Crowded House announce Gravity Stairs tour

Multi-platinum selling rock band Crowded House have announced an Australia and New Zealand tour in support of their new album, Gravity Stairs, which will be released on Friday, May 31.

The tour lands in Perth for a concert at Kings Park and Botanic Garden on Friday, November 29.

“So looking forward to getting amongst our people having practiced on the northern hemisphere for a few months,” said Neil Finn. “The band will be running hot and we can’t wait to sing with you and elevate our collective spirits. Sing it if you want to be a part of Some Greater Plan.”

Produced by the band with Steven Schram (Paul Kelly, San Cisco), Gravity Stairs shows Crowded House in its current incarnation—Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, Mitchell Froom, and Finn’s sons Elroy and Liam.

Speaking about the album title Gravity Stairs, Neil Finn says the name was inspired by an unnaturally heavy stone staircase near where he vacations. “The Gravity Stairs are symbolic of the struggle to ascend, acknowledging the opposing forces of weight on the mechanics of living. It’s an act of will every day.”

Crowded House have sold over 15 million records worldwide as well as earning 13 ARIA Awards, an MTV VMA, and a BRIT Award, the band have generated billions of streams, consistently sold out tours on multiple continents and have been captivating audiences for nearly four decades.
