Emerging from Sydney’s underground scene in 1980, The Church’s incredible 45-year career has spawned over 25 studio albums, including last year’s Eros Zeta and the Perfumed Guitars, and an ARIA Award for Single of the Year (‘Under the Milky Way) in 1989.
The band has gone through several lineup changes over the years, with the current formation of The Church led by the sole remaining original member, Steve Kilbey. He’s joined by Tim Powers, Ian Haug, Jeffrey Cain and Ashley Naylor.
This is The Church’s second huge tour in as many years, with the band’s 2024 The Already Yesterday Tour a celebration of The Church’s first four albums – Of Skins & Heart, The Blurred Crusade, Séance, and Heyday.
