Roundhouse Entertainment is pleased to announce Simply Red’s legions of Australian fans will have the opportunity to say a final goodbye when the band’s Farewell World Tour reaches Australia this October.
“Welcome to the final year of twenty-five mind-blowing years,” says Mick Hucknall of Simply Red’s final shows. “What an adventure it has been!”
Simply Red will play their very last concerts here as a series of indoor shows and a day on the green winery events nationally, including Leconfield, Home of Richard Hamilton Wines, McLaren Vale on Sunday October 10. Marcia Hines, Australia’s favourite disco diva and celebrated singer, will be the tour’s special guest. With seven top 10 hits between 1975-1981 and hits across four decades, Marcia was a hugely popular inductee into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2007. She is currently working on a new album “Marcia Sings Tapestry and the Songs of Carole King”, set for release later this year.Joe Camilleri’s Black Sorrows will kick off the concert with their infectious blend of pop/rock and roots music. Joe may be celebrating his 45th year in the music industry but he sounds better than ever! The Sorrows are currently recording a new album so expect some fine new tunes along with hits like ‘Harley & Rose’, ‘Chained To The Wheel’, and ‘Hold On To Me’.
Due to the tour being held slightly before the normal A Day On The Green season, the concert will run earlier than usual. Gates will open at 3.00pm, with Simply Red on stage at 7.00pm allowing the event to finish by 9.00pm.
Simply Red’s classic pop and elegant ballads have provided an uplifting and emotional soundtrack to our turbulent times. The band is saying their farewells all over the world this year after what has been a remarkable 25 years. Their final show will be at London’s O2 Arena on December 19.
When Simply Red toured for a day on the green in early 2009, the sold-out concerts were amongst the fastest selling in the event’s history. Don’t miss the chance to say one final farewell to one of the most successful and acclaimed bands of the modern era.
