The Whitlams Orchestral '26 - New Show Dates Added
The Whitlams' most ambitious tour yet with seven of Australia's finest orchestras has 80% sold out, and with evenings in Sydney and Newcastle now full up, new shows are going on sale today.
The Whitlams moves into the State Theatre with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in the last weekend of January and is now adding a third show on the afternoon of Saturday 31 January at 2pm.
Newcastle has once again proved to be the bands' strongest regional supporter, and having sold out The Civic Theatre in quick time with the Sydney Philharmonic, The Whitlams is thrilled to put a second show on sale in the Steel City on Friday 13 March.
Some kind words from last month's MSO shows:
"Tim Freedman's dry humour and charm was the perfect buffer to weave between this stunning discography... The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra injected an already beautiful selection of songs with spine-tingling emotion, this reviewer's eyes constantly cloudy with tears with every crescendo. Tim Freedman's unmistakable voice was as strong and powerful as ever, eliciting loud cheers and a standing ovation from an adoring audience." Scenstr
"... a rare afternoon of class and drama. With the MSO amplifying the songs, familiar Whitlams tracks felt newly cinematic. Freedman's words are already mini-movies, but the symphonic backing magnified every twist of drama, swapping rock swagger for orchestral grandeur." Noise 11
"The Whitlams' orchestral show is a tour de force of emotion and classic songs. The two-hour show encapsulates The Whitlams' remarkable story. Beauty, pathos, humour, tragedy and triumph." The Music
