Metropolis Touring presents
The Church is performing in Darwin for the first time ever.
Formed many lifetimes ago (well, 1980), The Church has rightfully earned a revered place in Australian rock music history, along with a thoroughly deserved spot in the ARIA Hall of Fame. The Church continues to create timeless music that resonates deeply with audiences worldwide. From their early days in Sydney’s underground scene to their global success, The Church remains one of the most innovative and enduring bands of their - or any - era.
Everyone knows the ethereal majesty of their iconic hit 'Under the Milky Way' (featured everywhere from the moody cinema masterpiece Donnie Darko to AFL Grand Finals and car commercials), but behind Milky Way lies a rich catalogue of emotive songwriting and genius performances.
The Singles Tour marks the first time The Church will perform in this unique format, celebrating their rare guitar brilliance and songwriting innovation. The tour will showcase 20 of their classic singles spanning their entire career, including 'Under the Milky Way', 'Reptile', 'The Unguarded Moment', 'Tear It All Away', 'When You Were Mine', 'Almost With You', 'Electric Lash', 'It’s No Reason', 'Already Yesterday', 'Columbus', 'Tantalised', 'Metropolis', 'The Hypnogogue', 'Ripple', and many more. With their distinctive sound — blending psych rock, atmospheric melodies, and soul-stirring lyrics - The Church promises a performance that will enchant longtime fans and captivate new listeners alike.
Guaranteed to be a timeless, transcendent experience - join The Church as they perform their classic singles and celebrate their extraordinary career.
'The Church are super-excited to be finally playing a gig in Darwin. It’s taken 45 years to get there but it’s gonna be a very special evening!' Steve Kilbey
