CROWDED HOUSE Dreamers Are Waiting Tour - POSTPONED


Thursday 21 April 2022 7:30pm

Concert /

MELBOURNE, 19 APRIL 2022: CROWDED HOUSE have announced the postponement of the final 4 dates on their Australian Dreamers Are Waiting Tour, as Neil Finn tested positive to COVID-19 yesterday and is now self-isolating.

Neil Finn said, “I am absolutely crushed to have to postpone the last 4 shows of our Australian tour as I tested positive yesterday morning for Covid. In these very difficult conditions for touring, we were staying in our bubble and observing very strict protocols but somehow the virus still slipped through. I am relieved to be only experiencing mild symptoms at this stage and grateful for the protection that my triple boosted vaccination is providing.

I am so sorry to disappoint our fans this coming week, but rest assured we will be back to make good.”

These 4 shows are: Hobart’s Mystate Bank Arena tonight, Canberra’s Royal Theatre on April 21, and A Day On The Green dates at Mt Duneed Estate, Geelong on April 23, and Bimbadgen, Hunter Valley, on April 24.

Rescheduled dates, also including the band’s 3 sold out Perth shows, will be announced soon. All existing ticket holders will be notified of rescheduled dates via the official ticketing agency and are requested to retain their tickets. Original purchases will be valid for the new dates without the need for exchange.

The Dreamers Are Waiting tour has received glowing reviews, with The Guardian saying, “A joyous and long-awaited return to Australia” and The Age saying, “Half concert, half singalong, Crowded House filled the Bowl with love”.

Rescheduled dates for the Royal Theatre Canberra will be advised soon. For further information please contact TICKETEK

Professor Brian Cox, Horizons: A 21st Century Space Odyssey - Sunday 6 November 2022


Sunday 6 November 2022

/

Having set two Guinness World Records with his previous sell-out World Tour, Professor Brian Cox is back with a brand-new live-on-stage show in 2022.

Horizons takes audiences on a dazzling cinematic journey; a story of how we came to be and what we can become. Using state of the art LED screen technology, arenas will be filled with images of far-away galaxies, alien worlds, supermassive black holes, and a time before the Big Bang. What is the nature of space and time? Why does the Universe exist? How did life begin; how rare might it be, and what is the significance of life in the Cosmos? What does it mean to live a small, finite life in a vast, eternal Universe? The deepest of questions will be explored using the latest advances in our understanding of quantum theory, black holes, biology, planetary science, astronomy and cosmology.

Horizons is a celebration of our civilisation, of our music, art, philosophy, and science; an optimistic vision of our future if we continue to explore nature with humility and to value ourselves and our fellow human bein

Brian will once again be joined by co-host of The Infinite Monkey Cage and award-winning comedian Robin Ince.

Royal Theatre - National Convention Centre Canberra (NCCC) - Sunday 6 November, 2022 - 6:00pm

Bill Bailey - EN ROUTE TO NORMAL - Saturday 5 November 2022


Saturday 5 November 22

How did we get here? How do we find our way through this? And exactly who are we again? In Bill’s new show, EN ROUTE TO NORMAL, Bill ponders these and other questions that this moment in history has thrown up and tries to see a way through the strange unreality of our new world. With Bill naming the show before we’d even heard of Covid-19, EN ROUTE TO NORMAL has become not just a funny, heart-warming mix of stories, music and history, but a personal mission to find our way through these strange times!
