Irish pop icons The Corrs will return to Australia in November for the first time in over 20 years for a one-off performance in the New South Wales Hunter Valley. The family band will play at Hope Estate on Saturday, 26th November, joined by Scottish pop veterans Wet Wet Wet, singer-songwriter Ben Lee and Gaudion.
The evening prior, the band will appear in Sydney for a “VIP cocktail party” at Carriageworks, where The Corrs will be interviewed by Richard Wilkins, followed by an audience Q&A and meet-and-greet. Tickets for both nights will go on sale this Friday, 2nd September at 9am.
The Corrs – ‘Breathless’
The upcoming Hunter Valley concert will be the Corrs’ first Australian show in over two decades. The band last toured here in 2001, playing arenas in Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney and Melbourne, after achieving massive success with hits like ‘Breathless’, ‘I Never Loved You Anyway’, ‘Runaway’, ‘Heaven Knows’, ‘Forgiven, Not Forgotten’ and ‘Only When I Sleep’.
The Corrs debuted in 1995 with the album Forgiven, Not Forgotten, which reached #1 on the ARIA albums chart. Their next album, 1997’s Talk On Corners, went five-times ARIA platinum, while 2000’s In Blue put the Corrs back at the top of the chart in Australia.
The band went on a lengthy hiatus following the release of their fifth studio album, 2005’s Home. However, they regrouped a decade later, releasing the album White Light in 2015 and Jupiter Calling in 2017. The band’s lineup continues to revolve around the siblings Andrea Corr, Caroline Corr, Jim Corr and Sharon Corr.
