Plus very Special Guests:
Icehouse
The re-emergence of ICEHOUSE into the touring world has been met with an overwhelming response, one that befits Iva Davies' iconic status. From their recent live performances in Australia, it's obvious the band is in great form and ready to excite fans once again.
This week sees the issue of "White Heat: 30 Hits" which brings together every ICEHOUSE single ever released. The 3 disc set features 30 songs in chronological release order plus a DVD of 32 film clips. The album provides a remarkable journey through the band's career with hits like 'Great Southern Land', 'Hey Little Girl', 'Crazy;' and 'Electric Blue'.
Since forming as Flowers in 1977, Icehouse have won acclaim all over the world and it will be an absolute pleasure to see them in full flight once again during this tour.
Goodshirt
Officially reforming, Goodshirt have to be one of New Zealand's best loved pop/rock acts of the last decade. Their string of impressive hits live on as kiwi music greats and since their hiatus in 2005 they've left a large gap on the local music touring scene. Come along and sing along to songs such as #1 chart topper 'Sophie', 'Place To Be', 'Green', 'Blowing Dirt', 'Fiji Baby', 'Buck It Up' and more. This is a rare opportunity to see Goodshirt play their first reformed gig after far too long....
