Powderfinger Will Reunite For 2027 Tour
The Australian rock juggernauts will hit the road for a run of concerts, their first in almost two decades.
Powderfinger, the acclaimed Australian rock band, will reunite for a concert tour in 2027, their first in nearly two decades. The announcement was made on Friday, October 9, via a video featuring all five members of the band: Bernard Fanning (vocals), Ian Haug (guitars), Darren Middleton (guitars), John "JC" Collins (bass) and Jon Coghill (drums).
Fanning stated, "We always said that if we were going to get back together to do some shows, that you guys would be the first to know." The tour will take place across Australia starting in September next year, with further details announced on October 12. The reunion has been eagerly anticipated by fans, who had been hoping for a proper tour after a cryptic teaser campaign.
The band, originating from Brisbane, has earned 18 ARIA Awards and released five successive No. 1 albums, with their final studio album, Golden Rule, released in 2009. The band last performed together in 2010 with a Sunsets tour, selling over 200,000 tickets. They had a brief reunion in 2020 for a virtual concert and a special event marking the 20th anniversary of their album Vulture Street.
The timing of the tour suggests the band may be preparing for their ARIA Hall of Fame induction, typically held in November at the ARIA Awards.
