Red Hot Summer Tour: Crowded House and Angus & Julia Stone headline December festival at Sandalford Wines
Aussie rock royalty Crowded House is set to lead an impressive list of national talent in the return of popular music series Red Hot Summer Tour later this year. 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.

Crowded House to headline Red Hot Summer Tour in Hunter Valley
Crowded House is headlining an all-Australian Red Hot Summer Tour line-up at Roche Estate in October. They will be joined in the Hunter Valley on October 25 by Angus & Julia Stone, The Church, Mark Seymour with Vika & Linda, and The Waifs. Crowded House, who performed at Newcastle Entertainment Centre in December, have sold more than 15 million records worldwide. Originally founded by Neil Finn, Nick Seymour and the late Paul Hester, the group's self-titled debut in 1986 went platinum, uplifted by worldwide smashes Something So Strong and Don't Dream It's Over. In 1996, the group delivered a legendary performance to an audience of more than 150,000 on the steps of the Sydney Opera House, beginning a hiatus that finished in the wake of Paul's passing in 2005. Albums Time on Earth (2007) and Intriguer (2010) followed, and Crowded House was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2016. In 2018 Finn joined Fleetwood Mac as a full-time member for a world tour. Two years later, he and Nick led another era of Crowded House, releasing their first full-length album in 11 years, Dreamers Are Waiting (2021) and their eighth studio album, Gravity Stairs, last year. Produced by Steven Schram, the album showcases the band in its current incarnation: Finn, Nick Seymour, Mitchell Froom, and Finn's sons Elroy and Liam. Angus & Julia Stone are a sibling singing/songwriting duo whose music spans intimate folk and dreamy indie pop. They have released six albums and their single, Big Jet Plane, earned the group 5 ARIA Award wins and top spot in triple j's Hottest 100 in 2010. It's the same year The Church were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, who remain one of the most innovative and enduring bands of their era. Mark Seymour (Hunters and Collectors) and Vika & Linda will be joining forces for this concert series as a combined ensemble, and The Waifs will be performing three decades of beloved songs.

It's No Secret: Gracie Abrams Hits Three Non-Consecutive Weeks at ARIA No. 1
Gracie Abrams reclaims the No. 1 spot on the ARIA Albums Chart this week with The Secret of Us (via Interscope/Universal), marking its third non-consecutive week at the top, while Australian artist Dope Lemon earns another top 10 debut with his latest release Golden Wolf, which enters at No. 8. Golden Wolf marks Angus Stone's fifth album under the Dope Lemon moniker. The project continues a strong run on the ARIA Albums Chart, following previous entries Honey Bones (No. 11 in 2016), Smooth Big Cat (No. 2 in 2019), Rose Pink Cadillac (No. 2 in 2022), and Kimosabe (No. 9 in 2023). Stone also reached No. 2 with his 2012 solo release Broken Lights and has enjoyed chart success as one half of Angus & Julia Stone, including two No. 1 albums — Down the Way (2010) and Angus & Julia Stone (2014).
