RUSSELL CROWE’S INDOOR GARDEN PARTY ANNOUNCE ONE-NIGHT-ONLY SHOWAT THE ENMORE THEATRE ON SATURDAY 20 DECEMBER
What is INDOOR GARDEN PARTY?It is a band.An Event.A celebration!
Having performed all over the world from Glastonbury Festival to Rome’s Colosseum in 2024, Russell Crowe’s Indoor Garden Party will play just one show in 2025 – an intimate performance at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre alongside special guests BRAKE, Marcia Hines, Troy Cassar-Daley, Lorraine O’Reilly and Danielle Spencer.When asked what the audience should expect, Crowe replies enigmatically, “Stories, songs, and surprises”, delivered via an eclectic mix of rock, blues, country and gospel, original songs, covers and collaborations. You can see the grandeur of these performances when watching Russell Crowe’s Indoor Garden Party perform ‘Save Me’ live in Siena: the beautifully shot gospel style music video for ‘ Let Your Light Shine featuring Marcia Hines: . Their upcoming performance at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre promises more of the same but in an incredibly intimate setting for those lucky enough to be in the room. First brought to life in 2009 on a rainy night in a tent outside a London pub owned by legendary talk show host Michael Parkinson, the Indoor Garden Party is the music and live performance vehicle of Academy Award winner Russell Crowe. Though Crowe has been releasing music since 1982, Indoor Garden Party are only two albums into their career, having released 2017’s The Musical and more recently 2024’s Prose and Cons. Earlier this year, Crowe also released a duet with Italian legend Zucchero, of the Eddie Vedder song ‘ Just Breathe’, and performed two concerts with him at Rome’s Circo Massimo.Crowe’s ease with audiences and his ability to connect drives every show to a foot-stomping crescendo, with UK press describing Crowe as “Every inch the rock star” and “The perfect front man” after his spectacular performance at Glastonbury last year. Because of his intense work schedule on his day job, carving time out for music takes a good deal of planning. 2023 and 2024 saw Indoor Garden Party play a bunch of shows at home in Australia, but also tour to Italy, France, Malta, Czech Republic, Ireland, UK and USA, with the band stacking up performances at legendary venues. Whether it be the The Whiskey a Go-Go in Los Angeles, Tipitina’s in New Orleans, Gaiety Theatre in Dublin, the Colosseum in Rome, La Cigale in Paris, the ancient amphitheatre in Pompeii, or 12,000 people crammed into Piazza del Campo in Siena, the shows have been epic. 2025 has just one show, Saturday 20 December at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney. One of the traditions of Indoor Garden Party shows is the eclectic guests that get up and perform with the band, and this show will be no exception. From the USA, indie rock superstar in the making, BRAKE, whose pop driven rock songs flash around social media sites like TikTok, is on the bill. His track ‘ Cigarettes and Black Lipstick Stains’ has 4M listens on Spotify alone. Golden Guitar legend Troy Cassar-Daley, queen of soul Marcia Hines, and Ireland’s Lorraine O’Reilly will be guests on the night, and the show will open with Danielle Spencer performing new material, including her recent ‘ Regenerate’ single.Coming off the back of last year’s tour which covered 6 countries and 60,000km, there were initially big plans for shows in 2025. However, the year has turned monumental in Crowe’s day job. By the time the Enmore Theatre show rolls around, Crowe will have completed 6 feature films in 12 months, something he has never done before, and the titles are already generating buzz and high anticipation.Upcoming films include Nuremberg with Rami Malek, Michael Shannon & Leo Woodall (Worldwide release November 7), the Australian production Beast in Me with Dan McPherson and Amy Shark in her feature film debut, Bear Country with Luke Evans and Teresa Palmer, Billion Dollar Spy with Harry Lawtey, UNABOMB with Jacob Tremblay, The Weight with Ethan Hawke, and the hotly awaited Highlander remake with Henry Cavill. Now, to cap off what has been an extraordinary year of filmmaking, Crowe looks forward to a big Sydney hometown send off at the Enmore Theatre on Saturday 20 December where you can exclusively catch Indoor Garden Party at their only show this year.On this special one-off event, Russell Crowe says “I’m really looking forward to this concert. It has been a little frustrating having to put some music things aside for the day job as the year has gone on, but you won’t hear me complaining. In my profession, too much work is a bonus. For the band, this gig will be like a celebration. A heavy work year behind us, one big blow out to finish the year will be so much fun. It’ll be like the Christmas show you go to when you don’t really want to go to a Christmas show. It’s not official, but I’m pretty sure we will have a ‘no reindeer’ policy on the night.”
