The Living End Announce 2012 Australian Tour 'Retrospective' -- All Their Albums Back To Back!

02 July 2012

Don't you hate it when you go to a concert and want the artist to play particular songs, and they insist on playing everything else except the ones you want? Well never fear, because Aussie rockers The Living End have announced a tour that will tick all the boxes!

The band has announced that they will hit the road playing each of their six albums in full, back-to-back, start to finish, across 35 shows in five capital cities around Australia.

This will be the very first time in history that each album has been performed live from start to finish, and it's certainly the first time we've heard of any Aussie band doing a tour like this!

The Retrospective Tour will not take in stadium-sized venues either, which is another thing we love about it.

Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and of course Melbourne will get seven shows across seven nights in cosy club venues, each with a limited capacity.

If you've done the maths, six albums across seven shows leaves one performance out in the cold. Luckily the iconic classic album The Living End will be performed twice in each city.

So that's it. Your chance to see The Living End up close and personal, playing whatever album you love the most (or maybe all of them!). We wish all artists would cotton on to this idea!

Ticket pre-sale commences Mon Jul 16 at 9.00am (local time) and ending 11.59pm (local time) Wed Jul 18. Fans need to join The Living End mailing list at thelivingend.com prior to 5.00pm on Sun Jul 15 to receive the access password.

If you are keen to see all six albums performed live, the band are offering up THE BIG RED TICKET. This is a one-stop pass to catch every album performed live across six shows, in one neat little discounted package. The Big Red Ticket is available via Oztix from the pre-sale to Thu Aug 02.
