Following a North American run in August and September, the band will head to Europe for three weeks in October. Stops on the European leg include Madrid, Spain; Vienna, Austria; Berlin; Copenhagen, Denmark; Stockholm, Sweden; Cologne, Germany, and Brussels, Belgium.

The band will spend two weeks down under in November. Dates scheduled in New Zealand include Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, while Australian stops include Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.

Opening on all Australian shows is Augie March, whose award winning Moo, You Bloody Choir was recently released in the United States.

Crowded House will finish out the year in the U.K., beginning November 26 at National Stadium in Dublin, Ireland. Other U.K. stops include Belfast, Manchester, Glasgow, Nottingham, Birmingham, Cardiff, Bournemouth, Brighton and London.

The band’s upcoming appearance at the Australian portion of Live Earth on July 7 in Sydney should help generate interest in their new release, Time On Earth, due to drop June 30 in Australia, July 2 in the U.K., and July 10 in the U.S.

Recent Australian runs by Neil Finn with Split Enz and the Finn Brothers (with his elder sibling Tim) have been sellouts.
