Neil Finn To Play Two Intimate Shows In Sydney And Melbourne

Bondi Beach will reclaim its place as one of Australia's great outdoor music locations in February 2026 when Crowded House headline the inaugural Golden Hour series, the first major concert staged on the sands of Bondi in more than ten years. On Friday 20 February 2026, Sydney's most recognisable shoreline will transform into a twilight stage for thousands of music fans, celebrating summer's close with one of the region's most storied bands.

Angus and Julia Stone, Vika and Linda Bull, Mark and Nick Seymour, Donna Simpson and Vikki Thorn, and Elroy and Liam Finn made for a very family affair at Berry's biggest Red Hot Summer ever.

Liam Finn has announced he will play a free show in Melbourne at Altar Electric in Abbotsford on 28 October.

The 2025 Red Hot Summer Tour featuring Crowded House has become one of the most successful in the festival's 14-year history.

Crowded House have officially kicked off the 2025 Red Hot Summer Tour, launching the season with a Legends On The Lawn event in Cairns on 11 October. The full Red Hot Summer season gets underway next weekend at Sandstone Point, Queensland.

For Liam Finn, songwriting has always been part of his DNA. As the son of Neil Finn, he grew up surrounded by the melodic architecture of Split Enz and Crowded House, but over two decades and countless projects, Liam has carved out his own creative identity - one that both complements and challenges his father's legacy.

In an unexpected, yet profoundly moving moment this past weekend, Kiwi music icon Neil Finn stepped into Aotea Square, Auckland, and lent his voice to a pro-Palestine rally, delivering a stirring a capella performance of “Don’t Dream It’s Over” to a gathering estimated at 300–500 people braving the elements.
