Crowded House Announce Australian Tour With Intimate ‘Pop Up’ Shows

Crowded House are heading back on the road in Australia this October and November, but this time, fans can expect something a little more intimate.

The legendary band have announced their Australia Tour 2025 – Pop Up Shows, a rare run of performances in smaller venues that will bring their catalogue of iconic songs to fans up close.

Trading arenas for atmospheric theatres and halls, the tour will visit Cairns, Townsville, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Byron Bay, and Hobart.

Presented by Live Nation and Triple M, the limited-capacity run kicks off Oct. 8 at Cairns Convention Centre and wraps Nov. 26 at Hobart’s MyState Bank Arena.

Tickets will be available through multiple presales, including the Private Universe Artist presale (Aug. 5 at 12 p.m. to Aug. 7 at 12 p.m.), a CommBank Yello Mastercard presale (Aug. 5–7), a Crowded House Mailing List presale (Aug. 7–8), and a Live Nation presale (Aug. 7–8). General public onsale begins Friday, Aug. 8 at 2 p.m. via livenation.com.au.

The tour follows the band’s sold-out 2024 run in support of their eighth studio album Gravity Stairs, and marks another chapter in a storied career spanning nearly four decades. Crowded House have sold more than 15 million records globally, with their self-titled 1986 debut spawning classics like “Don’t Dream It’s Over” and “Something So Strong.” The band has received 13 ARIA Awards, a Brit Award, and an MTV VMA, and has been streamed billions of times.

Fronted by Neil Finn and co-founder Nick Seymour, the band’s current lineup came together in 2020 and released Dreamers Are Waiting in 2021. Finn’s 2018 stint with Fleetwood Mac introduced him to a new generation of fans before returning to lead Crowded House into a new era.
