Their Australian tour will showcase their signature sound and progressive musicianship that defined their rise and with a setlist stacked with classics including ‘Lessons in Love,’ ‘Something About You,’ ‘Running in the Family,’ ‘Hot Water,’ and ‘Love Games’, it offers fand a rare opportunity to witness one of the greats in action.
