Powderfinger Announces Encore Tour Dates

Powderfinger, the beloved Australian rock band, has announced an Encore Run of nine shows, which will see their reunion tour stretch into December 2027, as reported by Billboard.

The tour will feature the band playing in new locations, including two nights at Cornelian Bay Oval in Hobart, Tasmania, and a show at Stage 88 in Canberra. The tour will end with two concerts at the Brisbane Showgrounds.

The Encore Run will be supported by an all-Australian lineup, including Ocean Alley, Violent Soho, and The Living End. Pre-sales for the Encore Run open on November 4 at powderfinger.com, with general on-sale beginning on November 5.

This tour marks the band's first in 17 years, with the classic lineup of Bernard Fanning, Ian Haug, Darren Middleton, John Collins, and Jon Coghill reuniting. The initial batch of 26 shows sold out quickly, with over 300,000 tickets sold.

The tour will partner with Mission Australia, an organization that supports vulnerable people in the country. This news matters to listeners because it provides another opportunity to see Powderfinger perform live after a long hiatus.
