It’s been 15 years since veteran songwriter John Mellencamp last made the trek down under, but he’s set to make a triumphant return this November. Sheryl Crow is joining him as a special guest.
While this tour comes off the back of his new album Life, Death, Love & Freedom (out here 12 July through Universal), Mellencamp is sure to journey through his extensive back catalogue of hits. He’ll be flanked by his faithful touring band, including his guitarist of 30 years Mike Wancic. For fans of Sheryl Crow, this visit has been a long time coming too. The hitmaker last toured in 1997, when she was doing big business on the charts. To sweeten the deal, Shane Nicholson (he of Kasey Chambers-marrying and acclaimed album-making fame) is locked in for all the indoor shows.
John Mellencamp lands in November, with high-profile friends in tow. Tickets go on sale for all events on Monday 7 July.
