Crime & The City Solution - Australian Acoustic Tour 2027

Sat 9 Jan 5:30pm - 9:30pm

Odessa at Leaver's Hotel, Ballarat

Crime & the City Solution 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’s catalogue - from their early Australian origins and Berlin years through to their most recent work.

Formed in Australia and later based in London and Berlin, Crime & the City Solution have forged a distinctive path through more than four decades of post-punk. Led by Bonney, the band’s various lineups have featured members of The Birthday Party, The Bad Seeds, Einstürzende Neubauten and These Immortal Souls.

These January shows offer a rare opportunity to experience the legendary band in a configuration centred on Bonney’s vocals, enriched by Adams and Murphy’s vocal interplay and harmonies, alongside Adams’ violin and Murphy’s guitar.
