Crowded House 2022 Australia Tour

Update - 17 December, 2021: With their first two Perth shows sold out, Crowded House have added a third Perth concert to the Australian tour.

Update - 10 December, 2021: Crowded House have added second shows in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney, with all existing dates selling fast.

Some 12 years since they last toured Australia, living legends Crowded House will return down under for a headline run of dates in 2022.

The band, who last week took home the ARIA Award for Best Adult Contemporary Album – for their most recent record 'Dreamers Are Waiting' featuring the singles 'To The Island', 'Playing With Fire' and 'Whatever You Want' – will play concerts in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth, plus a day on the green concert at Centennial Vineyards (Bowral) before headlining the Sunday instalment of Bluesfest.

"We are very happy to have won the ARIA for best adult contemporary album. Thank you to everyone that made it happen; can't wait to see you in the flesh Australia," the band says.



"CROWDED HOUSE – CROWDED HOUSE – CROWDED HOUSE!!! This is such a great announcement I have to just keep saying it – and pinching myself," beams Bluesfest Director Peter Noble OAM.

"I am beyond thrilled and excited to welcome Crowded House back to Bluesfest. I have great memories of them, and the sensational live performance they gave headlining the very first Bluesfest at our Tyagarah home back in 2010.

"Crowded House have a trophy cabinet stacked with awards and no wonder, because not only is the Crowded House songbook jam-packed with instantly recognisable songs, but their live performances are an exercise in memorable, anthemic perfection.

"It's an honour to have them return and allow us to host the closing date on their long-awaited Australian tour and it is a great acknowledgement of Bluesfest, as they were scheduled to be headliners on our cancelled 2020 festival."

Fresh from picking up the 2021 ARIA Award for Best Rock Album, Middle Kids will support Crowded House in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney; with The Teskey Brothers joining Crowded House for the a day on the green concert.

Tickets on sale from noon (local time) on 10 December. More information.
