Red Hot Summer Tour: Crowded House and Angus & Julia Stone headline December festival at Sandalford Wines
Kicking off in Queensland in October, the touring music festival will sweep through the East Coast before arriving at the Swan Valley's Sandalford Wines on December 6.
Supporting the Better Be Home Soon hitmakers will be talented siblings Angus & Julia Stone, along with The Church, Mark Seymour with Vika & Linda, and The Waifs.
Originally founded by Neil Finn, Nick Seymour and the late Paul Hester, Crowded House achieved worldwide acclaim for their hits Something So Strong and Don't Dream It's Over.
Sharing the announcement with fans on Sunday, the band said they were 'very excited to hit the road across Australia' and implored followers to 'set your alarms' to ensure they didn't miss out on tickets.
Releasing Gravity Stairs in 2024, the group's eighth studio album showcases the current version of the five-piece band which features Finn, Seymour, Mitchell Froom, and Finn's sons Elroy and Liam.
Duo Angus & Julia Stone — best known for their mega hit Big Jet Plane — are set to remind local fans exactly why their indie folk sound has connected with fans across the world.
Pit-stopping primarily at regional venues, the announcement has prompted hundreds of fans to plead for their hometowns to be considered.
'Why no Tasmania dates,' one person said, with another suggesting, 'Regional Western Australia (Busselton) would've been a better venue' than WA's Swan Valley region.
Others cried out in support of the line-up, labelling it 'amazing' and 'sensational' — while one person suggested Angus & Julia Stone 'should be headlining' the event.
The most recent festival series — which wrapped in March this year — celebrated a host of nostalgic acts including ICEHOUSE, Wolfmother, Eskimo Joe, and Noiseworks.
As thousands of local fans flocked to the Sandalford Wines event in the scorching heat, emerging Perth musician Lizzie Bliss stood out from the crowd and was invited on stage to jam with her idols Wolfmother.
The teen's guitar performance of classic track Joker and the Thief was so well-received, she caught up with the band for breakfast the following day.
'I really thought that I would have been nervous, but there was not a single amount of nervousness in me,' she told PerthNow of her performance.
Ticket pre-sale for the upcoming Red Hot Summer Tour series begins from June 3.

Lotto: Aussie becomes a millionaire after scoring division one prize in Wednesday's Millionaire Medley
Wednesday evening's lotto draw saw one Aussie win big and become an instant millionaire. The Millionaire Medley draw produced one player who won the coveted $1million and, unfortunately for West Aussie ticket holders, they weren't from WA. The winning numbers for draw #4588 were 2, 26, 4, 20, 14, 9 and the supplementary numbers were 39 and 36. In division two, a couple of West Aussie's snagged a handy $5,001.25, while 26 won a less impressive $353.30 in division three. The last lotto win for a West Aussie was when one player from the State had their life changed after winning a share of Saturday's $6m L otto jackpot, and they might not know it yet. It has been revealed the division one winning ticket was a $1.6m win from Saturday's jackpot, sold at The Lucky Charm in Gwelup. Lotterywest spokesperson Zoe Wender said Saturday's winner is not a registered Lotterywest member, so there was every chance they weren't aware of the life-altering win. 'When a registered ticket matches the numbers to a division one prize, the player receives a phone call first thing the next business day to share the good news about their win,' she said. 'We once called a player who was in the car with their whole family, including the family dog. When they found out they had won, the whole family started screaming in excitement, with even the dog joining in. 'Thankfully the owner of the ticket was in the passenger seat and able to catch their breath while the driver turned the car around and came straight to Lotterywest HQ to claim the prize.'
