, a country-rock number inspired by his tours with the late Tony Joe White. The track is packed with nods to Nashville icons and lore, namechecking everyone from Tom T. Hall to George and Tammy, Porter and Dolly. The video, directed by Colin Renshaw, leans heavily into American wild west and classic country film imagery.
Across his career, Reyne has notched up 19 Top 40 singles including six Top 10 hits, plus 11 Top 10 albums. He was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 1996 as part of Australian Crawl.
