Following the announcement on the weekend of their forthcoming appearance at the AFL Grand Final, iconic Australian band Goanna have announced an extra show of their Spirit of Place 40th Anniversary tour, which is set to resume this weekend with shows in Newcastle and Sydney before heading to Western Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, the ACT, NSW’s South Coast, and South Australia before the end of the year.
The additional show of Goanna‘s tour has been announced for their old hometown of Geelong. It will take place at Costa Hall on Friday 18 November. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Thursday 15 September at https://geelongartscentre.org.au/whats-on/all-events/goanna/
The new show follows the recent addition to Goanna‘s tour of a guest appearance on Midnight Oil‘s last ever WA show (Sun Sep 25 – Nikola Estate, Perth), a Goanna headline show at the Freo Social (Mon Sep 26) and, to finish their Spirit of Place 40th Anniversary tour in good company, an appearance at the recently announced Harvest Rock festival in Adelaide (Sat 19 Nov).
Goanna will perform with special guests First Nations artists Christine Anu, Emma Donovan, Tasman Keith and William Barton as part of the Half-Time Entertainment at the 2022 AFL Grand Final at the MCG on Saturday 24 September.
Additionally, Goanna‘s “Let The Franklin Flow” features prominently in Franklin, a feature-length documentary about Australia’s most significant environmental campaign: the battle to save Tasmania’s World-Heritage listed Franklin River from being dammed by a hydroelectric project in the early 1980s. Franklin is in Australian cinemas now.
Goanna have also announced support acts for their tour with sensational artists joining them at every stop on the road. The list includes long-time fan Troy Cassar Daley in Sydney, legendary No Fixed Address drummer/singer Bart Willoughby in Melbourne, and Warumpi Band songwriter/guitarist Neil Murray in Ballarat.
