Story summary
Powderfinger, an iconic Australian rock band known for hits like Odyssey Number Five, has confirmed their reunion after a 16-year hiatus. The announcement was made through cryptic billboards in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney, which sparked fan speculation earlier this month. On October 9th, the band released a video on social media confirming plans for a national tour starting in September 2024. The tour includes 18 shows across major cities like Brisbane, Cairns, Perth, Sydney, Adelaide, and Melbourne, with the first four nights set to take place at Brisbane Showgrounds from September 3rd to 6th. This marks their return to performing live after disbanding in 2010 and follows years of fan anticipation since their last performance in 2014.
