About Crime & the City Solution - Australian Acoustic Tour 2027.

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Crime &amp; the City Solution&nbsp;</strong>will return in January 2027 for an Australian Acoustic Tour. Simon Bonney, Bronwyn Adams and Joshua Murphy will present an intimate, stripped-back reimagining of songs spanning the band&rsquo;s catalogue - from their early Australian origins and Berlin years through to their most recent work.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Formed in Australia and later based in London and Berlin, Crime &amp; the City Solution have forged a distinctive path through more than four decades of post-punk. Led by Bonney, the band&rsquo;s various lineups have featured members of The Birthday Party, The Bad Seeds, Einst&uuml;rzende Neubauten and These Immortal Souls.</p><p style="text-align: center;">These January shows offer a rare opportunity to experience the legendary band in a configuration centred on Bonney&rsquo;s vocals, enriched by Adams and Murphy&rsquo;s vocal interplay and harmonies, alongside Adams&rsquo; violin and Murphy&rsquo;s guitar.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Opening solo set from <strong>Joshua Murphy</strong>.</p><p><br></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/production-api-file-upload/uploads%2Fclient-13185%2Fevent-description%2F1791245120836-Crime+Lauryn+Zoe+Hinsch.jpg" style="width: 428px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>Photo Credit: Lauryn Zoe Hinsch</em></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><hr style="text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: center;">TICKETING INFO</p><p style="text-align: center;">This is an 18+ event.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">Do not attend if you are feeling unwell.</p><p style="text-align: center;">PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:</p><p style="text-align: center;">Once purchased tickets are non-refundable &amp; non-transferable</p><p style="text-align: center;">A booking fee applies to all advance tickets.
