Dolans Presents have confirmed that Australian band Crowded House will play their rescheduled date Live at King John’s Castle in Limerick on 28th June 2022.
Having sold over 10 million albums worldwide, Crowded House are the one of the most iconic bands to have hit the world stage over the past 30 years.
Speaking today, promoter Neil Dolan said: “We are delighted to have confirmed Crowded House rescheduled Limerick date at King John’s Castle and we look forward to welcoming concert goers for what will sure to be one of the musical highlights of a packed summer events calendar in Limerick city in 2022”.
Crowded House are a band that have entertained audiences around the world since 1985 and Limerick audiences are in for a treat as King John’s Castle forms the perfect backdrop for this summer gig in Limerick city”.
With global hits such as Don't Dream It's Over and Weather With You, the band will play their Limerick date as part of a series of summer outdoor and indoor headline shows and festival slots across the UK, Ireland and Europe - their first proper tour for over ten years.
Founding members Neil Finn and Nick Seymour will be joined by Mitchell Froom, Liam Finn and Elroy Finn as part of the tour.
Those songs and many that followed are still resonating with audiences today, the former in particular being one of the most covered songs of the last 20 years.
Crowded House have been the recipients of 26 Platinum Album Sales in Australia, 16 ARIA Top 50 Singles, 5 Australian #1 Albums, 7 UK Top 50 Albums and 4 US Top 50 Albums. In 1994, the Brit Awards named them International Group of the Year”, he said.
Crowded House’s first incarnation lasted from 1985 through 1995 with 4 studio albums and enjoyed much success worldwide, becoming particularly beloved for their freewheeling and interactive live shows.
This lineup said Farewell to the World on the steps of the Sydney Opera House in 1996 with a now legendary performance in front of 150,000 people.
In 2005 following the tragic death of Paul Hester, Neil and Nick felt emotionally compelled to bring Crowded House back, to put some more good history, as they described it, into the story of the band.
Drafting in new drummer Matt Sherrod and with long time touring member Mark Hart they released the album Time On Earth to critical acclaim and toured the world. Another album, Intriguer, was recorded in 2009.
Crowded House were inducted into the Aria Hall of Fame in 2016, at the same time reprising its Farewell shows at the Sydney Opera House with 4 nights of stunning performances.
Crowded House is a long standing vehicle for the songwriting talents of Finn. Formed in Melbourne Australia in 1985, the band's eponymous self-titled debut album went on to global success.
Following Neil’s surprise star turn and a very successful world tour with Fleetwood Mac, Neil and Nick have been energized and inspired to begin a new chapter in the Crowded House story.
Much like Fleetwood Mac, a new generation seems to have grown up and connected with their songs and now want to experience the band live.
