The Living End Australian Tour

The Living End are thrilled to announce that they will embark on a unique and ambitious tour this year. The Retrospective Tour will see Australia’s legendary rock’n’roll sons play each of their six albums in full, back-to-back, start to finish, across 35 shows in five capital cities: Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. 

This will be the very first time each album has been performed live from start to finish, and the feat will almost certainly be the first time any Australian band has undertaken such an inspired tour. The Retrospective Tour will not take in stadium-sized venues either. Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and of course Melbourne will get seven shows across seven nights in intimate club venues, each with a limited capacity. Seven shows and only six albums, you ask? Well, their eponymous Australian classic album The Living End will get two airings in each city.

The idea of The Retrospective Tour is to give a big TLE-style ‘thank you’ to all those fans who have bought the albums, come to shows, shown their support and been intensely loyal to the band over the past 15 years. There is something there for everybody, whether you are a die-hard fan of the seminal self-titled album or fell prey to the hard-rockin’ riffage presented on The Ending is Just the Beginning Repeating, or something in between. This will be the fans only chance to watch TLE pull out their most memorable, fiery live shows, performing some never-played-before favourites alongside career classics.

This is an adage often bandied about, but The Retrospective Tour truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity for fans to relive their favourite portions of The Living End’s illustrious career (or all of them). Best be poised to secure tickets early and get retrospective come the end of the 2012.
