Following recently announced metropolitan shows at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl and Brisbane’s Riverstage, and a rapidly selling Red Hot Summer Tour, Australian Crawl have added another show to their itinerary.

Performing at the iconic Sydney Opera House Forecourt as part of Live Nation and the venue’s On The Steps series on Saturday, 28 November, the show concludes an incredible reunion run for one of Australia’s most loved bands.

For the special show, Australian Crawl will be joined by special guests Boom Crash Opera, with both bands’ music taking over the Harbour.

The Face to Face and Live Nation pre-sale opens on Friday, 18 September, at 10 am local time, followed by the general sale on Monday, 21 September, at 9 am local time. Head to the Sydney Opera House website for more details.

Led by James and David Reyne, the reunited original members of Australian Crawl will celebrate the group’s longstanding musical legacy. On stage, they’ll be accompanied by performers such as John Watson (Australian Crawl ‘83-‘‘86), Brett Kingman, Josh Owen, Andrew McIvor, Sean Johnson, Melinda Jackson and Nicole Kurta.

Between 1978 and 1986, Australian Crawl delivered era-defying rock and roll anthems, took over the charts, and built a catalogue of classic songs that are part of the cultural fabric of Australia.

Australian Crawl will co-headline the upcoming round of Red Hot Summer Dates with fellow homegrown music icons Men At Work. The line-up is rounded out by an all-Australian roster of artists, including Birds of Tokyo, Vika & Linda, Eskimo Joe, Boom Crash Opera and Ella Hooper.
