Powderfinger, the beloved Brisbane-based rock band, has announced a highly anticipated comeback tour, marking their return 17 years after their initial breakup. The group confirmed their reunion last week and will commence the tour with four nights in their home city next September. Following their Brisbane dates, they are scheduled to perform 14 additional shows in Cairns, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, and Melbourne.
All concerts will be staged within a distinctive "stadium sized big-top" tent, creating a unique atmosphere for fans. The band expressed their "ecstatic" feelings about reuniting and playing again, noting that past opportunities never felt right until now. They acknowledged the enduring support of their long-term fans and the new ones eager to see them live.
Powderfinger released seven studio albums during their career. Their 2000 album, 'Odyssey Number Five', was celebrated by listeners of ABC's Triple J as the best Australian album of all time in 2011. The album featured the hit single "My Happiness," which also ranked highly on the station's list of best Australian songs. Since their split, frontman Bernard Fanning has pursued a successful solo career.
