Lionel Richie & John Farnham To Tour Australia Together

Wondering what to get mum for Christmas? Wonder no more! Lionel Richie and John Farnham are teaming up for the greatest show-you-can-pretend-you're-only-going-to-because-you're-taking-your-parents since Hall & Oates did those winery shows with Icehouse last year.

Lionel Richie is a smooth motherfucker who has been responsible for some absolute bangers over the past 40 odd years. Don't believe us? Pour a glass of wine and crank these YouTube clips.

As for John Farnham, Whispering Jack, The Voice… well, if you need us to explain what the big deal is about him then you're clearly struggling to get a grasp on what it is to be an Australian.

Okay, so it's not exactly cool to like Farnsey, but some of us do and here are a couple of choice cuts from his fruitful 80s catalogue (undoubtedly his best period).

These two absolute masters are on the road early next year and tickets are available from next Friday morning; snap them up before a whole stack of other good children do the same for their folks.
