Blurred Crusade and
Priest=Aura,
the band have received international acclaim with fans within New Zealand and
across the world still enjoying their iconic music today.
The Church’s groundbreaking and most successful album
Starfish remains known for
the iconic signature tune
Under the Milky Way, an ARIA-winning
fan-favourite that has stood the test of time. Released in 1988, the LP
features 10 individually memorable songs that marked a new worldwide commercial
success for the band. A very special 30th Anniversary white vinyl edition of
Starfish will be available exclusively via VIP ticket bundles

As one of the hardest working and enduring bands in the industry,
singer-songwriter and bass player Steve Kilbey, founding member and
multi-instrumentalist Peter Koppes and drummer Tim Powles together with
guitarist Ian Haug continue to look towards the future while celebrating their
successful past. With the addition of Haug in 2014, formerly of iconic

Further/Deeper that same year
and with follow-up
