Red Hot Summer Tour Starring Crowded House Adds Two New Shows

Due to extraordinary demand, the crew at the Red Hot Summer Tour have announced two new dates for the travelling event’s upcoming run.

Headlined by Crowded House and featuring beloved Aussie acts such as Angus & Julia Stone, The Church, Mark Seymour with Vika & Linda, and The Waifs, it’s little wonder that two shows have already sold out—a day after the general sale began.

Shows at Bribie Island’s Sandstone Point and the Mornington Racecourse sold out in record time, so second and final shows for both venues—Sandstone Point Hotel on Sunday, 19 October, and Mornington Racecourse on Sunday, 30 November, have been announced. Tickets are now available through Ticketmaster.

You can find all the Red Hot Summer Tour dates below.

Crowded House are touring in support of their latest album, Gravity Stairs, released last May.

Gravity Stairs was made in partnership with producer Steven Schram (Paul Kelly, San Cisco), who watched on as Crowded House’s current line-up – Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, Mitchell Froom, and Neil’s sons Elroy and Liam Finn – produced another set of magical songs.

The album was influenced by a set of heavy stone stairs – figurative “gravity stairs” – near Neil Finn’s favourite vacation spot.

He explained, “It’s a metaphor for getting a little older and becoming aware of your own mortality, your own physicality. Things are getting a little harder, and there’s more determination needed to get to the top, but there’s still the same compulsion to climb them.”
