A constant of Australia's musical landscape, living treasure Paul Kelly and his band will embark on 24-date regional, east-coast tour this July-August.
Set to bypass the eastern capital cities (except Hobart), Kelly will travel to larger regional centres such as Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Bendigo, Geelong, Ballarat, Wollongong and Newcastle.Other destinations include a Far North Queensland run plus extensive trips into the Victorian and New South Wales bush (Warrnambool, Meeniyan, Merimbula, Forster, Tamworth).
"The band and crew, and I have really missed each other over the last 18 months as shows after shows were first postponed then cancelled," Paul says.
"We put our toe in the water with a one off New Year's Eve performance for TV, but now we're really looking forward to stretching out and playing music night after night.
"We want to see the whites of your eyes, you lovers of sound, joy and fury; we want to charge the air around us and change each other and send you home singing into the night."
The ARIA Hall Of Fame inductee will be joined on stage by his band: Vika and Linda Bull, Bill McDonald, Peter Luscombe, Ash Naylor and Cameron Bruce.
Tickets go on sale from 20 May. More information.
