ICEHOUSE announce new shows on Man of Colours Anniversary Tour – Hobart, Melbourne and Sydney

by

Tickets to ICEHOUSE’s Man of Colours’ 40th Anniversary have gone gangbusters with the Melbourne show now sold out and all other shows selling fast.

Due to demand (we’ve heard you, Tassie!), a new show has been added at MyState Bank Arena in Hobart on Saturday, 31 July as well as second shows in Melbourne at Margaret Court Arena on Friday, 7 August and, with the Sydney show soon to sell out, TikTok Entertainment Centre on Saturday, 14 August.

Tickets to the new Man of Colours tour shows will go on sale at midday today (Monday, 12 October).  An ICEHOUSE Fan pre-sale starts at 9.00am and runs until 11.30am today.

Some special $99.90 tickets will also be available for these new shows. These tickets are spread throughout the best seats in every venue, giving fans the chance to score an incredible view at an unbeatable price.

ICEHOUSE was formed by Iva Davies, the band’s frontman and musical creative force, who led the band to amazing sales levels including 28 Platinum albums, eight Top 10 albums and over thirty Top 40 singles.

Man of Colours was released on 21 September 1987 and was the band’s 5th studio album.  The release went to #1 in Australia and New Zealand, spending the next 11 weeks at the top of the Australian chart, selling over 1 million copies to date and going on to win ICEHOUSE ARIA Awards for Album of the Year and Highest Selling Album. See below for Iva’s recollections around Man of Colours‘ songs, videos and tour.

While many of the songs from the album have become live performance favourites, there are several songs which the band has never performed live and fans will have the first (and likely only) opportunity of hearing the band perform ALL OF THE SONGS FROM THE ALBUM IN CONCERT.

ICEHOUSE is thrilled to announce that their good friends Suze DeMarchi (Baby Animals) and Michael Paynter (Jimmy Barnes, Jesus Christ Superstar, Whispering Jack: The John Farnham Musical) will be joining the tour as featured artists at all shows.

Suze DeMarchi said, “I’m so excited to be joining ICEHOUSE for the ‘Man Of Colours 40th anniversary tour’. Iva’s music has been a big influence on us all and I’ve been a fan since the ‘Flowers’ days and played that cassette in my little green Toyota Corolla KE20 until it was chewed up and spat out!! I hope to see all of you out there for this very special album.  Suze x”

Michael Paynter added, “When I joined ICEHOUSE in 2011, my life and career changed immediately. Little did I know that 15 years later, they would have become my dear family. It is so incredible to be back on the stage with Iva and the gang. I can’t wait to lend my voice to some new surprises and just to be part of performing these great classics again. See you on the road!”

Opening artists on all shows will be announced in the new year.

Photos, artwork and bio information can be downloaded from here and a video sizzle reel is available here.

Tickets to this once-in-a-lifetime musical journey through one of ICEHOUSE’s biggest albums will sell FAST and we recommend fans get in quick before they’re fully sold out.
