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.

More of the Crowded House Red Hot Summer shows have sold out with Toowoomba and Southport, Queensland calling ‘Full House’.
