Powderfinger + Silverchair Tour Australia

Silverchair Powderfinger Across the Great Divide

SECOND SHOW ADDED: 23 September on sale now!! Heatseeker + Ticketek

It’s happening, the Across the Great Divide Tour! Powderfinger and Silverchair will perform at Claremont Oval on 22 and 23 September 2007.

Support: Expatriate

PowderfingerThe humongous Spring tour is an opportunity for literally hundreds of thousands of Aussie fans to partake in what will be a huge event in every location it visits. Most regional centres on the expansive itinerary won’t have seen a rock & roll show like this since tours by the likes of Midnight Oil and INXS in the 1980s.

POWDERFINGER and SILVERCHAIR have chosen to use the shows to draw attention to a cause which is close to the hearts of the members of both bands – reconcile.org.au This website fronts a campaign aimed at reducing the 17-year gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous children. reconcile.org.au reaches across the historic divide in respect, trust and understanding to generate a national conversation about bridging the gap.

Silverchair

Tickets available from www.acrossthegreatdivide.com.au or via phone sales call centre on 1300 762 545, usual Ticketek outlets, 132 849 or www.ticketek.com.au, www.heatseeker.com.au, Live Clothing Stores, Star Perth, Mills Fremantle, Beat Karrinyup, Planet Mt Lawley, Star Mandurah, The Prince Bunbury, Blue 62 Busselton, 3 Bears Dunsborough.
$99.90 (inc GST) plus booking fee and any other ticketing agency charges if applicable.

At each show, the groups will play sets of equal length with their full concert production. A special guest artist will open proceedings, then SILVERCHAIR will perform followed by POWDERFINGER.

ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE will be a carbon-neutral event. POWDERFINGER and SILVERCHAIR will be offsetting their carbon emissions associated with the tour (approximately 800 tonnes). They will be doing this through the purchase of accredited and independently verified carbon offsets purchased from a West Australian renewable energy wind farm via Climate Friendly.
