Powderfinger fans are in with a real treat, with the band announcing their first theatre shows in eight years. While the entertainment centre tours are always a spectacular, they don’t really offer the personal experience of smaller gigs. These shows will offer that and then some.
Powderfinger will perform two sets separated by an intermission. They’ll rock out for half the show, and strip things back acoustically in the other. Too cool.
“For this tour we’re doing something a little different, something a little more intimate,” Darren Middleton explained to AAP.
But it gets better. Fans can get online and vote for their favourite Powderfinger songs to help the band choose their set list.
Punters are in for a double treat with brilliant Victorian singer-songwriter Whitley providing the tour’s support.
With the band playing smaller venues, these tickets won’t last. Make sure you get yours when they go on sale on Friday 11 April.

6 June 2008 – Lake Kawana Centre, Sunshine Coast
