After a stellar 3 decade career, Seattle rockers, Candlebox are calling it a day and will finally visit Australia for the first and last ever time this January.
Emerging from Seattle’s mid-’90s grunge scene, Candlebox made a lasting impact on the rock music landscape with their deeply meaningful lyrics and catchy hooks. Their 1993 self-titled debut album sold over 4 million copies worldwide and produced the iconic hits Far Behind, You, and Cover Me – all three of which have a combine 200 million streams on Spotify. Their second album, ’95’s Lucy, solidified their position in the alternative rock scene, and they have earned a rock solid reputation for their consistently powerful live performances that have cemented their place among Seattle’s elite rock bands.
Candlebox have just released their final album, The Long Goodbye and are currently on their global farewell tour, aptly named The Long Goodbye Tour. During their 30 years, the band have somehow never been to Australia and that is something they’d like to remedy before hanging up their guitars.
On the upcoming tour, vocalist Kevin Martin says: “I can’t believe after 30 years we’re actually coming to Australia to play. What better way to wrap up an illustrious 30 year career than with all you beautiful Aussies on our Long Goodbye Tour, we are beyond excited. We have been trying to get to Australia since 1993 and it’s finally happening, I can’t believe it, can’t stand still, so excited!”
