Classic rock band America is set to return to tour Australia in May 2015, playing their greatest hits collection for their loyal fans.
The band had a string of hits the 70’s including ‘Horse With No Name’, ‘Muskrat Love’ and ‘Sister Golden Hair’ and ‘Ventura Highway’.
“We cannot wait to return Australia! Our fans in Australia have always been so supportive of the band; it will be a thrill to play for them again. There’s nothing like seeing thousands of fans singing along to the hits we created,” said founding member Gerry Beckley.
Band mate Dewey Bunnell was equally excited about returning to Australia.
“Australia is one of our favourite places to visit so it is very exciting to return. I hope our Aussie fans are ready to have some fun – this tour is for them!” said Bunnell.
The band’s most recent album ‘Here and Now’ was released in 2007 and featured collaborations with Ryan Adams, Jim James, Ben Kweller and Patrick Hallahan from My Morning Jacket. Much of the album was produced by former Smashing Pumpkins member James Iha.
America will kick off their Australian tour at HBF Stadium on Saturday May 9 before heading to Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast. Tickets going on sale from Monday November 24, 2014.
Supporting America on their Australian visit is Grammy nominee and Brit Award Winner, singer Sharon Corr from the hugely successful Irish group The Corrs. Now a solo artist, Sharon has released two albums ‘Dream Of You’ and ‘The Same Sun’.
