Is there any band as quintessentially Melbourne as Crowded House? After forming in our beloved city in 1985, the group put out their self-titled debut album to critical global success.
Perhaps the most well-known track off of that debut album is the surreal ballad 'Don't Dream It's Over', and the group continues to build on that legacy with a brand new album called Gravity Stairs. The multi-platinum selling rock band has sold more than 15 million records worldwide and they’re known for their legendary performance to an audience of more than 150,000 people on the steps of the Sydney Opera House in 1996.
If you're keen to see Crowded House play hits from their 35-year career, as well as tracks from their new album, you're in luck: the band will take the Melbourne stage at Rod Laver Arena in December. Melbourne is only getting a single show compared to two for Sydney and Perth and ours is on Tuesday, December 10. And yes, they’ll be returning to the Opera House – it would be rude not to.
The tour kicks off in Wellington and wraps up in Brisbane after a bunch of stops around the country and across the ditch. Tickets start from $119.90 and you can grab one over here.
