Hoodoo Gurus Announce 45-Year Anniversary Tour
In a celebration like no other, Australian rock legends Hoodoo Gurus are hitting the road for their Rewind Tour – All Killer, No Filler. This tour marks a significant milestone, commemorating 45 years since the band was formed. Instead of a documentary or a box set, the band is opting for what they do best: delivering a live performance filled with iconic hits that defined a generation.
Tour Highlights and What to Expect
Scheduled for November and December this year, the Hoodoo Gurus’ Rewind Tour promises to be a nostalgic journey through their extensive catalogue. Frontman Dave Faulkner has shared that the focus will entirely be on singles — those chart-toppers that fans have loved over the years, as well as some cult favorites that didn’t get the recognition they deserved at the time.
“We’ve often been described as a ‘singles band,’ so we’re fully leaning into that notion for this tour,” Faulkner mentioned. “Expect hits, misses, and everything in between, as we strive to play all 42 of our singles at least once during this tour.”
Classic Hits and Fan Favorites
Fans can look forward to classics such as What’s My Scene, Like Wow – Wipeout!, Come Anytime, and Bittersweet. Not to mention some hidden gems like Axegrinder, which despite initial radio resistance, has transformed into a beloved fan favorite over the years.
Support Acts for the Tour
Adding to the excitement, iconic Sydney band Ratcat will join Hoodoo Gurus for the entire tour, celebrating their own 40-year legacy in the Australian music scene. Known for hits like Tingles and Blind Love, Ratcat brings a scrappy charm that complements the Gurus’ rock sound.
Opening for the tour will be Perth garage-rock stalwarts The Stems. Their long-standing relationship with Hoodoo Gurus stretches over four decades, and lead vocalist Dom Mariani expressed excitement about being part of this significant tour. “I’ve always admired the Gurus, not only for their remarkable music but for their lasting impact on the Australian music scene,” he shared.
The Band’s Legacy and Continued Relevance
As one of the few Australian bands whose catalogue resonates across generations, Hoodoo Gurus have cultivated a diverse fanbase. Those who grew up listening to their music continue to pass it down, while younger fans are discovering their extensive collection for the first time. This tour is not just about reliving memories; it’s about celebrating a legacy that remains vibrant and relevant.
