Collaborating with Lime Cordiale on these once-in-a-lifetime performances are symphony conductor, Vanessa Scammell (Birds of Tokyo, The Cat Empire) and arranger, Alex Turley (Genesis Owusu, Dan Sultan). Together with Lime Cordiale’s Oliver and Louis Leimbach, they have dived into the full Lime Cordiale catalogue and created an exciting set list with a symphonic twist. With over 80 musicians on stage, get ready to hear your favourite Lime tracks like never before. From stirring strings to thunderous brass, hits like Robbery, Temper Temper, Dirt Cheap and more are soaring to electrifying new heights.
“With a cello-playing mum, we grew up playing classical clarinet and trumpet,” says the indie-pop sibling duo. “The band came together while [Oli] was studying at the Conservatorium, and playing in concert bands and orchestras was a big part of Lime Cordiale’s beginnings.”
“This is a major bucket-list tick for us. It’s scary and intimidating, but our inner band nerds are all for it! We can’t wait to dive into some epic orchestral arrangements of our songs.”
Lime Cordiale has amassed over 500 million streams on Spotify, 40 million Apple Music streams, with YouTube views exceeding 30 million. Their infectious performances and genuine, generous interactions with their fans have made them one of Australia’s most in-demand acts, playing to wildly enthusiastic crowds across Australia and overseas.
Lime Cordiale’s third studio album, Enough of The Sweet Talk, was released in July 2024 and was the first ever recipient of the ARIA’s Australian #1 Award, which is handed out to the best-selling homegrown album. It’s a headrush of enchanting indie-pop; a tour de force that showcases how much Lime Cordiale both continues to remain tied to their roots and evolve exponentially. The album features singles ‘Cold Treatment’, ‘The Big Reveal’, ‘Ou L'Hypocrite’, ‘Pedestal’, ‘Imposter Syndrome’, ‘Colin’, ‘Country Club’, and ‘Facts Of Life’, as well as another 6 tracks.
Earlier this month the band announced The Love Is Off The Table regional Australian tour in support of the album. The tour takes in 13 stops down the East Coast.
Enough Of The Sweet Talk follows on from albums 14 Steps To A Better You and Permanent Vacation, and Cordi Elba– their acclaimed collaboration with actor/musician/DJ and record label boss Idris Elba.
