Icehouse to Celebrate 40 Years of ‘Man of Colours’ With 2027 Australian Tour
The band's first indoor headline tour in over two decades will see them perform their best-selling 1987 album in full in mid-2027.
Icehouse will commemorate the 40th anniversary of their iconic album 'Man of Colours' with a 2027 Australian tour that serves as their first indoor headline performance in over two decades. In June and July 2027, the Australian rock band fronted by Iva Davies will present 'Man of Colours' in its entirety, featuring tracks never previously performed live, alongside a selection of enduring fan favorites.
Davies commented, "We’ve never played some of the songs from the album, so this tour will introduce firsts for both us and our supporters." The six-date itinerary commences at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre on June 5, progressing through Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and concluding in Perth on July 10. Fan-club and PayPal presales commence on September 16, with general admission tickets going on sale on September 18 via TEG Live.
Guest artists will be revealed closer to the event. In addition to the album, the performances will showcase classic Icehouse hits like "Great Southern Land," "Hey Little Girl," "We Can Get Together," and "Love in Motion." The landmark record 'Man of Colours,' released in September 1987, represented the peak of Icehouse's commercial success.
The band's fifth studio album topped the Australian charts for 11 weeks and reached number one in New Zealand, ultimately selling over a million copies. It garnered ARIA Awards for Album of the Year and Highest Selling Album in 1988. 'Man of Colours' also secured Icehouse's most significant U.S. hit with "Electric Blue," co-written by Davies and John Oates of Hall & Oates, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 and became their highest-charting single in the United States.
"Crazy" reached No. 14 on the Billboard charts. Together, these hits propelled 'Man of Colours' to No. 43 on the Billboard 200.
