THE iconic Australian band Hunters and Collectors have been announced as headliners of the third annual day on the green at Petersons Winery, Armidale on Saturday 1 March 2014.
This will be their first tour since 1998, performing 10 day on the green concerts nationally, followed by two special indoor concerts at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre and Melbourne’s Palais Theatre.
Promoter Roundhouse Entertainment has once again put together a stellar line-up with the Hunters being joined by another iconic Australian rocker, Diesel.
Special guests will be Something For Kate and British India, who both appear on the Hunters tribute album ‘Crucible’ released September 27.
Ask anyone to describe a Hunters and Collectors gig and words like ‘primal’, ‘sweat-soaked’, ‘intense’, and ‘ferocious’ come to the fore.
Few bands made their mark in the live landscape like ‘The Hunnas’ did. It was a badge of honour they wore with pride and fought to sustain at every show – approaching 2000 of them across 15 countries – resulting in a profound connection with audiences everywhere.
When they called it a day in 1998, Hunters and Collectors were a multi-platinum selling band, with five top 10 albums boasting classic songs like ‘Throw Your Arms Around Me’, ‘Talking to a Stranger’,‘ Holy Grail’, ‘When The River Runs Dry’, ‘Do You See What I See’, ‘Say Goodbye’ and countless others.
In 2005 they were inducted by Peter Garrett into the ARIA Hall of Fame. In March 2009 the Sound Relief benefit concert at the MCG brought them temporarily out of retirement, with a set that won rave reviews
