The Black Crowes bring their unmistakable blend of rock, soul and blues to The Forum, Melbourne on Thursday 3 April 2026.
Formed by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, the GRAMMY-nominated band has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide and remains one of rock’s most enduring live acts.
Since reuniting in 2019, The Black Crowes have reignited the fire that made them a global force — performing more than 150 shows across 20 countries and earning both a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination and their first GRAMMY nomination in over three decades for Happiness Bastards (Best Rock Album).
Known for their dynamic stage presence and authentic, blues-infused sound, The Black Crowes continue to captivate audiences with every performance. Returning to Australia after their acclaimed 2022 tour, the band’s Melbourne show promises to be a night of pure, unfiltered rock & roll — no gloss, no gimmicks, just rhythm and soul at its finest.
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.
