About

Get ready for an unforgettable night as The Whitlams take the stage to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their double platinum album, Love This City.

The album was the ambitious big-budget follow up to the award-winning Eternal Nightcap, and was named in Rolling Stone's Best Australian Albums of All Time list last year at no. 101. Spawning famous singles "Blow Up the Pokies" and "Thank You (for loving me at my worst)", the album will be played in full with a greatest hits set including live favourites. But that's not all - this time they're bringing a brass section to cover many of the melody lines that were such a feature of the lushly orchestrated long player.

Tim Freedman will be joined by long term cohorts guitarist Jak Housden and drummer Terepai Richmond, who were both part of the sessions back in 1999, with new member multi-instrumentalist Ian Peres.

It will be an evening of memories, milestones and humour as the band delivers their usual rambunctious performance, complete with the power of brass.

Whether you've been a devoted fan since the beginning or have just discovered their music, this anniversary show will be the perfect way to be part of a night filled with The Whitlams' unique brand of melodic magic, captivating lyrics, and unforgettable melodies

  • You Gotta Love this City

    by Henry on 14/10/24City Recital Hall - SydneyRating: 5 out of 5

    What an amazing first experience for us at the City Recital Hall with its great acoustics and being able to enjoy The Whitlams first Sydney gig on tour. Loved the intimacy and ease of access and the many bars.
