MIDNIGHT OIL TICKETS

About

Midnight Oil have announced that this chapter of their career will come to a memorable close in 2022 with the release of the other 12 new songs they recorded with Bones and a series of big gigs. Both are aptly titled Resist.

Who is Midnight Oil?

Midnight Oil are an Australian rock band composed of Peter Garrett (vocals, harmonica), Rob Hirst(drums), Jim Moginie (guitar, keyboard), Martin Rotsey (guitar) and Bones Hillman (bass guitar). The group was formed in Sydney in 1972 by Hirst, Moginie and original bassist Andrew James as Farm: they enlisted Garrett the following year, changed their name in 1976, and hired Rotsey a year later. Peter Gifford served as bass player from 1980–1987.

Midnight Oil issued their self-titled debut album in 1978 and quickly gained a cult following in their homeland. The band became a mainstream act in Australasia with the release of 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 (1982) – which spawned the singles "Power and the Passion" and "US Forces" – and also began to attract an audience in the United States. They achieved their first Australian number one album in 1984 with Red Sails in the Sunset, and topped their native country's singles chart for six weeks with the EP Species Deceases (1985).

The political agitators announced their first World Tour in over two decades for 2017. They also unveiled plans to release three archival box sets including a collection called The Overflow Tank which contains more than 14 hours of previously unreleased and rare material.

“The Great Circle 2017” World Tour saw the group’s classic line-up literally circle around our overheating planet for 6 months, starting and ending with gigs in Sydney.
