Midnight Oil announce "The Great Circle 2017" World Tour & new box sets

Australian alt-rock greats Midnight Oil have announced details of their 2017 world tour, which will be — apart from a couple stadium shows in Australia — their first in 15 years. Called “The Great Circle 2017,” the tour will round the globe starting in April. Dates include a stop in NYC at Webster Hall on May 13. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday, February 24 at 10 Am with a presale beginning February 22 at 10 AM. Sign up for Midnight Oli’s mailing list to get the presale password. All dates are listed below.

In addition to the tour announcement, Midnight Oil have also announced three new retrospective box sets: “The Full Tank” CD set featuring all of their existing albums and EP’s; and a new four-CD/eight-DVD set called “The Overflow Tank” which will include over 14 hours of previously unreleased and rare material. Both are housed in minature replicas of the water tanks the band have used as stage props over the years. There’s also a vinyl box set with 11 LP’s and two 12″ EP’s, all remastered from the original tapes at Abbey Road Studios. Preorders are available now and packaging, artwrok and contents are listed, along with some classic videos, below.
