Singer-songwriter James Reyne will head out on the road in 2024 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Australian Crawl’s first greatest hits collection, Crawl File. The album is officially being reissued this week by Universal Music, and contains the band’s most enduring hits, ‘Reckless’, ‘The Boys Light Up’, and ‘Errol’.
Reyne will bring a full band along for the ‘Crawl File’ tour, which will begin at Kingscliff Beach Hotel on Saturday, 6th January. The majority of the dates will take place along the east coast – including a set alongside Baby Animals in Coogee – with two shows also locked in for Adelaide. The final stop on the tour will be the Northcote Theatre on Saturday, 23rd March. See the full list of dates below.
- UPDATE 28/11/23: More shows added to the Crawl File tour, which now stretches into July 2024. Details below.
Australian Crawl: ‘Reckless’
“It was all a long time ago,” Reyne said of his years fronting Australian Crawl. “And sometimes I feel like it was another person who lived that life. But I’m still making music and I’m still on the road. Australian Crawl was a great apprenticeship.”
Apart from the tour, Reyne has also been locked in to perform at the Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash in August. The singer spent a fair whack of 2023 on tour with Ella Hooper in support of their new version of classic track ‘Way Out West’ – although some of the dates were initially rescheduled due to Reyne breaking his ankle.
Reyne’s last full-length release was 2020’s Toon Town Lullaby – read the track-by-track here.
