In celebration of their White Heat: 30 Hits compilation reaching Platinum sales status, Sydney new-wave stalwarts Icehouse have announced their Platinum Concert Series, which will make its way across the country in September, before returning in January and February 2015.
Icehouse frontman and sole remaining founding member Iva Davies says, “Live is where we get to really know our fans better. The band members love mixing up the sizes of the venues and the performances so the Platinum Series gives us a chance to get around the country, play the songs everyone wants to sing along to and to throw in a few surprises.”
Speaking on the Platinum sales milestone Davies added, “I’m extremely proud to accept this and put it with the other awards that mark different milestones in my life and the career of the band. This one is very special.”
Over the past three years, Icehouse have performed in front of modest audiences in small clubs, but also tens of thousands at events like Homebake.
Icehouse’s Platinum Concert Series currently has 5 shows slated for September 2014 and 7 between January and February 2015. Icehouse fans will have first access to tickets on Wednesday, 11th June, with tickets going on sale to the public on Monday, 16th June.
More concerts will be announced in the coming weeks, including what the band are calling “other special shows”. Full tour details below.
UPDATE 04/08/14: Due to popular demand, Icehouse have now added two extra February Melbourne shows to their Platinum Concert Series while the show at Ballarat’s Regent Theatre has already sold out. Tickets on sale now, see updated details below.
