Canadian alternative folk-rockers Crash Test Dummies return to Australia in 2025 for the first time since 1992.
The group behind the #1 ARIA Charts single ‘Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm’ are touring in celebration of the 30th anniversary of their classic album, God Shuffled His Feet.
Locking in five dates across the country, the band’s God Shuffled His Feet 30th Anniversary World Tour commences in Perth at the Rosemount Hotel on Friday, March 28. The quartet then play shows in Adelaide at The Gov on Sunday, March 30, The Triffid in Brisbane on Thursday, April 3 and Manning Bar in Sydney on Friday, April 4, before a final gig at Melbourne’s Northcote Theatre on Saturday, April 5.
Pre-sale tickets go on sale this Friday, August 16 at 9:30am local time. You can register here. General sale kicks off Monday, August 19 at 9:30am via Metropolis Touring.
Forming in 1988, Crash Test Dummies broke through in 1993 with the release of their second album, God Shuffled His Feet. A staple of college radio in America throughout the 90s, the band’s commercial appeal dipped in the 00s as Crash Test Dummies went through multiple lineup changes and several periods of inactivity.
In 2017 the original lineup of Brad Roberts, Ellen Reid, Dan Roberts and Mitch Dorge reunited and began touring, receiving glowing reviews from the music press and fans alike. While there has been no talk of a new album, Crash Test Dummies did release a new song in 2023, ‘Sacred Alphabet’, although it failed to make a dent on the charts.
Along with performing the Certified Platinum God Shuffled His Feet in its entirety, the band will play all their other hits and fan favourites, including ‘The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead’, ‘He Liked To Feel It’ and ‘Keep a Lid on Things’.
Catch Crash Test Dummies at The Gov on Sunday, March 30. For ticket details visit Metropolis Touring’s website.
