The Living End’s 2017 run of Australian shows has received a high-octane injection today, with the announcement that a huge line-up of incredible local talent is set to guest alongside the Aussie punk rock legends for their upcoming Staring Down The Highway regional tour.
 
The trio will be supported by a selection of some of the most exciting future stars of Australian rock, including Melbourne party punk animals The Bennies (all shows), as well as a high calibre line-up of local regional talents, including:
 
Canberra: The Spindrift Saga
Wollongong: Raised as Wolves
Newcastle: Split Feed 
Central Coast: Lion Island
Laurieton & Coffs: Son of Jaguar
Ipswich, Gold Coast & Byron: Good Boy
Townsville & Airlie Beach: Why Wait
Geelong & Frankston: Pretty Littles
Traralgon: The Diecasts
Hobart: A Swayze and The Ghosts
 
Speaking of these regional shows, The Living End’s frontman Chris Cheney could barely contain his excitement to be hitting the road again for the performances ahead. “Scott, Andy and myself are getting in the Tarago for a big, loud, sweaty rock’n’roll tour and we got The Bennies coming along with us and they rule!! Hard!”
 
The news runs alongside the announcement that the band will be joined by several special guests at their run of zoo shows in Sydney and Melbourne this March.
 
They’ll be joined on stage by none other than Australian rock icon, Jimmy Barnes (Sydney, March 5th) as well as multiple ARIA award winners and revered songwriters in their own right,Josh Pyke (Sydney, March 4th) and Dan Sultan (Melbourne, March 2nd & 3rd). The all-female string quartet, The String Sirens, will be adding to the emotion and ambience of each show as well, while rising Melbourne rocker Gabriella Cohen will be supporting all zoo shows.
 
Speaking of the shows, Cheney explained each performance would be a unique experience.“There’ll be an acoustic set, an electric set, a string quartet and some seriously legendary guests.”
