A Triumphant Return

Fresh off the success of their acclaimed album Gravity Stairs, Crowded House brought their signature warmth, wit, and world-class musicianship to Australian stages in a series of “Pop-Up Shows” and Red Hot Summer Festival appearances. The band, led by Neil Finn, delivered a setlist that balanced beloved classics with newer gems, delighting long-time fans and new listeners.

The tour began in Cairns on October 8 and rolled through Townsville, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and regional festival locations such as Hunter Valley and Berry, drawing capacity crowds at every stop.

Dual Experience: Intimate and Epic

Crowded House’s Pop-Up Shows offered an up-close experience that fans described as “magical” and “deeply personal.” Meanwhile, the Red Hot Summer Tour sets captured the power and joy of the band’s full-scale festival sound.
