The Whitlams take the stage to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their double platinum album, Love This City from 4 October to 7 December 2024. This tour will see shows in capital cities and some regional towns. There is an additional show added in Sydney in January as well as The Gone Coastal tour on the east coast also in January.
Their Musical Legacy of The Whitlams
The Whitlams have been a beloved staple in the Australian music scene for decades. Their album Love This City was the ambitious big-budget follow-up to the award-winning Eternal Nightcap. And last year named number 101 on Rolling Stone’s list of Best Australian Albums of All Time. The album produced famous singles such as “Blow Up the Pokies” and “Thank You (for loving me at my worst)”. Tracks that have become anthems for many.
This upcoming tour will see The Whitlams playing the entire Love This City album in full. Along with a greatest hits set that includes live favourites. But there’s more – this time, they’re bringing a brass section to cover many of the melody lines that were a hallmark of the lushly orchestrated long player.

Tim Freedman joined by long-term cohorts guitarist Jak Housden and drummer Terepai Richmond, who both played on the original sessions back in 1999. Rounded out by new member, multi-instrumentalist Ian Peres. This combination of talent ensures that the band will deliver their usual rambunctious performance. Complete with the added power of brass, making the experience even more exhilarating.
