35x time ARIA nominees and 11x time ARIA Award-winning trio Eskimo Joe will return to the stage for seven theatre performances across Australia in March/April 2022. For the very first time, the band will be playing their iconic albums Black Fingernails Red Wine (2006) and A Song Is A City (2004) back-to-back, each in their entirety… with a few surprises up their sleeve too.

JAMES REYNE’S RESCHEDULED ‘THE BOYS LIGHT UP 41’ TOUR DATES

Australian Crawl’s iconic song THE BOYS LIGHT UP chalked up its 40th anniversary last year. The accompanying tour, delayed by Covid, will return this year in its new incarnation – THE BOYS LIGHT UP 41 – with James Reyne traversing the country from April through to June to mark the occasion.

To launch the new tour dates, James Reyne has penned some words to get everyone in the mood:

“Boys Light Up turned forty just last year
Boy, that’s the year that wasn’t
We had a tour all planned and booked
That became the tour that couldn’t
But we’ve dusted off the covid blues
Crawled from pandemic pit
‘Cause we’re rarin’ all to go
And we’re champing at the bit
So, we’re coming to your town
For the song’s NEW Come-Of-Age
Bring all your bells and whistles
‘Cause we’ll be BLISTERING the stage
There’ll be thrills and skills and spills
As we bring the ROCKING fun
Come one, come all LIGHT UP
‘Cause these BOYS now turn FORTY-ONE!”
