THE BLACK CROWES | Newcastle Entertainment Centre, Newcastle

The Black Crowes bring their acclaimed live show to Newcastle Entertainment Centre on Friday 10 April 2026, marking their long-awaited return to regional Australia.
Led by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, the band’s unmistakable mix of soulful vocals, gritty guitar work and blues-inspired rock has made them global icons of modern rock & roll.
Their most recent studio album, Happiness Bastards, received critical acclaim and a GRAMMY nomination for Best Rock Album, while their 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination cements their legendary status. Known for their fiery live performances, The Black Crowes have toured relentlessly since reuniting in 2019, playing more than 150 shows across 20 countries.
Now, Newcastle fans can experience that same raw, powerful energy live — a show that celebrates over three decades of music, spirit and authenticity.
The Black Crowes’ return is more than a concert — it’s a reminder of everything that makes real rock & roll timeless.
Special Guest: The Southern River Band
Bluesfest Tours is thrilled to welcome The Southern River Band as the national support artist for The Black Crowes’ headline shows.
Trying to run a rock’n’roll band in Perth in the 21st century “isn’t exactly the coolest thing in the world,” as frontman Cal Kramer puts it — but The Southern River Band have never cared much for doing what’s expected. Their unshakeable attitude, blistering live energy, and commitment to doing things their way has earned them a devoted following across Australia and beyond.
Behind the humour, the Herculean mullet, and the sweat-drenched antics lies a seriously formidable unit: Cal Kramer (vocals/guitar), Pat Smith (bass), Dan Carroll (guitar), Tyler Michie (drums). The Southern River Band take their craft seriously — and their live show must be seen to be believed.
