Crowded House Reveals New Australia Tour with Up-Close Performances

After a year of performing in large arenas, Crowded House is set to take a more personal approach in 2025 with their ‘Pop Up Shows’ Australia tour this October and November. This time, they are choosing intimate venues to connect with their fans in a unique way.

Fans can look forward to a rare chance to see the renowned band in close quarters. “This is Crowded House as you’ve never seen them — up close, personal, and unforgettable,” assures the band’s official announcement.

Tour Details

Presented by Live Nation and Triple M, the tour begins in Cairns on October 8th. It will continue through Townsville, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Byron Bay, and Hobart. This carefully curated series features just seven shows, prioritizing fan connection over crowd size. Attendees can expect the band’s classic hits and harmonious tunes in an environment that enhances the experience.

Ticket Information

Tickets will be available to the general public starting at 2 PM on Friday, August 8th. Pre-sales will kick off earlier that week, including an exclusive Private Universe Artist pre-sale starting Tuesday, August 5th. Additionally, CommBank Yello customers using a Mastercard can access early tickets and preferred seating options. More ticketing details and VIP package information can be found through official channels.

Crowded House’s Legacy

Crowded House has built a remarkable legacy over nearly 40 years in the music industry, selling more than 15 million records globally. Their accolades include a Brit Award, 13 ARIA Awards, three Aotearoa Music Awards, and an MTV VMA. Their songs, such as “Don’t Dream It’s Over” and “Something So Strong,” have become timeless classics that resonate with multiple generations.

The group was originally founded by Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, and the late Paul Hester, with their self-titled debut album launching them into the international spotlight in 1986. Their iconic performance in 1996 at the Sydney Opera House drew over 150,000 fans and remains legendary. Following a hiatus after Hester’s passing, they returned with new music, including Time on Earth in 2007 and Intriguer in 2010.

Recent Developments

In 2018, Finn traveled with Fleetwood Mac on their world tour, but Crowded House soon regrouped, bringing fresh energy and a new lineup. Their album Dreamers Are Waiting released in 2021 marked a triumphant return after a decade-long hiatus, and this year’s Gravity Stairs received critical acclaim.

Whether you’re a long-time fan or experiencing Crowded House for the first time, these intimate shows promise to deliver a memorable experience. With venues designed for a personal atmosphere, it’s a perfect opportunity to enjoy their music in a new light.
