RED HOT SUMMER TOUR is thrilled to present a spectacular line-up for their massive 2025 summer outdoor shows. The next series will be headlined by one of the world’s most iconic and spellbinding bands, Crowded House. They will be supported by a stellar all Australian line-up featuring Angus & Julia Stone, The Church, Mark Seymour with Vika & Linda and The Waifs.
It’s going to be a busy summer for Crowded House, who will not only headline RED HOT SUMMER dates but also SOUNDS BY THE RIVER on the magnificent grounds of Mannum Golf Club with Angus & Julia Stone, The Cruel Sea, Mark Seymour with Vika & Linda and The Waifs and LEGENDS ON THE LAWN in Mackay with Angus & Julia Stone, Mark Seymour with Vika & Linda, The Church, and The Waifs.
Crowded House have sold over 15 million records worldwide as well as earning a Brit Award, 13 Australian ARIA Awards, 3 Aotearoa Music Awards and an MTV VMA, the band have generated billions of streams, consistently sold-out tours on multiple continents and have been captivating audiences for nearly four decades. Originally founded by Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, and the late Paul Hester, the group’s self-titled debut in 1986 went platinum, uplifted by worldwide smashes “Something So Strong” and “Don’t Dream It’s Over” which has been covered by everyone from Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande to U2, among others.
In 1996, the group delivered a legendary performance to an audience of over 150,000 on the steps of the Sydney Opera House, beginning a hiatus that finished in the wake of Paul’s passing in 2005. This led to albums Time on Earth (2007) and Intriguer (2010) and a return to the Sydney Opera House for four unforgettable nights. 2018 saw Neil join Fleetwood Mac as a full-time member, canvassing the globe on a massive world tour. Two years later, he and Nick led another era of Crowded House, forming the band’s current line-up. They issued their first full-length offering in eleven years, the unanimously acclaimed Dreamers Are Waiting (2021) and the band leapt into a rapturous world tour in support. From joining his brother Tim in the New Wave favourites Split Enz to leading Crowded House to his numerous solo efforts, Neil’s varied body of work is connected by his knack for penning meticulous, indelible melodies and impressionistic lyrics that demand multiple listens. It’s earned him devoted fans all over the globe.
Crowded House released their eighth studio album ‘Gravity Stairs’ last year to rave reviews. Produced by the band with Steven Schram, the album showcases the band in its current incarnation — Finn, Nick Seymour, Mitchell Froom, and Finn’s sons Elroy and Liam.
To celebrate the announcement of this incredible summer line up, headlined by Crowded House, Australian Musician editor Greg Phillips caught up with Crowdies’ lead guitarist Liam Finn to chat about the tour, the band’s upcoming new album, Liam’s own solo album Hyperverse (out June 20) and more.
