POWDERFINGER
Last Ever Performance Available Exclusively on iTunes

Today pre-orders of Powderfinger’s last ever performance are available exclusively on the Australian iTunes store.

The live recording of their final show on 13 November at the Riverstage in Brisbane, will be available on iTunes approximately twelve hours after the curtain drops on the bands remarkable career.

Over 290,000 tickets have already been sold across 35 shows in 21 different cities on the colossal tour, resulting in a whopping 24 sold out dates so far! With only a handful of shows around the country still having tickets available, it seems that many unlucky fans missed out on their opportunity to farewell this iconic Aussie band. But while the sun is indeed setting, there are still a few rays of sunshine on the horizon. Powderfinger has recently released additional tickets to their sold out shows at Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne (10 & 11 September) and Supreme Court Gardens, Perth (22 & 23 September). The ‘Sunsets Tour’ kicks off in Newcastle today.
