Message from Candlebox

“I can’t believe after 30 years we’re actually coming to Australia to play,” the band’s Kevin Martin said in a message to fans. “What better way to wrap up an illustrious 30-year career than with all you beautiful Aussies on our Long Goodbye Tour, we are beyond excited.

“We have been trying to get to Australia since 1993 and it’s finally happening, I can’t believe it, can’t stand still, so excited.”

The band rocketed to fame in the early ’90s off the back of their self-titled debut album, which spawned enduring hits like ‘Far Behind’ and ‘You’.
