It should take a lot to surprise the members of Powderfinger, one of Australia’s most successful rock bands of the past 30 years. When the pre-sale opened this week for the band’s reunion tour, the Powderfinger camp was collectively gobsmacked.
“Holy s—!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!,” reads a message from the Finger, whose classic lineup of Bernard Fanning (vocals), Ian Haug (guitars), Darren Middleton (guitars), John “JC” Collins (bass) and Jon Coghill (drums) are on the comeback trail.
When pre-sales began Wednesday, Oct. 14, fans “showed up for us in a way none of us saw coming,” the message continues. “You set alarms, sat in queues and cheered each other on in the comments. Some of you are planning to travel across the country, and some from the other side of the world. After all these years, that means more to us than we can put into words.”
After five consecutive ARIA No. 1 albums, 18 ARIA Awards and three APRA Awards including a brace for song of the year, Powderfinger called time on their illustrious career with The Sunsets Farewell tour, a 34-date national trek in September–November 2010.
Taking its name from the classic song from 2004’s ARIA No. 1 album Vulture Street, the Sunsets jaunt shifted more than 300,000 tickets.
Next year’s tour promises to dwarf it.
The 18 dates announced at the start of last week has now ballooned to 26, and stretches into November 2027, with additional shows locked in for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
“The demand blew us away,” reads the message. “It went so far beyond the presale allocation that we added six new shows across Brisbane, Perth, Sydney and Melbourne, and those tickets flew too.”
Powderfinger’s tour will feature a homegrown support cast, all of them performing under “stadium-sized big top” in central city locations across the country, including multiple dates in Cairns, far north Queensland.
The general on-sale starts from Monday, Oct.19.
