\n\tAs weeks go, it was a \u201cpretty weird\u201d one for Powderfinger. In the best possible way.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs previously reported, the beloved Australian rock band will mount a reunion tour next year, pre-sales for which opened on Wednesday, Oct. 14. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDemand through this week\u2019s presales has been off the charts,\u201d reads an update from the band on Friday (Oct. 16), leaving only \u201ca limited number of tickets\u201d for the general public on-sale\u00a0this coming Monday, Oct. 19. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe 18 coast-to-coast concerts that were initially announced for September and October 2027, quickly grew to 26 with dates extending into November. \u201cAll shows are expected to sell out,\u201d the statement continues.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter a glittering career that produced five consecutive ARIA No. 1 albums, 18 ARIA Awards and three APRA Awards, including a brace for song of the year, Powderfinger called time in 2010 with\u00a0The Sunsets Farewell<\/em> tour, a 34-date national trek.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tA nod to the classic song from 2004\u2019s ARIA No. 1 album Vulture Street<\/em>, the Sunsets jaunt sold more than 300,000 tickets. Few Aussie acts can command that type of box office action.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen the classic lineup of Bernard Fanning (vocals), Ian Haug (guitars), Darren Middleton (guitars), John \u201cJC\u201d Collins (bass) and Jon Coghill (drums) hit the road next year, expect them to crush that final run.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOk. That was a pretty weird week,\u201d remarks Fanning on behalf of Powderfinger. \u201cWe are truly humbled and overwhelmed by the response to the shows we announced. Thank you so much to everyone that sat through the stress of trying to get tickets. We want you all to know that we understand that there is still a huge appetite for people to come and be a part of the tour so we are working on putting more shows together. We want everyone to have an opportunity to come but it will take a couple of weeks to string it all together. Please be patient. We hear you.\u00a0 Lots of love to you all. Choose Kindness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPowderfinger\u2019s tour will feature a homegrown support cast, all of them performing under \u201cstadium-sized big top\u201d in central city locations across the country, including multiple dates in Cairns, far north Queensland, the band\u2019s home state.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn the week since Powderfinger confirmed their return to the stage, the news has grown into a genuine cultural moment, sparking conversation, nostalgia and celebration across the country,\u201d reads a joint update from Powderfinger, Dew Process Artist Management, Cornershop Agency and Live Nation. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor a band whose songs have soundtracked so many Australian lives, it\u2019s a response that has left the band deeply humbled and grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n
