DESCRIPTION:
In February 2017, Midnight Oil took to Sydney Harbour and announced The Great Circle World Tour. The Circle would begin where the band started out, in Sydney’s pubs, then circumnavigate the globe. It was to be their first tour in over 15 years.
Over the next six months, Midnight Oil played in 16 countries, across five continents, speaking out for a healthy planet, and social justice along the way. Eventually, they returned to circle around Australia, the land that shaped the Oils and their music.
