Peter Gabriel tour

Tue 1st Jun, 2010 in Local News

Peter Gabriel is set to make “a very quick visit” Australia in November with his band.

In a video posted on his official website Gabriel explains his current European touring plans and notes that “Some people from further a field have asked why we’re not going there. I’m still trying to have a family life at the same time, so I don’t really want to be a road dog and come out on tour even though I’d love to visit a lot more countries.”

Luckily for Australian fans Gabriel reveals that “There is one exception to that rule, which is a very quick visit to down to Melbourne… That’ll be in November with the band. That’s what they would like to see down there.”

The singer has been invited to Melbourne as part of the Melbourne Cup celebrations and mentions that he will also be playing in New Zealand on the tour.

However no dates have yet been officially announced and Gabriel cautions that the tour will be “quick – in and out”, so a full Australian tour sounds unlikely at this stage.

Doesn't sound like he'll do a Sydney show... might have to make a quick trip to NZ :)

Scratch My Back at SOH would be exhilarating. I hope it's possible.

I imagine heaven is like a double bill of Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel.

There is huge chance he will do a Sydney show. Either way i think I will go to Melbourne for the Cup.

If it is a continuation of the New Blood tour here is what to expect.

Is he actually going to play any shows or is he just coming to sing a song at the Melbourne Cup and collect his bag of money?

Sledgehammer would be brilliant in a Scratch My Back style, a pity he's not playing it.

Well he better, I just postponed a trip to China. I could always visit NZ.

That's cool, I don't make a habit of being predictable.

Anyway this brief visit will not be a continuation of the New Blood tour. He is bringing a band. So I'd expect less Scratch My Back and more back catalogue. Which I would prefer anyway.

Oh really, I was kinda looking forward to the whole orchestral thingy?
Sydney Opera House would be perfect for this.
