The 2025 Red Hot Summer Tour featuring Crowded House has become one of the most successful in the festival’s 14-year history.
What began as a regional concert series in 2011 has exploded into a national phenomenon. With multiple sellouts already locked in, the Crowded House-led lineup has turned the 2025 run into one of the hottest tickets on the Australian live calendar.
Both Sandstone Point shows (October 18 and 19) and both Mornington Racecourse dates (November 29 and 30) have sold out, alongside packed houses in Hunter Valley, Berry, Toowoomba, Southport, Seppeltsfield, and Swan Valley.
That leaves just two shows with tickets still available – Ballarat (Victoria Park) on November 1 and Yarra Valley (Rochford Wines) on November 2.
