Ahead of the Live at the Fleet Steps show overlooking spectacular Sydney Harbour on 30 September and Night at the Parkland in Brisbane on 18 September, ICEHOUSE has announced the band’s first headline indoor concert tour in over 20 years to celebrate Man of Colours’ 40th Anniversary across Australia in June and July 2027.
Kicking off at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre on Saturday, 5 June, the tour will head to Brisbane Entertainment Centre (Saturday, 12 June), TikTok Entertainment Centre in Sydney (Saturday, 19 June), Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne (Saturday, 26 June), Adelaide Entertainment Centre (Saturday, 3 July), closing out the tour at RAC Arena in Perth (Saturday, 10 July).
With a career spanning over 45 years, ICEHOUSE is one of Australia’s most iconic bands, transcending age groups with their hit songs, well known and loved by audiences across generations. ICEHOUSE has played to sell-out capacity audiences in Australia, New Zealand and throughout the world and have sold over 9 million albums worldwide.
ICEHOUSE was formed by Iva Davies, the band’s frontman and musical creative force, who led the band to amazing sales levels including 28 Platinum albums, eight Top 10 albums and over thirty Top 40 singles.
Man of Colours was released on 21 September 1987 and was the band’s 5th studio album. The release went to #1 in Australia and New Zealand, spending the next 11 weeks at the top of the Australian chart, selling over 1 million copies to date and going on to win ICEHOUSE ARIA Awards for Album of the Year and Highest Selling Album. (See below for stories from Iva around the album)
The album included five of the band’s most requested tracks over the past 40 years – Crazy, Electric Blue, Man of Colours, My Obsession and Nothing Too Serious – with both Electric Blue and Crazy respectively hitting #7 and #14 in the US. See below for Iva’s recollections around Man of Colours’ songs, videos and tour.
While many of the songs from the album have become live performance favourites, there are several songs which the band has never performed live and fans will have the first (and likely only) opportunity of hearing the band perform ALL OF THE SONGS FROM THE ALBUM IN CONCERT.
In addition to Man of Colours, fans can expect to hear a slew of ICEHOUSE’s greatest songs including Great Southern Land, Hey Little Girl, No Promises, Don’t Believe Anymore, Love In Motion, We Can Get Together and more.
