A busy couple of months in Geelong’s live music calendar has become even busier, with Australian music legends Crowded House announcing a show in the region.
Last week the band’s promoter Entertainment announced the band would add three new shows to its Australian Dreamers Are Waiting tour, including an April 23 show at Mt Duneed Estate.
Joining the band for the A Day on the Green show will be Angus and Julia Stone and The Waifs.
The show will be the first in the region for Crowded House’s new line up, which was unveiled last year.
The band will feature founding members Neil Finn and Nick Seymour, along with producer and keyboardist Mitchell Froom, guitarist and singer Liam Finn and drummer Elroy Finn.
They released their seventh studio album Dreamers Are Waiting last June, featuring the singles Whatever You Want, Playing With Fire, To The Island, Love Isn’t Hard At All and latest offering, Sweet Tooth.
The album was awarded Best Adult Contemporary Album at the 2021 ARIA Awards.
The performance will cap off a busy few months for Mt Duneed Estate, which will also host Midnight Oil’s final live performance in the region on March 5.
It will also host Lime Cordiale and its travelling festival, The Squeeze, featuring Thelma Plum, Client Liaison, The Vanns and other Australian bands, on April 16.
A planned A Day on the Green show featuring Rod Stewart on March 19 has been cancelled due to travel restrictions.
Also running over April will be the City of Greater Geelong’s new month-long Surround Sounds Geelong and the Bellarine, featuring Paul Kelly and The Rubens, while the Foo Fighters will play at GMHBA Stadium in a one-off concert next month.
